Worker Compensation and Statute of Limitations
Workers’ compensation typically covers medical expenses and lost wages if you’re injured on the job at a construction site. You may also be entitled to bring a personal injury claim if someone other than the employer, often referred to as a third party, is responsible for the accident leading to the injury.
To ensure fair compensation for a construction-related injury, you need to evaluate your rights under New York’s workers’ compensation and personal injury laws. If you choose to file a workers’ compensation claim, be sure to do so no later than two years from the date of the accident, or you may be barred from taking legal action.
