Terry Katz & Associates Voted Best Workers’ Compensation Attorney on Long Island (2026)

Terry Katz & Associates, P.C. has been voted Best Workers’ Compensation Attorney on Long Island (2026) in the FourLeaf Best of Long Island awards, a community-driven recognition that reflects the trust Long Islanders place in the firm when a workplace injury disrupts paychecks, medical care, and peace of mind.

For injured workers, the headline is not the trophy. It’s what community trust buys you as a client: faster clarity, stronger follow-through, and a legal team that lives in the workers’ comp system every day.

A community-voted recognition for Long Island workers

The FourLeaf Best of Long Island contest, now in its 21st year, is the largest business awards program in Long Island history, with over 39,000 nominations, more than 140,000 registered voters, and more than one million votes cast annually (from October 1 through December 15) across Nassau and Suffolk counties.

Each year, only the top 15–18 nominees in a category make the ballot, and just one local winner is named Best of Long Island, based entirely on community voting.

This year, over 1.3 million votes were cast across dozens of business and service categories, recognizing both Nassau and Suffolk County businesses who demonstrate the highest commitment to excellence and to the people who call Long Island home.

Being voted #1 in the workers’ comp category for the second year in a row signals that local residents recognize consistent service, responsiveness, and advocacy when a workplace injury impacts a family’s finances and stability

What decades of community trust buys you as a client

When you’re hurt on the job in Nassau County, Suffolk County, or anywhere across New York, uncertainty is often the hardest part: How do I get medical care approved? When do benefits start? What if my claim is denied or delayed?

Your benefits may depend on what you do early, including timely reporting and consistent medical documentation.

Founded in 1992, Terry Katz & Associates has represented tens of thousands of injured and disabled workers navigate New York workers’ compensation and Social Security disability claims, including claims involving on-the-job injuries, occupational conditions, disputes with carriers, and hearings before the Workers’ Compensation Board.

That focus matters because small details can create big delays: when an injury is reported, how medical records describe work restrictions, and how disputes are handled when benefits are challenged.

Having a legal team that handles these issues daily can reduce uncertainty and protect your right to benefits under New York law.

Our team shows up when it matters, stays responsive, and fights for the benefits injured workers need to move forward.

This is what our New York workers' compensation lawyers aim to deliver from day one:

• Faster clarity: A straightforward explanation of what benefits may apply, what steps come next, and what can slow a claim down.
• Stronger follow-through: Tight handling of deadlines, paperwork, medical documentation, and carrier requirements so nothing falls through the cracks.
• A team that lives in the system every day: Years of experience dealing with the real-world process, including disputes, hearings, and benefit pushback across New York.

‍“Community-voted recognition like this matters because it reflects what injured workers value most: clarity and follow-through. When someone is hurt at work, they need answers they can act on and a team that stays on top of the process every step of the way. We deal with the workers’ compensation system every day, and our job is to make it feel less confusing, less stressful, and more manageable for the person who is trying to heal.”  — Justin Lieberman, Attorney
