PROTECT INJUREDWORKERS IN NEW YORK
![](/assets/site/pexels-chevanon-photography-1108101.jpg)
Today the New York workers’ compensation system is broken.
Working New Yorkers do NOT have strong protections when injured on the job.
- Injured workers are not guaranteed a hearing from the New York Workers’ Compensation Board
- Most injured workers do not receive 2/3 of their weekly wage until they are able to return to work
- To prove hardship, injured workers must be below the poverty level
- Injured workers who collect Social Security Disability Insurance are not presumed to be Permanently Totally Disabled in NY’s Workers’ Compensation System
