New York has enacted both criminal and civil laws to address the non-consensual sharing of intimate images, commonly referred to as revenge porn or sextortion. These actions, often facilitated by the internet and social media, can cause severe emotional, psychological, and reputational harm to victims. The laws provide significant protections, allowing for both criminal prosecution of offenders and civil remedies for emotional distress. If you are a victim, it is essential to understand your rights and legal options.

Workers’ compensation is a no-fault insurance system that provides medical care, wage replacement, and other benefits to employees injured or made ill on the job. In New York, employers are legally required to carry this coverage, ensuring support for all workers, including part-time and undocumented employees. This system helps injured workers recover without the need to prove employer negligence or file lawsuits.
