HOW TO AVOID A SMALL BUSINESS PENALTY FOR WORKERS’ COMPENSATION

Small business owners in New York know all-too-well the pressures of trying to earn a profit in one of America’s most competitive states. You don’t need the stress of receiving a Notice of Penalty or a Judgment Lien from New York Supreme court because you did not have a workers’ compensation policy.

Small business owners with workers’ compensation penalties don’t deliberately fail to have a workers’ compensation insurance policy–the many employers and businessmen and women I have fought for have been honest, hard-working people who never realized they were supposed to have workers’ compensation insurance.

I don’t believe you should be penalized for a good-faith error. And I don’t believe that the Workers’ Compensation Board should hit you with a penalty that is so high it threatens to put you out of business.

That is why I offer free consultations to any New York employer or business owner who has recieved a workers’ compensation penalty. It’s very important to me that you know your rights. And it’s very important to me that I continue fighting against–and winning–excessive and unfair employer penalties.
