Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York

Re: I had to have my right ring finger amputated due an injury at work

You have a more important question that you need answered. That is, can you sue anyone else responsible for your injury. Namely, the manufacturer or designer of whatever instrumentality caused you to lose your finger, if that is the case. I need more information. If you like you can call my lawfirm for a free consultation at 1(800)WE-FIGHT.

Ask your lawyer. if you do not have one, i can recommend. WC pays the lawyer, not you.

Re: I had to have my right ring finger amputated due an injury at work

You should have this matter reviewed by a qualified lawyer. Even though worker's comp prohibits suing the employer for injuries in Tort (negligence) and provides a remedy in worker's compensation, frequently serious work related injuries give rise to lawsuits against third parties for negigence or for products liability. If you are anywhere near Long Island, and you email me I'll send you a referral to have this checked out. Otherwise you should simply go to a Worker's comp lawyer. It will cost you nothing to be represented.
