Wawarsing, NY Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

You should contact an experienced personal injury lawyer right away for an evaluation of your claim. You may have a claim depending on the facts of your case if your fall was less than two years ago. Most injury attorneys offer a free initial consultation and will take a qualified case on a contingency basis, which means you will not have to pay anything out of pocket unless you receive money for your claim.

Obviously, you need to find a new job. But, to succeed, you need to look exactly like you are not looking for a new job. Put in extra hours, or bring work home if you can without asking for overtime. Volunteer for additional projects. Kill them with kindness. Treat your boss as if he's the most wonderful guy you could ever hope to work for. Buy something for your office like a new coffee pot or dust-buster or something. Show up early with donuts for everyone. And, of course, perform your work with alacrity and all the skill you can muster. Convince everyone that this is the place you love to work. Meanwhile, you are looking for another job: get a PO Box, a second e-mail address that you only access with your personal laptop off-site. Save personal days, sick days, vacation days for interviews, etc. NEVER use an office phone to contact a potential new employer, only use your personal cell phone, and again, not at your employer's place of business. This will probably take some time; months perhaps, maybe a year or more. But meanwhile, take heart in the fact that you are taking control of the situation. Then when you get that new job, walk out of the old and into the new. If you are thinking of suing the boss or filing a complaint with the labor dept, forget it. You could do those things and win, but it won't be worth it. Living well is the best revenge. Good luck.
