Law Office of Robert Koenigsberg
Workers' Compensation Consulting Services for New York Employers
When the New York State Legislature passed the workers' compensation reform bill in March of 2007, they revamped a large bureaucratic system that had remained essentially unchanged for the better part of a century. They also created a lot of confusion and uncertainty in the process.
If you are an employer and have questions about how the new workers' compensation system affects you, our attorneys have answers and can provide the knowledgeable guidance you need to protect both your business and your personal assets. Contact us.
At the Law Office of Robert Koenigsberg, we provide guidance and representation to employers throughout New York City and its surrounding areas with workers' compensation issues of all types.
Because our practice has been focused on protecting injured workers' rights for more than a decade, we are able to offer employers unique insights into the workers' compensation system and the requirements that it imposes on them. Under the new law, many things have not changed. You still report a workplace injury or accident in much the same way as you did before.
However, businesses that fail to comply with certain provisions in the law can, and have been, shut down by the state. There are also stiff penalties and fines in place for underreporting. If you are a smaller employer and do not have workers' compensation insurance for your employees, an injured worker can seek to obtain benefits for lost income, qualified medical expense and permanent disabilities from you — personally. If you have concerns in any of these areas, it is better to talk with a lawyer sooner rather than later.
