After a major accident at work, injured employees frequently face an uphill battle in getting their lives back on track. They hardly ever actually go through these difficulties alone. Family members of the victims of workplace injuries usually experience the financial hardships of these types of injuries.

If you are injured at the workplace, the last thing you want is for your loved ones to be burdened with financial stress as you are recovering and getting back to normal.

This is why it's important to consult with legal counsel. An experienced NY employment law attorney will know what steps to take to get you the compensation you deserve, as well as the options available to you. Brandon J. Broderick has years of experience and know-how to get you fair compensation.

Families Bear The Brunt of Financial Responsibility

It can be financially taxing, as well as physically and emotionally when you sustain a catastrophic injury at work. In states like New York or New Jersey, funeral and medical expenses can be quite expensive. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reports that victims and their families frequently shoulder up to 50% of these expenses. The other 50% include:

  • Private medical insurance: 13%
  • Government sources: 16%
  • Workers' comp: 21%

The immediate expenses for funerals, medical bills, and lost wages are the least of your problems. There is much more to the total cost. You could lose out on other opportunities and setbacks, such as missing out on the chance to send your children to college or plan for the future. This is why you should take all the necessary steps to ensure you recover from your injuries and obtain compensation that will cover your losses.

Dealing with the financial effects of occupational injuries as quickly as possible to minimize these losses and reduce the financial strain on your family. There are many advantages offered by the workers' compensation system in New York that can help you.
