The work injury lawyers in NYC at Queller, Fisher, Washor, Fuchs & Kool and The Law Office Of William A. Gallina, LLP protect injured workers regardless of their status. When undocumented workers are injured, they are often too afraid to report their injuries. However, your immigration status does not affect your eligibility to be compensated. You can file a lawsuit and collect compensation for pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, lost earnings, medical benefits and any other damages that an American-born citizen might claim, even if you did not file taxes, were paid off the books in cash or do not have legal residency status in the United States.
Our work injury lawyers understand that you may be worried about being reported to U.S. immigration, but it is unethical for the opposition to threaten you with immigration matters. Bringing a lawsuit on behalf of an undocumented worker or illegal immigrant has never had any adverse effect on the residency status of any of our clients. If you are an undocumented worker who has been injured on-the-job, do not hesitate to contact our New York work injury lawyers to pursue the compensation you deserve.

Does My Citizenship Status Affect My Ability To File A Work Injury Lawsuit?
No. Your immigration status does not prevent you from filing a lawsuit. Undocumented workers are also able to file for workers’ compensation if they are injured on-the-job. This includes workers who are injured in:
- Construction Accidents
- Car Accidents
- Pedestrian Accidents
- Premises Liability Accidents
- Slip And Fall Accidents
All work accidents can cause catastrophic injuries, as well as wrongful death. Our work injury lawyers know how to get the money and benefits you need to pay for medical bills and support your family. We have Spanish-speaking attorneys in our office to assist you.
