It is extremely difficult for most workers to receive full compensation for the injuries and losses they suffer from workplace accidents. In the majority of cases, workers' compensation falls short of covering the full extent of medical bills, lost wages and related losses. If you have been injured at work, it is important to work with a lawyer who has the experience to explore all of the compensation options available to you.
The Law Office of Tom Guccione represents clients in Brooklyn and throughout the five boroughs for workplace injuries and other accident claims. Attorney Guccione has 39 years of experience serving New York clients, and in that time, he has helped many injured workers obtain full and fair compensation for the injuries they have suffered. He understands the needs of injured workers and is dedicated to seeking all the compensation they are entitled to receive.
Going Beyond Workers' Compensation
Workers' compensation laws prohibit injured workers from bringing personal injury claims against their employers. This limitation, combined with the inadequate financial help provided by workers' comp insurance, leaves injured workers in a difficult position. However, if you have been injured in a workplace accident, you might have the option to bring a third-party liability claim.
A claim of this kind is not brought against an employer or co-worker. Instead, third-party claims are personal injury, product liability or related claims against an individual or party not directly under the supervision or employ of your employer. Third-party cases can involve lawsuits against vendors, manufacturers of faulty or dangerous equipment, or other parties whose negligence contributed to your injuries.
"I have decades of experience handling third-party liability claims arising from accidents at work, including construction site accidents, industrial accidents, office-related injuries and other accidents. I will take the time to listen to your story and look for any evidence of negligence upon which we could build a winning case. After workplace injuries, you deserve to obtain the full measure of compensation, and I can help you."
