handle a variety of workers' compensation
cases in the New York area. Besides
managing claims that cover factory and office
injuries, the legal staff at Katz, Leidman,
Grossman, Wolfe & Freund assist clients who
have been injured in auto-related accidents
that occurred on the job.

3.  According to statistics compiled by the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, auto
accidents continue to be the major cause of
fatalities that occur on the job. Over a seven-year
span (from 2003 to 2010), more than 1,200
employees per year lost their lives in highway
mishaps.
Workers involved in crashes on their work
premises or off the freeway numbered just over
300 annually. In addition, almost 340 workers
have died each year from being hit by a car or
truck.

4.  The risk of becoming the victim of a work-
related car crash is not confined to one field or
industry. While truck drivers and bus drivers
must follow comprehensive safety guidelines,
workers in other fields are not as cognizant of
the risks.
Calculations show that an injury that results in
the filing of a claim can cost an employer almost
$75,000 in liability expenses for non-fatal
injuries and $500,000 for fatal accidents.
