Workers’ Compensation Lawyers in New York, NY

Workplace injuries can change lives in an instant. Whether you’re working on a construction site, in a warehouse, or in an office, a serious injury can leave you unable to earn a living and struggling to support your family. At BSW Law Group, our workers’ compensation attorneys in New York understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll of these accidents. Our approach is rooted in compassion, integrity, and results — because we know that when you’re hurt, your family depends on us to make things right.

When Workers’ Compensation Isn’t Enough in New York

While New York’s workers’ compensation system provides important benefits, it doesn’t always cover the full impact of a workplace injury. Workers’ comp may help with medical expenses and a portion of lost wages, but it cannot compensate you for pain, suffering, or loss of quality of life.

That’s why our New York workers’ compensation attorneys also focus on third-party personal injury claims. If someone other than your employer — such as a contractor, property owner, equipment manufacturer, or delivery company — contributed to your injury, you may be entitled to pursue additional compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.

Our team investigates every detail of your accident to identify all possible sources of recovery and ensure that you and your family receive the support you deserve.

Workers’ Compensation and Third-Party Claims in New York

Can I sue someone if I’m already receiving workers’ compensation benefits?

Yes. If a third party other than your employer caused your injury, you may file a personal injury claim in addition to receiving workers’ compensation benefits.

How do I know if I have a third-party claim?

Our attorneys can investigate your case to determine whether another company, contractor, or individual played a role in your accident.

Do I have to pay anything upfront?

No. At BSW Law Group, we work on a contingency fee basis — meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case.
