Hearings & Appeals

New York Workers' Compensation Lawyer

When there is a dispute about a New York workers' compensation claim, the Workers' Compensation Board may hold a hearing to resolve the matter. At a hearing, a Workers' Compensation Law Judge will review evidence and hear testimony regarding the situation and will then make a ruling in regard to the benefits that the injured worker may be entitled to receive. The judge will determine the amount and duration of workers' compensation benefits. After a hearing, either party has the right to file an appeal within 30 days of the ruling. If an application for an appeal is approved, three Board Members will review the case and affirm, modify or overrule the initial judge's decision.
