Understand Your Legal Rights So You Can Protect Them

For most of the public, the complexities of workers’ compensation law are not fully known or understood. For many workers who are either working illegally to getting paid “under the table,” they may be operating on the misconception that they have to forfeit their right to recover compensation following a workplace injury or illness. Worse, these injured workers may be subjected to severe pressure to keep quiet and not make a claim. This often stems from employers who are more concerned with their own welfare than that of their hurt worker. Don’t let this happen to you! With our help, you can file a claim with New York workers’ comp law and fight for the financial compensation that you deserve, no matter what your employment status may be.

Do not be taken advantage of by an unscrupulous employer who just wants cheap labor. You can still file a claim if you were working illegally or in the country without a visa. We can help.
