Workers' Compensation
Your Rights
New York State's Worker's Compensation Law was developed in 1914 by statute to provide medical treatment and wage loss benefits to injured workers' in place of personal injury actions. In this system, you may qualify for lost time and medical benefits only. There is no renumeration for pain and suffering or loss of other benefits such as health insurance or other benefits lost following a work injury. With this sytem in place, workers' are not permitted to sue either their employer or a fellow employee for negligence in the work place.
The Process
Currently, workers' are facing limited indemnity benefits and denial of medical care at every turn. As the system has shifted towards reducing costs in the system, the New York State Workers' Compensation Board is not looking out for a workers' best interests.
