If you were hurt on the job in New York, workers’ compensation is supposed to cover your medical care and a portion of your lost wages — regardless of who caused the accident. In practice, injured workers run into denied claims, delayed checks, disputed treatment and pressure to return to work before they are ready.
The Raimondo Law Firm helps injured Long Island workers get what the system owes them — and looks beyond it. Compensation benefits never pay for pain and suffering, so when anyone other than your employer shares responsibility for your injury, a separate lawsuit may recover what comp cannot.

The Question Most Workers Never Get Asked
Who else, besides your employer, had a hand in your injury? A negligent driver, a property owner, another company’s crew, a defective tool or machine — any of these can support a lawsuit for full damages that runs alongside your compensation claim. It is the difference between partial wage replacement and real compensation for what the injury has taken. On job sites, construction accident claims are the clearest example, and we have handled them for nearly 40 years.
