Injured at work in New York? Free calculators, deadline reminders, and a claim assistant that answers in your language. Now in 12 languages, with Arabic and Urdu.
Injured on the job in New York? The Comp Desk is your companion for New York State Workers' Compensation — start your claim, find an attorney, protect your benefits, and understand your rights, free and right from your phone. No account required to get started — tell us where you are in your case and the app arranges itself around it.
YOUR ROAD TO RECOVERY
Answer a few questions and The Comp Desk builds a personalized roadmap for a case like yours — the path ahead, the steps that matter most, and the next thing to do. Check each one off as you heal.
STAY ON TRACK WITH REMINDERS
A notification center on your dashboard, plus optional reminders on your phone — nudges tied to where you are in your claim, and a heads-up about the deadline to notify your employer. Choose your reminder types and quiet hours in your profile. Reminders are educational, never legal advice.
START YOUR CLAIM (FREE)
File your official C-3 (Employee Claim), the form that opens your case with the New York State Workers' Compensation Board. Our step-by-step wizard fills it out with you, generates the signed PDF, and emails it straight to the Board — along with the C-3.3 medical release when your claim needs it.
FIND WORK WITHIN YOUR RESTRICTIONS — JOB BUDDY
Out of work or on light duty? Job Buddy matches real job openings to your medical restrictions and keeps a hearing-ready record of your search (C-258.1). Upload your IME or C-4.3 and it reads your restrictions for you. You apply on the employer's site — we never apply for you.
GET REIMBURSED FOR MEDICAL TRAVEL
The Mileage & Travel tracker logs every trip to treatment — subway, bus, rideshare, taxi, or your own car at the official rate — then generates your C-257 and emails it to the Board. Attach receipts as you go.
FIND A DOCTOR & STAY ON TRACK
Search 900+ Workers' Compensation Board-authorized providers near you by injury and borough, save your favorites, and get reminders before your IME appointments.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
Ask Comp Buddy, a built-in assistant that answers your questions in plain English — it can even read a photo of a Board notice you're unsure about — plus step-by-step guides that explain what happens next.
CHECK YOUR BENEFITS (FREE)
Estimate your average weekly wage and weekly benefit rate so you know what you should be receiving.
TWELVE LANGUAGES
Available in English, Spanish, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Russian, Bengali, Haitian Creole, Korean, Arabic, Urdu, French, and Polish. Choose yours when you first open the app, or change it in Settings. Comp Buddy answers in the language you pick, and Arabic and Urdu lay out right to left.
Translation is ongoing — some screens are still in English, and we add more each release. Board forms are filed in English, as the Board requires; the app explains them to you in your language.
FOR ATTORNEYS & PROFESSIONALS
Comp Desk Pro puts a full suite of New York State Workers' Compensation calculators in your pocket — Schedule Loss of Use, permanency, loss of wage-earning capacity, average weekly wage, concurrent employment, settlement and Burns rates, and more — plus one-tap fee-application (OC-400.1) generation, saved cases, and a growing marketplace of practice tools.
SECURE BY DESIGN
Protect your account with a password, two-factor authentication, and recovery codes.

Twelve languages, including Arabic and Urdu.
• Choose your language the moment you open the app — or change it any time in Settings. Comp Buddy answers your questions in the language you pick, and the app lays out right to left in Arabic and Urdu, with fonts chosen for each script.
• A new opening flow. Tell us where you are — hurt at work, sick from work, already have a case, helping someone else, or a professional — and the app arranges itself around that.
• A dashboard that adapts to you. The card that matters most sits on top: the deadline to notify your employer, a plain-language explainer for an illness caused by work, or your employer and exposure history.
• Pick up where you left off. Stop partway through and the app offers to resume instead of starting over.
• Filing your C-3 speaks your language too — the whole wizard, and the reminders that follow it.
• Sign in with Apple or Google, alongside email.
• Claiming an illness caused by your work now asks the right questions — when it began, the work that caused it, how it developed — instead of accident questions.
• The claim form works with the keyboard up. Every question stays reachable, and the Back and Next buttons stay where you can tap them.
• More room for what matters, on every screen — plus a clearer bottom bar and one consistent look for the main buttons throughout the app.
We're still translating. Parts of the app are in English while that work continues — your language setting applies everywhere we've finished, and more lands each release. Official New York State Workers' Compensation Board forms are prepared in English, as the Board requires; the app explains them to you in your language.
