Helping Injured Workers Recover From Their Injuries
After a serious construction or railroad accident, it is important to hire an attorney who has your best interests in mind — a lawyer who will stand up and help you through one of the most challenging times in your life.
At The Ballow Law Firm, we are here to seek justice for you. For information about collecting monetary damages after suffering a construction or railroad injury, contact us at our Buffalo, New York, office.
Handling Construction Accident Claims for Injured Workers
Even though construction workers understand the dangers of their profession, they should not have to face unreasonably unsafe conditions because of negligence, a violation of the Health and Safety Provision of New York's Labor Law, a violation of Section 240 under the state's Labor Law, or any other careless conduct.
A construction accident can give rise to both a workers' compensation claim and a third party personal injury lawsuit — a workers' compensation claim against your employer for an on-the-job injury, and a third party claim for an injury caused by a party other than your employer. Our firm is capable of handling both types of claims for injured workers.
Representing Railroad Accident Victims in New York, Ohio and Michigan
Over a hundred years ago, the United States government enacted the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) to provide injured railroad workers a remedy to obtain monetary compensation following a railroad accident. Under the FELA, railroad workers may receive compensation for past and future lost wages, out-of-pocket medical expenses and reduced earning capacity because of an on-the-job injury.
These are unique lawsuits — different from a personal injury or workers' compensation claim — requiring the representation of a skilled litigator. Our firm helps injured railroad workers throughout Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania and Michigan, including workers for the following railroads:
- CSX Transportation
- Grand Trunk Western Railroad
- Canadian National Railroad
- Metro North Railroad
- Amtrak
