Promptly reported work injuries may also motivate an employer to more quickly rectify safety issues and prevent a similar injury from happening to another person.
New York, NY (PRWEB) July 25, 2012
A mechanic at Kennedy airport lost a finger when he fell into a baggage belt, said the New York Daily News (7/16/2012). David Perecman and other personal injury lawyers at The Perecman Firm are now questioning what safety measures are in place for airport employees like Berto Duran.
The 56-year-old mechanic, Duran, was about to service a baggage reclaim carousel when he tripped and fell onto the belt. The worker completely severed his left index finger in the workplace accident, the New York Daily News said.
“Accidents and injuries at work should be reported as soon as possible,” said New York personal injury lawyer David Perecman, founder of The Perecman Firm. “Workers injured in an accident at work are likely entitled to workers compensation, whether their injury is due to faulty machinery or wanton violation of minimum safety standards."
In New York, personal injury lawyers at The Perecman Firm understand compensation may cover medical bills and lost wages as well as pain, suffering and disability.
“Promptly reported work injuries may also motivate an employer to more quickly rectify safety issues and prevent a similar injury from happening to another person,” added David Perecman, a personal injury lawyer in New York who has represented victims of work related injuries and many other kinds of personal injury accidents in New York for over 30 years.
