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.
Get Medical Attention
Getting checked out creates a medical record connecting your injury to your job.
Report the Injury in Writing
New York law gives you 30 days to report a work injury to your employer.
Document What Happened
Take photos, get witness names, and keep copies of anything you sign.
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.
| Deadline | Time Limit |
|---|---|
| Report injury to employer | 30 days |
| File workers compensation claim | 2 years |
| Appeal a denied claim | 30 days after the decision |
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.
| Stage | On Your Own | With Tomack Law |
|---|---|---|
| Filing your claim | You're responsible for filing correctly and on time, with no guidance if something's missing | We file on your behalf and make sure every deadline and form is handled correctly |
| Talking to the insurance adjuster | You negotiate directly with an adjuster whose goal is to minimize what you receive | We communicate with the insurer for you, so you're not navigating it alone |
| If your claim is denied or delayed | Appeals can be confusing, and it's easy to miss the filing window | We handle appeals and know how to build a stronger case |
| Settlement value | Without knowing typical settlement ranges, it's easy to accept less than you're owed | We know what comparable cases are worth and negotiate accordingly |
| Time and stress | You're managing legal complexity while trying to recover | We manage the legal process so you can focus on healing |
| Cost | No upfront legal fees, but you carry all the risk alone | No upfront cost, and you pay nothing unless we win your case |
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
