Injury Law in NYC
The Fuchsberg Law Firm provides legal counsel and advice for individuals and employees who have been injured in a NYC location or at your job. If you have been hurt in an accident or through the negligence or misconduct of a person or company, there are drug and product, injury, medical malpractice, and wrongful death laws that will protect your rights. Additionally, if a close family member has died from medical malpractice, there are laws which allow you to collect monetary damages for your loss. Our compassionate yet aggressive personal injury attorneys can provide you with information about these laws and how they apply to your situation.
Workplace Injuries
The US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) provides fascinating data on workplace injuries. Why are these numbers fascinating? They show what fatal injuries are prevalent in NYC workplaces. These statistics can help direct future NYC personal injury laws.
The good news is that changes in Workmen’s Compensation laws and changes to promote workplace safety have contributed to 2007 being the lowest number of fatalities since the BLS started tracking these statistics in 1992. The BLS also provides helpful links for changes to NY Workmen’s Compensation laws.
NYC Workmen’s Compensation Laws
