Understanding your rights and alternatives for pursuing workers’ compensation is crucial if you have sustained an injury while performing work-related duties in New York City. An insurance policy known as workers’ compensation offers payouts to workers who are hurt on the job or fall ill as a result.

Who to Report Your Workers’ Compensation Claim to in New York City

If you have been injured on the job in New York City, there are several steps you need to take to report your workers’ compensation claim:

  1. Report your injuries to your company: As soon as an accident or illness happens, you should let your employer know. After that, your employer must give you a Form C-3, which you must fill out and submit to the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB).
  2. Submit a claim to the Workers’ Compensation Board: As soon as you have finished the Form C-3, submit it to the Workers’ Compensation Board. The claim can be submitted online, via mail, or in person.
  3. Seek medical attention: If you have been hurt at work, it’s crucial to get care as quickly as you can. Your doctor will be able to record your injury and give you the evidence you need to file a workers’ compensation claim.
  4. Keep a record of your expenses: Keep records of all the costs associated with your injury, such as medical bills, lost wages, and other out-of-pocket expenses. When it comes time to determine your workers’ compensation payments, this information will be crucial.
  5. Consult with a workers’ compensation lawyer: If your claim has been rejected or you are having trouble receiving the benefits you are entitled to, you may want to think about contacting a workers’ compensation attorney. You can safeguard your rights and navigate the convoluted workers’ compensation system with the assistance of an attorney.
