Work Place Assaults

October 13, 2010 By Paul Giannetti

Under the New York State Workers’ Compensation Law, a worker assaulted by a co-worker may be covered if the altercation resulted from work place differences as opposed to personal issues.

Whether or not the source of the dispute and ultimate assault is sufficiently work connected is a question of fact for a Workers’ Compensation Law Judge to determine. A purely personal, non-work related dispute which results in an assault may not be covered.

If you have questions whether or not any type of work related injury or condition is covered under the Workers’ Compensation Law, feel free to contact our office for a free consultation.
