SLU permanency checking, fee app equation generators, the Pro Attorney Workspace, multi-attorney firm access, Salesforce/Litify integration, and our neutral attorney referral network — everything practicing WC attorneys need to run faster, sharper, and more profitable cases.
The Comp Desk started where the need was most obvious — in the hearing room. AWW calculations done on scrap paper, SLU percentages pulled from memory, fee application equations scribbled by hand. We built the calculators that the room was missing, and attorneys started using them every day.
But a calculator was never the finish line. When you're injured at work, the confusion doesn't start at the hearing — it starts the moment you get hurt. What do I file? Where do I go for treatment? What's an IME, and how do I prepare? What am I actually entitled to? The system is complicated, and nobody hands you a guidebook.
That's why we built Comp Buddy — a free companion that walks with you from the moment of injury through treatment, hearings, and settlement. Find a Doctor connects you with WCB-authorized providers. IME Reminders make sure you never miss an appointment. The learning portal explains your rights in plain language. And our attorney network connects you with experienced WC attorneys who can fight for you.
The mission is making sure every injured worker in New York State has the information, the tools, and the support they deserve — without paying a dime.
Know your comp. Fight for your rights.
