Terms of Use

These terms govern use of Work Injury Specialists and the editorial content published here. By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, don’t use the site. The terms are straightforward and designed to make the nature of our publication clear to everyone who reads it.

Not legal advice. Not a law firm.

Nothing on this site is legal advice. Work Injury Specialists is an editorial project, not a law firm. Our articles, guides, FAQs, and reference material are produced to help readers understand the workers compensation, personal injury, and workplace safety legal systems — not to provide case-specific counsel. We don’t represent clients, accept retainers, or file documents on anyone’s behalf.

Reading our content, emailing our editors, or otherwise interacting with the site does not create an attorney-client relationship with anyone. It does not create a confidential relationship, does not generate any legal duty to you, and does not give rise to representation. If you have a legal matter, hire an attorney licensed in your state.

Use of content

You are welcome to read our content for personal use, to share articles with people who might benefit from them, and to quote brief passages with attribution. For longer reproductions, reprint permissions, or syndication, email the editorial team. We’re generally receptive to reasonable reuse requests from organizations whose work aligns with our editorial mission.

Automated scraping of the site at high volume, bulk copying of content for republication without permission, or use of our content to train commercial AI models without consent is not permitted. These activities are governed by both these terms and by applicable copyright law.

Accuracy and updates

We invest substantial effort in accuracy. Articles are reviewed against current statutes and recent case law, and corrections are applied within 48 hours of verified errors. Despite this, law changes constantly. An article accurate when published may become inaccurate as statutes change or appellate courts decide cases. We update content periodically, but we cannot guarantee any specific article reflects the current state of the law at any specific moment.

If you’re relying on information for a specific legal matter, verify it against current primary sources or consult an attorney. Our content is a starting point, not an endpoint.

Editorial independence

Our editorial content is not reviewed or approved by sponsors, advertisers, or referral partners prior to publication. Sponsored content, where it appears, is clearly labeled. The distinction between editorial and sponsored content is maintained rigorously because it’s the foundation of our credibility with readers.

External links

We link to external sources — statutes, government agencies, academic research, third-party publications — when they support our content. We don’t control those sites, their content, or their privacy practices. Linking doesn’t constitute endorsement, and we don’t accept responsibility for the content or practices of linked sites.

Disclaimers

The site is provided as is. We don’t warrant that the content is free from errors, that the site will be available at all times, or that the content will meet any particular need. To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express and implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We are not liable for damages arising from use of the site or reliance on its content. If you’re making legal decisions based on anything published here, verify the information against primary sources and consult counsel. This disclaimer is broad because the legal information on the site is general by design; specific reliance is appropriately supported by specific counsel.

Changes to terms

We update these terms occasionally. Material changes are dated at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If you disagree with updated terms, stop using the site.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any disputes are resolved in state or federal courts located in New York County, New York. This choice reflects the location of our editorial office and isn’t intended to inconvenience readers; for practical purposes, the terms exist to make clear what the site is and isn’t, and formal disputes are rare.
