New York Subcontractor Negligence Lawyers
Under New York workers' compensation laws, workers seeking wage benefits after suffering an injury on the job typically forfeit their right to seek additional compensation from their employers. Under certain conditions, however, injured parties may seek monetary damages for medical costs, lost wages and pain from any subcontractor on the job site who is found to be responsible for the accident causing the injuries. These may include independent contractors such as welders, electricians, HVAC installers, crane operators and scaffold companies, among others.
If you believe your New York workplace injury was the result of negligence or misconduct on the part of a contractor also working on your job site, talk to a member of the workplace injury litigation team at Colwell, Colwell & Petroccione, in Albany. Don't assume that workers' compensation insurance benefits are your only option. New York has complex laws giving injured workers the right to recover from other sources of compensation.
