Frequently Asked Questions About Workplace Injuries in New York

What are my rights if I am injured at work?

If you are injured at work, you generally have the right to file a workers' compensation claim without fear of retaliation from your employer. You also have the right to see a doctor and to pursue medical treatment. If your injury is severe, you may have the right to disability benefits, whether temporary or permanent.

What types of workplace injuries are covered by workers' compensation?

Workers' compensation covers a wide range of injuries that can occur in the workplace, including but not limited to slips, trips, and falls, machine entanglements, vehicle accidents, repetitive strain injuries, and illnesses caused by exposure to hazardous substances. The key factor is that the injury or illness must be work-related.

How do I file a workers' compensation claim in New York?

To file a workers' compensation claim in New York, you should first report the injury to your employer as soon as possible. Your employer should then provide you with a claim form to fill out and return. The claim form should then be sent to the workers' compensation insurance company. It's crucial to keep records and follow all deadlines during this process.

How can a workplace injury lawyer in New York help me?

A workplace injury lawyer in New York can help guide you through the workers' compensation process, ensure that all the paperwork is completed correctly, and advocate for your rights. If your claim is denied, an attorney can represent you in hearings or appeals.

How long do I have to file a workers' compensation claim?

The time limit to file a workers' compensation claim varies by state, but it's generally a good idea to file as soon as possible after the injury occurs. In many states, the deadline is within one to three years of the injury.

What benefits am I entitled to under workers' compensation?

Under workers' compensation, you may be entitled to medical care for your injury, wage replacement benefits while you are unable to work, vocational rehabilitation if you can't return to your previous job, and permanent disability benefits if you're unable to return to work at all. The surviving dependents of a worker who dies due to a work-related injury may be entitled to death benefits.

How long will I receive workers' compensation benefits?

The length of time you receive workers' compensation benefits depends on the severity of your injury and your state's laws. Some benefits, like medical care, continue as long as necessary, while others, like temporary disability benefits, are limited in duration.

What if my employer does not have workers' compensation insurance?

If your employer does not have workers' compensation insurance, you may be able to sue them directly for your injuries. Some states also have funds to help injured workers whose employers are uninsured. A workplace injury attorney can advise you on the best course of action in this situation.

Can I sue my employer if I am injured at work?

In most cases, workers' compensation is an exclusive remedy, which means you cannot sue your employer for workplace injuries. However, there are exceptions, such as if your employer intentionally caused your injury or if your employer doesn't have workers' compensation insurance.

What should I do if my workers' compensation claim is denied?

If your workers' compensation claim is denied, you can appeal the decision. The appeals process varies by state but usually involves a hearing before a workers' compensation judge. An attorney can help you navigate the appeals process.
