Work Injury Cases We Handle

We know the impact a severe work accident can have on clients and their families. When you need help from an attorney, talk with a law firm that has spent years working with people just like you. Our team at The Perecman Firm is here to fight for you.

Construction Accidents

If you were hurt in a construction accident, you may be able to bring a lawsuit against the owner, general contractor, and other contractors or companies under the NY Labor Law. While not all construction accidents will allow injured workers to bring a lawsuit, it is very important that you consult a New York City construction accident attorney to find out whether you can take additional legal action.

Work-Related Auto Accidents

Employees who suffer injuries in on-the-job car crashes may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits regardless of who was at fault for the accident. If someone else was to blame, the injured worker could also collect compensation from the at-fault driver’s liability insurance. The workplace accident lawyers at The Perecman Firm look at cases from every angle to seek out all available sources of coverage for injured workers.

Cable Installation Accidents

Installing cable at residences and businesses can prove hazardous, especially when unreasonably dangerous conditions are present on the property. Workers injured while installing cable may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. A premises liability claim could be another option if the property owner or occupant were negligent.

Repair Accidents

Workers who make repairs to equipment, buildings, vehicles, and other machinery face significant risks of injuries if something goes wrong during the process. The workplace injury lawyers at The Perecman Firm are committed to pursuing every potential avenue of recovery on behalf of people hurt in repair accidents.

Workers’ Compensation

Being injured at work can leave you with extensive medical bills and a reduced ability to work, if at all. New York has laws to make sure you are able to pay these bills, recover lost wages, and obtain disability benefits. However, many employers and insurance companies still fail to offer these necessary benefits. If you were injured at work, turn to The Perecman Firm for help.

Social Security Disability

Many hardworking individuals sustain injuries every day that can prevent them from performing their job duties for an extended period. These individuals may qualify for Social Security Disability Benefits in addition to compensation through a work injury claim. The Perecman Firm can handle all aspects of workplace accident cases. Our lawyers have been fighting for workers’ rights and securing their futures for decades.

What Our Clients Have to Say

“I am a union construction worker injured on the erection of a high-rise building in Manhattan back in 2016. After the accident, I knew I was going to need legal representation. I found The Perecman Firm online and learned that they handle both Workers' Comp and 3rd Party cases in-house which I liked. I decided to send a message thru the live chat on their website. I explained the details of my situation, and the first thing the following morning I received a call from Zach Perecman. I was treated like family. I knew I had someone who wanted to fight for me and get me thru the tough times ahead, and that is exactly what they did. They made sure I was paid my workers' comp checks on time. All of my doctor appointments were taken care of. My surgery, therapy, medications, everything was perfect! I can honestly say we didn’t run into one problem (at least that I know about) not to mention the results of my case. They are an amazing team over at The Perecman Firm.”

- Pat R.

“My name is Jose. I was a carpenter working at the One Trade Center when the brace I secured myself with fell apart, causing me to fall 14 feet to a plywood floor, injuring my lower back, fracturing my left foot and hitting my head causing me a mild TBI. David Perecman took my case and was there every step of the way. Whenever I had a question about my case, he was there to answer it. He made a difference for me and my family I really recommend The Perecman Firm to anyone. He did a great job on my accident case; he’ll do the same for you.”

Jose J. | Bronx, NY 

“David Perecman and his team are the best lawyers in New York. They possess integrity and professionalism beyond compare. When I chose The Perecman Firm for my legal needs, it turned out to be one of the best decisions I had ever made. Mr. Perecman and his whole staff, including Adam Hurwitz and Mariusz Sniarowski were terrific! They kept me informed every step of the way. I highly recommend The Perecman Firm for your legal needs. WHEN YOU WANT THE JOB DONE, PERECMAN’S THE ONE!”
