This Disclaimer applies to everything published on workinjuryanswers.com (the “Site”). Work Injury Answers was built to give people asking about New York workers’ compensation a fast, straightforward starting point — not to replace the judgment of a licensed professional. Please read this Disclaimer before relying on anything you find here.
1. No Professional Legal Advice
Work Injury Answers is not a law firm. We do not employ or retain attorneys to represent visitors, review claim files, or advocate on anyone’s behalf, and no one associated with the Site is acting as your lawyer by virtue of anything published here. Every article on the Site is written to explain, in general terms, how a rule or process typically works — it is not tailored legal counsel for your specific claim.
You should not rely on the Site as a substitute for individualized advice from a licensed New York workers’ compensation attorney. Contacting us, reading an article, or submitting a message through the Site does not create an attorney-client relationship, a confidential relationship, or any privileged communication. Nothing you send us is protected by attorney-client privilege, and we cannot act as your representative in a claim, hearing, or appeal.
2. Accuracy of Information & “As-Is” Status
We work to keep our explanations current and correct, but the Site is provided “as-is” and “as-available,” with no warranty of any kind — express, implied, or statutory — as to accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or fitness for a particular purpose. New York’s workers’ compensation statutes, regulations, filing deadlines, and Workers’ Compensation Board procedures are amended and reinterpreted over time, and an article accurate when published can become outdated without notice.
Just as importantly, workers’ compensation outcomes are driven by the specific facts of each claim — your employer, your injury, your medical treatment, your average weekly wage, and your procedural history all matter. General information that correctly describes the typical case may not apply to yours. Before acting or failing to act on a deadline, always confirm current requirements with the New York Workers’ Compensation Board or a licensed attorney.
3. Third-Party Matching & Referral Disclaimer
From time to time the Site may mention, link to, or connect a visitor with an independent attorney, law firm, or other professional service. Any such party is a separate, independent entity that we do not own, supervise, or control, and their inclusion on the Site is not an endorsement of their competence, ethics, or results. We do not vet outcomes, verify credentials beyond basic licensing checks, or guarantee that any referral will be a good fit for your situation.
If you choose to contact or retain a third party we’ve referenced, any resulting engagement, fee agreement, communication, or dispute is strictly between you and that third party. Work Injury Answers is not a party to that relationship and accepts no responsibility for the advice given, fees charged, or outcome obtained.
4. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Work Injury Answers and its owners, writers, and affiliates will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including lost benefits, missed deadlines, or lost opportunities — arising from your use of, or reliance on, the Site or any third party referenced by it. You use this Site, and any information found on it, entirely at your own risk. If your claim involves a real deadline or a disputed decision, treat that as urgent and speak with a licensed attorney promptly rather than relying solely on general content published here.
