Being injured on the job can happen to anyone. No one is immune from a workplace accident.

You can be a:

construction worker
nurse
teacher's aide
city employee
state employee
hospital employee
office worker
bus or truck driver
mechanic
laborer
tradesperson
union worker
or any other worker

Injuries from these events at work could be covered by a workers' compensation claim:

car accident
back injury
shoulder injury
knee injury
exposure to chemicals
fall from a ladder or a scaffold
falling tools
head injuries
lead poisoning
lifting a heavy box
machinery accident
slip and fall on company property
trip and fall
hand, neck, or foot injury
cardiac event
death at a worksite

The following types of injuries, caused by repeated movements on the job, could qualify for a workers' compensation claim:

carpal tunnel syndrome caused by repetitive motion of the hands, such as typing
back pain caused by repetitive lifting of heavy objects
pulmonary conditions

At Helbock, Nappa & Gallucci, LLP, we care about the work-related injuries you have suffered. Robert J. Helbock Jr. founded the Staten Island, New York, law firm in 1999, continuing the tradition of representing injured workers begun by his father, Robert J. Helbock Sr., who was a licensed workers' compensation claimants' representative. Workers' compensation lawyers Bob Helbock and Joseph A. Nappa will fight hard for you to ensure that you are fairly compensated for your workplace injury.

Workers trust us to fight for their just compensation. Doctors, former clients, and other lawyers refer their injured colleagues, coworkers, friends and clients to us. We are honored by that trust, and focus steadfastly on client results.

If you have been injured, contact us at (713) 273-9000. Call without delay after your accident.

The law requires the injured worker to give the employer a written report of the accident within 30 days of the accident. You therefore need to seek medical attention as soon as possible.

After you are injured, your employer may not be acting in your best interests. You will be dealing with insurance claim agents whose job is to minimize the company's responsibility for your injuries. Make sure you get all the compensation you deserve. You need a skilled workers' compensation attorney who will advocate with undivided loyalty on your behalf alone.

You may be entitled to damages beyond workers' comp benefits. If a third party was responsible for your injuries — for instance, a subcontractor at your workplace, or the manufacturer of a faulty product — we may bring a third-party lawsuit to recover damages on your behalf.
