New York Construction Unions

If you are a union construction worker who has been injured on the job, the attorneys at Block O'Toole & Murphy, LLP can provide legal advice and representation to help you get through this difficult time. We understand how New York's Workers Compensation laws can affect union workers and are dedicated to helping workers receive the financial compensation they need after an on-the-job injury. We will work hard to make sure that your employer and its insurance company respect your rights, so that you get the justice you deserve.

Our attorneys can review your union contract and advise you of any additional rights, benefits, and protections it may provide. For example, depending on the terms of your contract, you may be entitled to a disability pension or a restoration of sick and vacation time. Some labor unions may also provide special assistance to injured union members, such as help with investigating the accident that caused the employee's injuries.

When union workers are catastrophically injured on construction sites, Workers Compensation is only part of their ability to recover.  Many injured union workers are also eligible to recover monetary compensation through a "Third Party Claim" or lawsuit.  You should consult with an experienced construction accident law firm immediately to know whether you have the right to commence a Third Party Claim.  An experienced construction accident law firm can help you pursue both a Workers Compensation claim and a Third Party Claim so that you receive maximum compensation for your injury.
