Welcome to
the Home page of the Injured Workers' Bar Association, Inc. and thanks for
visiting us. This web site is intended to be a resource to existing members,
attorneys seeking to join the organization, and visitors by offering
information to injured workers in New York.
The Injured Workers' Bar Association is comprised of attorneys from
throughout New York State who concentrate their practice in representation of
injured workers. Many of our members practice exclusively in the area of
Workers' Compensation Law. Our members provide legal representation for tens of
thousands of injured workers every year. To become a member of the IWBA, an
attorney must show that 80% or more of their Workers' Compensation practice
consists of representing injured workers and not insurance carriers or
employers. Most members also help injured workers in personal injury cases and
Social Security Disability cases.
The IWBA is dedicated to the
representation of and advocacy on behalf of injured workers. Membership is not
open to attorneys that spend more than 20% of their practice in the
representation of insurance companies or employers.
The
IWBA provides members the opportunity to connect with attorneys that share
common interests and goals. The ability to participate in electronic discussion
and email groups devoted to issues related to the representation of the injured
worker enables you to communicate immediately with your peers on issues that
affect all of us.
We
would encourage you to join and add your name to the list of attorneys striving
to preserve and protect the rights of the injured worker.
Membership
dues are $200.00 per year per individual attorney. Firm membership is not
available.
IWBA members only may
access the Member Area. The Member Area includes a member profile, access to the IWBA Directory, event information, and groups. IWBA Members have access to a secure email list serv concerning general information and messages on
