Getting injured at work is serious. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, over 4 million workers were injured on the job in 2005, with about 5,700 deaths from work injuries. Thankfully, New York State offers a workers’ compensation program to provide financial protection and medical care.
Workers’ Compensation Coverage
New York requires employers to provide workers’ compensation benefits to their employees from the moment they start work. This includes coverage for injuries sustained during work, travel to and from work under certain circumstances, and applies regardless of immigration status or being an undocumented worker.
Immediate Actions After an Injury
- Seek Medical Attention: Prioritize your health by seeing a doctor certified by New York State for workers’ compensation cases. Timely medical reports (C-4s) are crucial for validating your claim and ensuring treatment and compensation for lost wages.
