If you work in construction, you likely use ladders frequently. While ladders are undoubtedly convenient, inappropriate and unsafe use of ladders can lead to construction accidents, resulting in life-changing injuries. If you’re injured in a Ladder accident, you may be confused about your legal rights. Let’s discuss the legal options available to help you get compensation for your injuries.
Your employer has a duty to ensure all the ladders are safe and well-maintained. If you’re injured in a ladder accident, your employer’s workers’ comp insurer should generally cover your medical bills and lost wages regardless of whether you are a full-time or part-time worker. To qualify for workers’ compensation benefits, you’ll need to notify your employer about your injuries and file a claim within the given time limit.
In New York, injured employees are required to notify their employer within 30 days. You’ll have two years from the date of your accident or injuries diagnosis to file your worker’s comp claim.
