Healthcare Worker Injuries
We are dedicated to defending the rights of New York City’s healthcare workers. Every day, medical professionals face exposure to diseases, workplace injuries, and hazardous conditions. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), healthcare workers are more likely to contract non-fatal illnesses and injuries than those in most other professions.
With a city of over 8.5 million people, the demand for healthcare services is immense. Medical professionals put their health and safety on the line to care for others. If you have suffered an occupational illness or injury due to your job, you may be entitled to compensation.

Common Healthcare Workplace Injuries
Working in the medical field comes with significant risks. Some of the most common injuries and conditions healthcare workers
face include:
- Stress-related illnesses or injuries
- Lacerations and puncture wounds from surgical tools and needles
- Injuries from violent patients
- Back and lower-body strain from prolonged standing and walking
- Illnesses caused by exposure to harmful chemicals and drugs
- Doctors, EMTs, nurses, and other medical professionals take on these risks daily in the service of others.
What Should You Do If You Are Injured at Work?
Seek medical attention immediately. Do not downplay your injury, as this could impact your Workers’ Compensation claim.
Report the injury to your supervisor within 30 days. Delaying could jeopardize your eligibility to file a claim.
Consult a Workers’ Compensation attorney. Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts, but we ensure you receive the
compensation you deserve.
Let Us Protect Your Rights
Healthcare workers spend their lives caring for others, often at the expense of their well-being. Unfortunately, Workers’
Compensation insurers frequently attempt to minimize claims, offering the bare minimum to make cases disappear. We know
what your case is worth and will fight to secure the benefits you are entitled to.
Many clients just want to recover, return to work, and receive fair compensation for lost wages and medical expenses.
However, without legal representation, claims are often denied or undervalued. Our team is here to ensure you get the financial
support you need.
We proudly serve English, Spanish, Russian, and Polish-speaking clients, recognizing the diversity of New York City’s workforce.
If you have suffered an occupational disease or injury, there is hope.
Call today for a free, no-obligation consultation. We assist clients at our offices in New York City/Manhattan, Staten Island, and
Queens and the surrounding areas, including the Bronx, Brooklyn, Corona, Flushing, Jackson Heights, Jamaica, and Maspeth.
