Buffalo Workers’ Compensation Legal Blog

If you live in upstate New York, you know that the weather can change with little warning. Therefore, if you happen to be working outdoors, it’s important that you pay attention to the forecast to ensure that you’re prepared for the elements. It’s also important that you pay attention to your surroundings when working outdoors. This may help to ensure that you don’t get hurt by passing vehicles, animals or other hazards that you may encounter.

In the hours and days after getting hurt at work, you are probably focused on getting the medical care you need to relieve your pain and regain bodily function as quickly as possible. It’s understandable that you aren’t thinking of workers’ compensation immediately after a serious work-related accident.
