At Cass and Peters, a New York workers’ compensation law firm, we are committed to empowering injured workers through education and advocacy. Our mission is to ensure that every worker, regardless of immigration status, understands their rights and knows how to take action if they are injured on the job.
One of the key ways we accomplish this is through regular community outreach initiatives designed to connect with neighborhood and immigrant communities. Many workers in industries like construction, domestic services, and delivery driving are unaware of their rights or the protections available to them under New York law. This lack of knowledge often leaves them vulnerable and without support during challenging times.
To address this, Cass and Peters has launched a series of Facebook Live events aimed at bridging the information gap. These events provide workers and community members with critical insights about workers’ compensation rights, legal protections, and the steps to take in case of a workplace injury. Topics include:
• Understanding workers’ compensation benefits
• Legal rights for undocumented workers in New York
• Navigating workplace injury claims
• Resources available to injured workers
Our Facebook Live sessions offer a convenient and interactive platform where workers can ask questions, share concerns, and gain valuable guidance from experienced attorneys. By leveraging social media, we are able to reach a broad audience and engage with communities that need this information most.

The sessions focus on practical advice for workers in high-risk occupations, such as construction laborers, domestic workers, and delivery drivers. These individuals often face unique challenges, including unsafe working conditions and limited access to employer-provided benefits. Our events emphasize that workers—regardless of their documentation status—are entitled to compensation and protection under New York law if injured on the job.
In addition to virtual outreach, Cass and Peters collaborates with local organizations to distribute informational materials and ensure our message reaches workers where they live and work. We encourage community groups to share our resources, including flyers and links to upcoming Facebook Live events, on their websites and social media platforms.
Through these efforts, Cass and Peters continues to be a trusted advocate for New York’s workforce, ensuring that no worker is left behind when it comes to their rights and well-being. Join us on our Facebook page to stay informed and connected!
