Undocumented Workers in New York

New York Construction Accident Lawyer

There are many undocumented workers in New York that work diligently for their employers and produce the many goods and services that are needed. Unfortunately, many of them cannot get work visas or obtain permanent residency due to financial or legal reasons. They sadly are forced to work here illegally. Nevertheless, they also suffer injuries at times in jobsite or construction accidents and are entitled to personal injury compensation as any other worker in the U.S. would be. By consulting with a New York construction accident attorney from Lurie, Ilchert, MacDonnel & Ryan LLP, we can help you or a loved one who has been injured and protect their right to compensation.

While many workers who are not here legally might be afraid to file a claim, they are still protected by U.S. laws in this regard and can safely retain an attorney. Our firm has represented many cases for those working here without a work permit. No client of ours has ever been deported or arrested due to being represented by our firm for their personal injury claim. We even offer our clients interpreters and can provide them with someone who will speak to them in a language they can feel comfortable with.
