New York Launches Injured Workers Legal Assistance Project to Assist with Comp Claims April 26, 2021
The New York State Workers’ Compensation Board has launched its first-ever legal assistance project to help injured workers obtain medical treatment, the Injured Workers Legal Assistance Project (IWLAP).
Now, injured workers can complete an online form maintained by the New York State Bar Association (NYSBA) to directly request a match to a NYSBA member attorney who will represent workers pro bono in certain workers’ compensation claims. The form, hosted by NYSBA along with resources and information for attorneys interested in volunteering with NYSBA, is available at the Workers’ Compensation Injured Workers Legal Assistance Pro Bono Project webpage.
