1. Purpose of This Disclaimer
ClaimFile NY (published at workclaimclarity.com) was built to help injured workers in New York understand the paperwork, deadlines, and forms involved in filing a workers’ compensation claim, in plain language. Because this subject matter touches directly on legal process, this Disclaimer exists to make absolutely clear what the Site is — and, just as importantly, what it is not. It should be read alongside our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, which govern related aspects of your use of the Site.
1.1 Who Operates This Site
ClaimFile NY is an independently operated publisher of educational content. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board, any insurance carrier, any employer, or any government agency, unless a specific page expressly states otherwise.
2. No Professional Legal Advice
The content published on this Site is general and educational in nature. It is not, and is not intended to be, legal advice.
2.1 Not a Law Firm
ClaimFile NY does not operate as a law firm, does not provide representation before the Workers’ Compensation Board or any court, and does not review, evaluate, or opine on the merits of any individual’s claim. Any resemblance between our general guidance and the specific facts of your situation is coincidental; workers’ compensation outcomes depend heavily on facts, timing, medical evidence, and procedural history that we have no way of knowing when we publish general content.
2.2 No Reliance
You should not act, or decline to act, on the basis of anything you read on this Site without first seeking guidance from a licensed New York attorney, the Workers’ Compensation Board, or another qualified professional familiar with the particulars of your case. Deadlines and procedural requirements in workers’ compensation matters can be strict and unforgiving, and only a professional reviewing your actual file can tell you how those requirements apply to you.
2.3 No Attorney-Client Relationship or Privilege
Browsing the Site, submitting a contact form, or exchanging email with anyone associated with ClaimFile NY does not form an attorney-client relationship of any kind. Nothing you send us is protected by attorney-client privilege, and we ask that you not include sensitive or confidential case details in any message to us beyond what is necessary for us to respond helpfully.
3. Accuracy of Content & “As-Is” Basis
We work to keep our guides accurate and current, but we make no guarantee that they are complete, error-free, or fully up to date.
3.1 No Warranties
All content is provided on an “as-is” basis, without any warranty of accuracy, completeness, reliability, or fitness for a particular purpose, whether express or implied.
3.2 New York Rules Are Subject to Change
New York’s workers’ compensation statutes, regulations, forms, and Board procedures are amended from time to time, sometimes with little public notice. A form number, filing address, deadline, or procedural step described on this Site may become outdated after publication. You should always confirm current requirements directly with the Workers’ Compensation Board or a licensed attorney before relying on any specific procedural detail.
3.3 Fact-Specific Nature of Claims
Because every claim turns on its own unique combination of facts, medical records, employment history, and procedural posture, general educational content — however carefully written — cannot account for the particular circumstances of any individual reader’s case.
4. Third-Party Matching & Referral Disclaimer
From time to time, this Site may offer readers the option to be connected with an independent attorney or claims-assistance provider.
4.1 Independence of Referred Providers
Any attorney or provider you are connected with through this Site operates independently of ClaimFile NY. We do not employ, supervise, or control any such provider, and we make no representation as to the quality, outcome, or suitability of the services they offer.
4.2 No Endorsement
Facilitating a connection to a third-party provider does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or guarantee of that provider by ClaimFile NY. You are responsible for conducting your own due diligence before engaging any professional.
4.3 Engagement Is Between You and the Third Party
Any professional engagement, fee arrangement, or representation that results from such a referral is a matter strictly between you and the third-party provider, governed by whatever agreement you enter into with them. ClaimFile NY is not a party to that relationship and bears no responsibility for its terms or outcome.
5. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, ClaimFile NY and its owners, operators, and contributors disclaim all liability for any loss, damage, denied benefit, missed deadline, or other adverse outcome arising from your use of, or reliance upon, the content of this Site, or from any interaction with a third party to whom you were referred through the Site. This Disclaimer, together with our Terms of Use, represents the full extent of our position on liability, and use of the Site constitutes acceptance of that position.
