Workers’ Compensation + Third-Party Claims: Maximizing Your Recovery
Many construction injuries involve multiple avenues for compensation:
1. New York Workers’ Compensation Benefits
We handle every aspect of your WC claim — from filing through hearings, appeals, and settlements. We fight for medical treatment, lost wages, Schedule Loss of Use awards, and permanent disability benefits.
2. Third-Party Personal Injury Lawsuits
When a negligent third party (general contractor, subcontractor, property owner, equipment manufacturer, or site safety coordinator) contributes to your injury, we pursue a separate lawsuit for pain and suffering, additional lost wages, and future damages not covered by workers’ compensation.
Our past results include multi-million dollar third-party recoveries combined with workers’ compensation settlements for construction workers.
Types of Construction Injuries We Represent
- Spinal cord and back injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Fractures and broken bones
- Amputations and crush injuries

Frequently Asked Questions About Construction Accidents
Can I sue if I already received workers’ compensation?
Yes. Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system that does not prevent you from filing a third-party lawsuit against negligent parties other than your direct employer.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Workers’ compensation has strict deadlines (30 days notice to employer). Personal injury claims generally have a 3-year statute of limitations. We act quickly to protect all your rights.
What if the construction company blames me for the accident?
We investigate thoroughly and fight back against blame-shifting tactics commonly used by insurers and employers.
