Workplace Injury Attorneys in Niagara Falls, New York

Many workers are injured on the job and do not realize that in addition to a workers' compensation claim, they may also have a right of action (lawsuit) against the negligent party. This may entitle the injured worker to benefits for pain and suffering, loss of future income or loss of consortium which are not covered under the workers' compensation system.


According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, over 3 million workplace injuries occurred in 2011, with over 50% resulting in lost time in excess of a few days. Workplace injuries can occur at a fixed work location or at an offsite location.
