Protecting New York Businesses During Workers’ Compensation Disputes 

When a worker claims to be an employee and files a workers’ compensation claim, your business could face fines, increased insurance costs, financial exposure, and administrative challenges. At Suri Law, we represent service recipients and employers throughout Queens, Long Island, and the greater New York City area in all aspects of workers’ compensation hearings.

We provide skilled, strategic representation designed to protect your business interests and ensure compliance with New York State laws and regulations.

Representation for New York Employers

Workers’ compensation disputes can quickly escalate into costly hearings before the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB). Employers must be proactive in protecting their interests, and that starts with experienced legal counsel.

At Suri Law, we understand the challenges employers face when defending claims. We work closely with business owners to present strong evidence, mitigate liability, and try to achieve fair outcomes.
