We Help New York Workers Who…

No two work injury cases look the same. Here's how we typically help.

Just Got Hurt

You're not sure what to do next. We'll walk you through your first steps and your rights, at no cost.

Had a Claim Denied or Delayed

The insurance company said no, or made you a low offer. We review denied and undervalued claims and fight to reverse them.

Facing Pressure From Your Employer

Your employer discouraged you from filing or threatened your job. New York law protects you from retaliation, and we can explain how.

Dealing With a Long-Term Injury

Weeks or months into treatment, wage payments, or a disability rating. We help you understand what you're owed and for how long.

What to Do After a Work Injury

These four steps can protect your health and your claim.

1

Get Medical Attention

Getting checked out creates a medical record connecting your injury to your job.

2

Report the Injury in Writing

New York law gives you 30 days to report a work injury to your employer.

3

Document What Happened

Take photos, get witness names, and keep copies of anything you sign.

4

Talk to a Lawyer First

What you tell an insurance adjuster can be used to reduce or deny your claim.

Critical Deadlines for New York Workers

Workers compensation claims in New York have strict time limits. Missing one can cost you your claim.

Work Injuries We Help You With

We represent workers with a wide range of on-the-job injuries and illnesses.

Industries We Help

These are some of the most common industries we work with, but workplace injuries happen in every profession. If you don't see your job listed, reach out, we likely can still help.

Social Security Disability

If your injury or illness prevents you from working long-term, you may also qualify for Social Security Disability benefits in addition to workers compensation. These are separate programs with separate rules, and we can help you understand how they interact.

Don't Fight the Insurance Company Alone

If you were hurt at work, the insurance company already has lawyers on their side. At Tomack Law, we talk to injured workers every day who feel overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next. We offer free consultations with no obligation. We'll listen to what happened, answer your questions in plain language, and explain your options. You pay nothing unless we win your case.

Filing a Claim by Yourself vs. Working With a Workers Comp' Lawyer

While it's possible to file a workers compensation claim on your own, handling the claim without experienced legal help increases the risk of mistakes, missed deadlines, and lower settlements. Here's what the difference typically looks like.

StageOn Your OwnWith Tomack Law
Filing your claimYou're responsible for filing correctly and on time, with no guidance if something's missingWe file on your behalf and make sure every deadline and form is handled correctly
Talking to the insurance adjusterYou negotiate directly with an adjuster whose goal is to minimize what you receiveWe communicate with the insurer for you, so you're not navigating it alone
If your claim is denied or delayedAppeals can be confusing, and it's easy to miss the filing windowWe handle appeals and know how to build a stronger case
Settlement valueWithout knowing typical settlement ranges, it's easy to accept less than you're owedWe know what comparable cases are worth and negotiate accordingly
Time and stressYou're managing legal complexity while trying to recoverWe manage the legal process so you can focus on healing
CostNo upfront legal fees, but you carry all the risk aloneNo upfront cost, and you pay nothing unless we win your case
