New York Workers Compensation Attorney Edgar Romano Speaks About Workplace Injuries
New York, NY (PRWEB) July 13, 2013 -- Some of the most serious workplace accidents can occur as a result of everyday tasks. According to workers compensation lawyer Edgar Romano of Pasternack Tilker Ziegler Walsh Stanton & Romano, LLP, workers should know their rights if they’ve been hurt at work.
“Although a worker might use machinery or equipment many times, accidents can still happen for any number of reasons,” said Romano, whose firm helps injured workers pursue benefits after accidents. “It’s important to realize you should always submit a workers compensation claim if you are injured on the job. Even if a worker is at fault, he or she can still receive compensation.”
In a June 23 story called “Construction Worker Hurt During Demolition of JFK Runway,” CBS New York reported that a construction worker suffered non-severe injuries after a worker was struck in the leg by falling debris as crews demolished an unused runway at John F. Kennedy International Airport.
An experienced workers compensation attorney understands that accidents happen for a variety of different reasons, said Romano.
“It’s important to seek help from an experienced New York workers compensation attorney to make sure your rights are fully protected after an accident,” Romano said. “Regardless of an accident’s cause – it could be an accident involving machinery, falling debris, or even the negligent behavior of another party – workers in New York are entitled to workers compensation benefits if they’ve been hurt at work. A workers compensation attorney can help guide you through the process of applying for workers compensation benefits and even help you if your claim has been denied.”
