Legal Question in Workers Comp in New York
hurt on the job
I had been asked to perform the task of gathering carts by a manager, although it was not in my job duties i performed the task because we had been told cashiers now gathered them. while i was doing so i had one of the top pieces fall a injure my wrist. i was wondering if there was anything i could do because i am having a hard time with this situation. so i guess the question i am asking is what if anything, can i do if i was injured while performing someone elses job task?
