Trucking Accident Worker’s Compensation
Serving Brooklyn,
Staten Island & New York City

Overview
Work-related truck accidents can cause some of the most serious injuries suffered by New York workers. Whether you are a truck driver, delivery driver, construction worker, loading dock employee, contractor, salesperson, or another worker injured in a truck-related incident while performing job duties, you may be entitled to workers compensation benefits. In Brooklyn, Staten Island, and throughout New York City, these accidents frequently result in major medical treatment, lost work time, and long-term financial hardship.

Trucking accident workers compensation cases may involve semi-truck and 18-wheeler crashes, dump truck incidents, garbage truck accidents, falls from trucks, loading and unloading injuries, and truck accidents on construction sites or in factory loading areas. You do not have to be a commercial truck driver to qualify for benefits. Workers who are making deliveries, traveling for work, running errands, or performing job-related duties around trucks may also have valid claims.

Our firm has represented delivery drivers, over-the-road truckers, commercial drivers, construction workers, loading dock employees, and many others injured in truck-related work accidents. We help clients file their workers compensation claims properly, respond to insurance delays and denials, and determine whether there may also be a third-party personal injury claim against a negligent driver, contractor, company, or another responsible party. We investigate incident reports, witness statements, vehicle records, maintenance documents, inspection logs, safety records, and expert review where necessary.

Depending on the case, injured workers may be entitled to medical treatment coverage, lost wage benefits, disability-related benefits, and in qualifying third-party cases, compensation for pain and suffering, future earning capacity, and other losses. We handle recoverable claims on a contingency fee basis, so you pay no legal fee unless we recover compensation for you.
