You have two years to file a comp claim, starting on the date of your injury or on the date your disability began. Some injuries are not the result of a trauma or accident but occur over time. These types of injuries are generally known as "occupational or repetitive stress" injuries.

In these cases, a claimant has two years to file a comp claim from the date they became, or should reasonably have become, aware that their condition(s) was related to some aspect of their work.

Workers' Compensation Law Judges are hearing officers employed by New York State that make legal rulings on all aspects of your comp claim and they also render decisions which may, or may not, favor you. Having an attorney who is experienced in workers' comp is a critical component in protecting your interests and entitlement to benefits.

New York Social Security Disability (SSD) Insurance pays monthly cash benefits to people who have paid enough FICA taxes to qualify, and are now unable to work for a year or more because of a disability. After a waiting period, SSD eligibility also allows you to receive Medicare benefits - even if you are under age 65.
