A. Introduction
NY Work Claim publishes step-by-step guides intended to help New York workers understand, in general terms, how a workplace injury claim moves through the system. This Disclaimer explains the limits of that purpose. It applies to every page of nyworkclaim.com (the “Site”) and should be read together with our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. By using the Site, you accept the limitations described below.
B. No Professional Legal Advice
NY Work Claim is not a law firm and does not offer legal representation, case evaluation, or individualized legal advice through this Site. The people who research and write our guides are not acting as your attorney, and reading our content does not make you our client. Our articles describe how the New York workers’ compensation process generally works; they are not written with knowledge of your employer, your injury, your medical records, or the specific procedural history of your claim.
You should not rely on anything published here as a substitute for individualized advice from a New York-licensed attorney. No attorney-client relationship, and no attorney-client privilege, is created by your visit to the Site, your use of any form, or any email exchange with us. If your claim involves a contested issue, an approaching deadline, or a denial, we encourage you to consult a licensed attorney promptly rather than rely solely on general information.
C. Accuracy of Information; “As-Is” Basis
We aim to keep our guides current and factually sound, but we make no warranty, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any information on the Site. New York’s workers’ compensation statutes, regulations, forms, and Board procedures change over time, and a guide that was accurate when written may become outdated before we are able to revise it.
Workers’ compensation outcomes are also highly fact-specific. Two claims that look similar on the surface can resolve very differently depending on medical evidence, employer reporting, insurance carrier conduct, and procedural timing. General information cannot account for those variables. All content is therefore provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without any warranty that it will produce a particular result in your case, and you use it at your own risk.
D. Third-Party Matching and Referral Disclaimer
Where the Site offers to connect readers with an independent attorney or claims professional, that connection is made only if you request it. NY Work Claim is an independent publisher; we are not a law firm, we do not supervise the professionals we may refer you to, and we do not vouch for the outcome of any matter they handle.
A referral is not an endorsement of any particular attorney’s or firm’s competence, and it is not a guarantee that the professional will accept your case. Any engagement that follows a referral is a separate arrangement formed directly between you and that professional, on whatever terms they provide, and is governed by their own policies rather than by anything on this Site.
E. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, NY Work Claim and its owners, contributors, and affiliates are not liable for any loss, damage, missed filing deadline, denied benefit, or other harm that results from your reliance on the Site’s content, your use of a referral, or your inability to access the Site. This limitation covers direct, incidental, consequential, and special damages, regardless of the legal theory under which a claim is brought. Nothing in this Disclaimer is intended to limit liability where such limitation is not permitted by applicable law.
