Options for Seeking Compensation for an Industrial Accident
If you have suffered injuries from an industrial accident, it is vital to consult an experienced New York industrial accident lawyer to find out about your options for seeking compensation. You may be able to recover compensation by filing a:
- Workers’ compensation claim
You can file for workers’ compensation if you are an employee working on an industrial site when the accident occurred. Workers’ compensation is designed to provide workers with a financial cushion when they suffer work-related injuries. Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system. This means that you don’t have to prove fault to recover compensation. Workers receive wage replacement and medical care benefits for work-related injuries and illnesses regardless of who is at fault.
New York laws require employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance to cover their employees. In most instances, workers seeking workers’ compensation cannot file a personal injury claim against their employers. However, there are some exceptions, e.g., in the case of gross negligence.
- Personal injury claim
You may also be able to file a personal injury claim against a third party whose negligence or recklessness contributed to the accident that caused your injuries. For example, if you were injured while using defective machinery, you can file a claim for compensation from the manufacturer of the defective equipment or part.
To file a personal injury lawsuit, you must prove that there was negligence and that this negligence resulted in the accident that caused your injuries.
Contact the Harrison Law Group to speak with an experienced New York Industrial Accident Lawyer and determine what options are available to you.
If you have been injured in an industrial accident in New York, you may be eligible to recover compensation for various damages. These include:
- Past, present, and future medical expenses

What to do if you’ve been injured in an accident:
- Report your accident to the appropriate authorities ASAP. Whether this is the police, an employer, a store employee, or a supervisor. Get medical treatment for any injuries you have sustained, don’t “shake it off.” Some injuries, like traumatic brain injuries or internal injuries, can have delayed symptoms. The sooner you can receive medical attention, the better for your health and your case.
- Collect as much information as possible. You or someone you trust should attempt to get information from any involved parties. Important information can be the names of all parties involved and any eyewitnesses. If you were in a car crash, get the other driver’s insurance information too.
- Take photographs. Photograph the scene, your injuries, the causing factors of the accident, and anything you think may be relevant. If you were injured on someone’s property due to a dangerous condition, take photos of the dangerous condition.
- Get copies of all relevant documents. This can include police reports, incident reports, medical documents, and communications with insurance companies.
The more information you have about your case, the stronger your claim will be. If you were injured due to another’s carelessness, contact one of our experienced New York Personal Injury lawyers to learn more about filing a claim.
