Voluntary Removal & Your Benefits

New York workers' compensation law requires the injured worker with a partial disability to actively search for work within his restrictions. Failure to do so may result in a finding of voluntary removal from the labor market. In general, this means that if you are partially disabled, you bear a responsibility to actively seek work that you are physically capable of doing.

In many cases, however, insurance carriers will claim an injured worker is able to perform job duties that, in reality, he or she is not able to perform.

Our experienced workers' compensation lawyers understand the tactics used by employers and their insurance providers, and we are prepared to counter them. We can demonstrate to the court the true extent of your disability and how it impacts your potential in the labor market.
