WHAT TO DO AFTER A WORKPLACE ACCIDENT

Notify your supervisor/employer and call 911 to the scene.
While you await emergency services, take pictures of what caused your accident.
Ask witnesses for their contact information.
Once you receive medical treatment, obtain a copy of all medical documentation/bills of your injuries from your physician.
Hire a competent New York City & White Plains work injury lawyer who can help you file a C-3 form with the Workers’ Compensation Board and/or advise you of your legal options.

WORKERS’ COMPENSATION BENEFITS IN NEW YORK STATE

In New York, workers’ compensation insurance is mandatory for most employers. If you qualify for benefits, you’ll receive coverage for healthcare expenses, two-thirds of your average weekly wage, and even travel costs for medical appointments. This special type of insurance ensures you’re protected and taken care of when you need it most.

THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS IN NEW YORK STATE

In some cases, employees with work-related injuries may choose to file third-party claims instead of workers’ compensation claims. These claims hold someone else responsible for the accident, such as a property owner or product designer. Unlike workers’ compensation, there is no limit on the damages that can be recovered in third-party claims.

STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS

Timing is crucial for workers’ compensation and third-party claims. In New York, you have a two-year window to file a workers’ compensation claim and a three-year window for a third-party claim. Act swiftly to protect your rights. Consult a top work injury lawyer in NYC & White Plains for a bright future ahead!

José Báez is an excellent Attorney. He helped me through one of the toughest times in my life. He gave me support and was very professional and of high quality. José was always accessible and always returns my calls without delay. I just can’t say enough about José Báez. Anybody who’s been injured in a truck accident, or any other accident should definitely hire José Báez. I strongly recommend Mr. Báez.

- Elizabeth S.

Not only have I had the pleasure of working alongside Jose, but I’ve also been on the receiving end of his handling of the transference of my father’s estate. Jose and the Baez Legal Group demonstrated a kind of versatility, accountability, and dedication rarely seen outside of large international law firms. He handles a wide variety of cases with seeming ease, often surprising both his clients and I with the scope of his knowledge of different legal disciplines. Jose is not one of the myriads of lawyers that always seem too busy to allocate the proper amount of care and time to their clients; in fact, he was often in the habit of reaching out first, even if just to see how we’re doing. Should you wish to receive an unprecedented amount of excellence in the handling of your case, the Baez Legal Group should be your first and only resort.
