Manhattan Workers' Compensation Defense Lawyers
The increasing sophistication of computer models and research software has made it easier for the Workers' Compensation Board to examine the records of companies that have had professional contact with someone from New York state. With more and more companies "borrowing" or "lending" employees, or relying on outside resources such as consultants, it is possible for businesses to raise red flags in the computer system.
At the Robert A. Koenigsberg Law Offices, our attorneys have more than 15 years of experience helping clients across the country who might have received a fine from the New York State Workers' Compensation Board.
The World Has Changed
Several types of businesses rely on out-of-state employees, including:
- Consultants
- Temporary employees
- Nannies
- Au pairs
- Tech support
- IT companies
Many times, these employees are technically working in a different state than their business of employ. The Workers' Compensation Board's computers pick up on these inconsistencies and immediately send a fine to the company in question.
There is no fair legal mechanism for handling these fines, unfortunately. Each situation is different, and must be handled differently. There is no standard adjudicatory process. The process is set by the Workers' Compensation Board itself. There is no judge to appear in front of. These fines and penalties are all being handled through paperwork. What do you do?

Increased enforcement techniques, computer models and the advent of collection agencies make workers' compensation fines a complicated and murky area for many business owners. They might be unaware that an infraction has occurred. It is the job of an experienced attorney to investigate the situation, and negotiate with the Workers' Compensation Board to reach a resolution that is satisfactory to all parties.
