for injured workers.
Five interactive tools built specifically for New York workers' comp claimants — to help you understand your case before you talk to anyone, including me. Built using the same Workers' Compensation Board methodology that judges and physicians actually use.
Case Evaluator
A quick eligibility check followed by an educational estimate of what your case could be worth, based on New York's Schedule Loss of Use framework. Useful before you've decided whether to even file.
Weekly Rate Calculator
Computes your weekly indemnity rate from AWW, disability classification, and date of accident — using the official statutory rate tables for every accident year back to 1992. Builds a period-by-period timeline and surfaces underpayments by comparing what's owed to what the carrier paid.
SLU Estimator
An interactive Range-of-Motion calculator using the same 2018 NY Impairment Guidelines methodology that physicians are required to use. Currently supports shoulder and knee, with multi-joint combination math.
Denial Analyzer
Identifies what kind of denial you're facing — late notice, causation, contractor classification, statute, intoxication — and tells you how beatable that type of denial typically is under New York law.
IME Red Flag Checker
A 12-question checklist that identifies the most common adversarial tactics in IME reports — premature MMI, "no objective findings" language, lowballed loss percentages, and missing record reviews.
These are educational tools, not legal advice. They use the actual frameworks the Workers' Compensation Board and its physicians use, but no calculator can substitute for a real case evaluation. Numbers produced are estimates based on the inputs you provide.
