This Disclaimer applies to every page of compclaimhelper.com. Please read it before relying on anything you find here about disputing an IME finding, appealing a treatment denial, or preparing for a workers’ compensation hearing in New York. Comp Claim Helper exists to explain how the process generally works from the injured worker’s side of the table — not to replace the judgment of a licensed professional who has actually reviewed your file.
1. No Professional Legal Advice
Comp Claim Helper is not a law firm, and none of our writers or editors are acting as your attorney when they publish an article.
- (a) Not a substitute for counsel. Our content explains how carrier tactics, IME challenges, and hearing procedures typically play out — it does not evaluate the specific facts of your claim.
- (b) No reliance without verification. Do not act, or decline to act, solely because of something you read on this Site. Confirm any strategy with a licensed New York attorney or your Workers’ Compensation Board before you rely on it.
- (c) No attorney-client relationship or privilege. Emailing us, commenting on an article, or submitting a contact form does not form an attorney-client relationship and does not make anything you send us privileged or confidential in a legal sense.
- (d) Every state is different. Even where we compare New York procedure to what happens elsewhere, workers’ compensation rules vary widely by state, and content aimed at New York claims may not apply if your injury falls under a different jurisdiction.
2. Accuracy and “As-Is” Content
We work to keep our guides current, but we make no warranty — express or implied — about the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of anything published on the Site.
- (a) New York rules change. Workers’ Compensation Board regulations, forms, deadlines, and carrier procedures are updated periodically; an article written months ago may describe a process that has since changed.
- (b) Every claim is fact-specific. Two claims that look similar on paper can resolve very differently depending on medical evidence, employer history, carrier behavior, and the judge assigned to the case.
- (c) Provided “as is.” All content is offered “as is” and “as available,” without any guarantee that following it will change the outcome of your claim.
3. Third-Party Matching and Referral Disclaimer
Some pages let you request contact from an independent attorney or claims advocate.
- (a) Independent professionals. Any attorney or advocate you are connected with operates independently of Comp Claim Helper and is solely responsible for the advice and service they provide.
- (b) No endorsement implied. Appearing in a referral does not mean we have verified that professional’s credentials, results, or fit for your case — do your own diligence before hiring anyone.
- (c) Engagement is between you and them. Any fee agreement, representation, or advice you receive is a matter strictly between you and the third-party professional, not Comp Claim Helper.
4. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Comp Claim Helper and its owners, writers, and affiliates disclaim liability for any loss, damage, missed deadline, denied benefit, or other harm connected to your use of this Site or your reliance on its content, whether that claim is based on contract, negligence, or any other legal theory. This includes situations where you delayed hiring an attorney, missed a hearing deadline, or accepted a settlement based in part on something you read here. Your use of the Site is at your own risk, and the burden remains on you to verify anything important with a qualified professional before you act on it.
