Slip and Fall Injuries at Work

Brooklyn Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

There are many cases in which a worker may be badly injured in a slip and fall or trip and fall accident. An accident of this kind may happen in virtually any work environment in the Brooklyn area: in an office building, at a construction site, or in the shipping or manufacturing industries. An uneven sidewalk, a pothole, or a wet or other dangerous walking surface may cause an accident of this kind to occur.

When a person is injured in a slip and fall accident at work, he or she has the right to file a workers’ compensation claim in order to recover benefits for medical care and possibly more. New York workers’ compensation law is a no-fault program, meaning you do not have to prove that your slip and fall accident occurred because of another employee’s actions or that it was your employer’s fault. A Brooklyn workers’ compensation lawyer at our law firm can meet with you to discuss your options in filing your claim and seeking the benefits you deserve.
