No Obligation: Talk to a Personal Injury Lawyer in NYC

At Hecht & Hecht, LLP, we offer a free initial consultation where we can talk to you about your injury and possible legal options. Depending on the nature of your on-the-job injury, you may be eligible for workers' compensation plus additional compensation if the accident was caused by a negligent party or if a law designed to protect workers was violated.

To determine if you are eligible for additional compensation for your work injury, we must investigate whether there was a premises defect or a violation of a safety rule on the worksite that caused the accident. Examples of third-party liability in a workplace injury case include:

• Careless workplace owners
• Malfunctioning equipment
• Dangerous worksite conditions
• Negligent coworkers
• Negligent third-party contractors
• Failure to provide appropriate protective devices

Workplace injury cases that involve a third party claim can yield significant compensation for the accident victim. While it is not possible to anticipate the total amount of compensation available, talking to a personal injury lawyer early in your workplace injury case can be beneficial. Contact our office by telephone at 212.226.2400 to arrange for your free initial consultation.
