About

Cass & Peters Attorneys at Law is a Manhattan-based workers' compensation firm with more than 30 years of experience representing injured workers throughout New York City. Founded by Alan Cass, a former New York corporation counsel for workers' compensation, and Fred Peters, the firm has built a reputation for aggressively pursuing the claims of construction workers, delivery personnel, healthcare professionals, drivers, and others injured on the job across the five boroughs.

The firm handles the full spectrum of workplace injury cases, including falls from heights, back and neck injuries, repetitive stress injuries, vehicle accidents, and permanent disabilities. Cass & Peters also pursues third-party lawsuits against property owners, contractors, and manufacturers when applicable—claims that do not reduce workers' compensation benefits. The attorneys work to recover medical treatment paid in full, wage replacement at two-thirds of average weekly wages, scheduled loss awards, and permanent disability payments. When a claim is denied, the firm regularly reverses those denials at hearings.

Client testimonials reflect the firm's hands-on approach. Clients consistently praise the professionalism and attentiveness of the legal team, which includes attorneys and staff members who provide support at every stage of a claim. One client's case took nearly three years to resolve but concluded with an unexpectedly favorable settlement. Another noted that Cass & Peters' team was supportive throughout, while a third commented on the firm's willingness to fight until the end.

Cass & Peters operates from a convenient office at 225 Broadway in Lower Manhattan and serves injured workers throughout all five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island. The firm is bilingual, offering free consultations in both English and Spanish by phone at any time, 24/7.

The firm works on a contingency basis—no fee is charged unless the case is won. This arrangement reflects Cass & Peters' confidence in its ability to recover compensation. According to the firm, represented claimants typically recover three to five times more than those who proceed without legal counsel. The firm emphasizes that injured workers have strict filing deadlines—notification to employers within 30 days and filing with the Board within two years—making early legal consultation essential.
