Many undocumented workers would never think of pursuing workers’ compensation benefits after being injured in an on-the-job accident.
No one wants to draw unnecessary governmental attention to himself or herself when immigration status questions exist.
But, the fact of the matter is in New York, undocumented workers can receive workers’ compensation benefits for injuries in New York.
Undocumented workers rights after an injury
Our firm can help you understand your rights under the workers’ compensation system, as well as any additional compensation that may be available through what is known as a third-party claim.
Compensation from a third-party claim is available when your injuries have been caused by some other party such as a subcontractor.
That other party who caused the accident is referred to as a third party. An injured worker can pursue personal injury compensation from that third party while still collecting workers’ compensation benefits from his or her employer.
Third-party claims can provide an extra level of financial security to an injured worker and his or her family who may be struggling to make ends meet on the lost wage benefits available through the workers’ compensation system.
