Injured Manhattan Mailman Successfully Secures a $200,000 Workers’ Compensation Settlement | March 2026

McIntyre, Donohue, Accardi, Salmonson & Riordan, LLP is proud to announce that we have successfully secured a $200,000 Workers’ Compensation settlement for a Manhattan mail carrier. This significant recovery comes after our client suffered serious, life-altering injuries while performing his essential duties for the Manhattan community.

Our client was employed as a mailman responsible for delivering newspapers throughout Manhattan. While making deliveries on the side of a city street, he stepped onto a pile of unsecured steel plates, causing him to slip, injuring his right foot and ankle.

The injury was severe enough to require surgery on his right foot, followed by extensive medical treatment and recovery time. The sudden and unexpected nature of the incident left him in immediate pain and unable to continue working.

Like many injured workers, he faced financial stress while trying to recover physically, which is one of the main reasons Workers’ Compensation benefits exist, including coverage for medical expenses and lost wages.

Through aggressive representation and meticulous case preparation, our legal team demonstrated the full extent of the client’s disability and the necessity of his future care, securing a $200,000 settlement on behalf of our client. This settlement provided compensation for lost wages during his time out of work, medical treatment, and the long-term impact of his foot and ankle injuries.

With over 70 years of experience, McIntyre, Donohue, Accardi, Salmonson & Riordan, LLP is dedicated to protecting the rights of injured workers throughout New York State.
