Injured at Work in Queens, NY?
Every day, hardworking people across Queens get up, go to work, and do their best to provide for themselves and their families. But in an instant, everything can change.
A slip on a wet floor. A heavy box falling from a shelf. A faulty piece of equipment.
One moment you’re doing your job — the next, you’re in pain, facing medical bills, and wondering how you’ll keep up with rent, groceries, and your family’s needs.
At The Injury Group, we understand how devastating a workplace injury can be — not just physically, but emotionally and financially too. Our Queens workers’ compensation lawyers have helped countless injured workers get the benefits and justice they deserve. If you’ve been hurt at work or developed an illness because of your job, you have rights — and we’re here to protect them.
What Is Workers’ Compensation and Why It Matters
Workers’ compensation is a type of insurance that provides benefits to employees who are injured or become sick due to their job. It’s meant to protect both workers and employers — giving you access to medical care and wage replacement while preventing endless lawsuits.
If you’re injured on the job, workers’ comp benefits can cover:
Medical treatment and rehabilitation
Lost wages while you recover
Compensation for permanent disability
Death benefits for families who’ve lost a loved one in a workplace accident
But here’s the truth — getting the benefits you’re owed isn’t always easy. Employers and insurance companies sometimes delay or deny valid claims, leaving injured workers feeling helpless. That’s where we come in. Our Queens work injury attorneys step in to make sure you’re treated fairly and receive every benefit you’re entitled to under New York law.

What Causes Workplace Accidents?
Workplace injuries often result from negligence, unsafe conditions, or simply not having the right protection or training. Some of the most common causes include:
Slips, trips, and falls — wet floors, cluttered walkways, or uneven surfaces
Falling objects — items dropped from above or unsecured equipment
Overexertion — lifting heavy loads, repetitive motions, or working long hours
Machinery or equipment failure — broken tools or unsafe machines
Electrical accidents — shock, burns, or electrocution
Vehicle-related injuries — accidents involving trucks, forklifts, or work vehicles
Exposure to harmful substances — chemicals, asbestos, or toxic fumes
Workplace violence — physical assaults or emotional trauma
These accidents don’t just cause physical pain — they can leave lasting scars, stress, and uncertainty. You may feel guilty for not being able to work or worry about how long recovery will take. That’s why our mission at The Injury Group is to not only fight for your compensation but also restore your peace of mind.
Do You Qualify for Workers’ Compensation in Queens, NY?
If you’ve been hurt on the job in New York, you likely qualify for workers’ compensation benefits — but there are deadlines and rules to follow.
Here’s what you should know:
Report your injury right away. You must notify your employer within 30 days of your accident or when you discover a work-related illness.
Seek medical attention immediately. Your health and your case depend on it.
File your workers’ compensation claim. In New York, you have up to 2 years to file a claim for an injury or illness related to your job.
If you miss these deadlines, your benefits could be denied — even if your claim is valid. Don’t wait. The sooner you act, the stronger your case will be.
And if workers’ compensation doesn’t cover everything — for example, if a third party (like a subcontractor or equipment manufacturer) contributed to your accident — you may also be able to file a personal injury lawsuit. Our attorneys will review every angle of your case to make sure no opportunity for compensation is missed.
Protect Yourself — Don’t Talk to Insurance Companies Alone
Insurance companies may act friendly, but their goal is to pay as little as possible. They might record your statements, twist your words, or pressure you to accept a low settlement.
Never discuss your case with your employer’s insurance company or lawyers without speaking to your attorney first. Even small comments like “I’m fine” or “It was partly my fault” can be used against you later.
Our workers’ comp lawyers in Queens act as your shield — handling all communication, gathering evidence, and building the strongest case possible while you focus on healing.
