Workers' compensation: Work Related Injuries

Every day workers get injured on the job - injuries that may be serious, permanent, or even lead to death. OSHA estimates that 5,000 workers die each year from work-related injuries.

If you or a loved one is injured on the job, you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits, regardless of who is at fault. The law requires employers to buy insurance and to compensate employees in case of work-related injuries.

Worker's Compensation Benefits

Workers’ compensation benefits usually cover your medical expenses and a percentage (usually one half to two thirds) of your wages while you are unable to work. In exchange for these guaranteed payments you will not be able to sue your employer. You may, however, still sue any third party who may have negligently contributed to, or caused, your injury.

Please briefly describe your legal concern:

NEW YORK - Ailing ground zero workers went to court Tuesday to demand that the company overseeing a $1 billion Sept. 11 insurance fund spend the money to pay for their health care.The workers have already filed a class action lawsuit claiming the toxic dust from the World Trade Center site gave them serious, sometimes fatal diseases. On Tuesday, they sought compensation from the WTC Captive Insurance Co., the company in charge of money appropriated by Congress to deal with Sept. 11 health-related claims.
