Don't Face the Workers' Comp System Alone

Navigating the workers' compensation system can be overwhelming — especially when you're dealing with a serious injury, mounting medical bills, and pressure from your employer to return to work before you're ready. Fortunately, New York State has one of the most employee-friendly workers' compensation systems in the country.

At The Law Office of Luke Brown, LLC, I have seen too many injured workers struggle to get the medical care they need and the wage benefits they deserve. Whether you work in construction, manufacturing, healthcare, or any other industry, if you were hurt on the job, you have rights — and I am dedicated to protecting them.

Luke A. Brown is a proud member of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association and the American Association for Justice, and works of counsel with Creighton, Johnsen & Giroux — a distinguished labor law firm — bringing deep expertise in workers' rights to every case.

Workers who have an attorney typically receive significantly higher benefits than those who go it alone. Don't let an insurance company or your employer dictate your recovery. Call today for a free, no-obligation consultation.

What You're Entitled To

Workers' Comp Benefits in New York State

The New York State Workers' Compensation Board oversees claims for injured workers throughout the state. Here's what you may be entitled to if you were hurt on the job in Niagara County.

🏥
Medical Treatment

Full coverage for all reasonable and necessary medical care related to your workplace injury — doctor visits, surgery, physical therapy, prescriptions, and more.

💰
Lost Wage Benefits

Temporary disability payments of approximately two-thirds of your average weekly wage while you are unable to work due to your injury.

♿
Permanent Disability

If your injury results in permanent partial or total disability, you may be entitled to ongoing benefits based on the degree of impairment to your earning capacity.

🔧
Vocational Rehabilitation

If you cannot return to your prior job due to your injury, you may qualify for vocational rehabilitation services and retraining assistance.

⚖️
Third-Party Claims

If a party other than your employer caused your injury — a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner — you may have a separate personal injury lawsuit in addition to your workers' comp claim.

🛡️
Retaliation Protection

New York law prohibits employers from firing, demoting, or retaliating against workers for filing a workers' comp claim. If this has happened to you, we can help.

Why choose Luke Brown Law for workers compensation in Niagara County
Why Choose Us

Why Niagara County Workers Choose Luke Brown Law

Workers' compensation claims in New York involve detailed paperwork, strict deadlines, and adversarial insurance carriers. Having the right attorney from day one makes a measurable difference in your outcome.

New York's workers' compensation system has its own rules, forms, deadlines, and Board hearing procedures. Luke Brown has built his practice around representing injured workers in Western New York, giving him detailed knowledge of the New York State Workers' Compensation Board and what it takes to win claims in this region.
Luke serves of counsel to Creighton, Johnsen & Giroux, a distinguished labor law firm. This partnership means your workers' comp case benefits from deep institutional knowledge of labor law, union rights, and employment protections alongside the personal attention of a solo practitioner.
Luke comes from a family with deep roots in trade unionism — his grandfather and father were both Union Plasterers and Business Agents. That heritage gives him a genuine, personal understanding of the challenges working people face when injured on the job, and a real commitment to fighting for their rights.
Workers' comp is often just the starting point. Luke evaluates every case for additional third-party liability claims — against contractors, equipment manufacturers, property owners, or other negligent parties — that can dramatically increase your total recovery beyond what workers' comp alone provides.
Luke Brown Law handles workers' compensation cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront. Attorney fees in New York workers' comp cases are regulated and approved by the Workers' Compensation Board, so there are no hidden costs. Your consultation is always free.
As a lifelong Western New York resident, Luke knows the local courts, hearing officers, insurance adjusters, and medical professionals. You won't be passed off to a paralegal or a call center. Luke Brown handles your case personally from the first call through final resolution.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Injured workers in New York are generally entitled to full medical treatment coverage, temporary disability benefits of approximately two-thirds of your average weekly wage, permanent disability benefits for lasting impairment, and vocational rehabilitation if you cannot return to your prior job. New York's workers' compensation system is more employee-friendly than most states — but you need an attorney to make sure you receive everything you're owed.
You must report your injury to your employer within 30 days and file a claim with the New York State Workers' Compensation Board (Form C-3) within 2 years of the date of injury. For occupational diseases, the clock runs from when you knew or should have known the condition was work-related. Contact an attorney immediately — missed deadlines can permanently bar your claim.
No. It is illegal for an employer to retaliate against an employee for filing a workers' compensation claim in New York State. If you face termination, demotion, reduced hours, or other adverse action after filing a claim, you may have additional legal remedies. Contact Luke Brown Law to discuss your options.
A denial is not the end of your case. You have the right to appeal before the New York State Workers' Compensation Board. Luke Brown Law will file the necessary paperwork, gather medical evidence, and represent you at hearings. Many initially denied claims are successfully overturned with proper legal representation.
In most cases, workers' compensation is the exclusive remedy against your employer. However, if a third party — such as a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner — was responsible for your injury, you may be able to bring a separate personal injury lawsuit in addition to your workers' comp claim. Luke Brown evaluates both avenues to maximize your total recovery.
Luke Brown Law handles workers' compensation cases on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing upfront and no attorney's fees unless we successfully resolve your case. In New York, workers' comp attorney fees are regulated and approved by the Workers' Compensation Board, so there are no surprises. Your first consultation is always free.
