Bronx Workers' Compensation Medical Benefits Lawyers
Workers' compensation provides wage benefits and medical benefits to people who have suffered a work-related injury or illness. Employees are entitled to medical care directly related to their injury or illness.
Medical services are paid for by the employer or its insurance carrier if there is no dispute about a workers' compensation claim and if the medical services are determined to be directly related to the employee's work-related injury or illness. In some cases, insurance providers dispute whether medical care was directly related to a work injury or illness.
If You Have Been Injured
You should report your injury to your employer as soon as possible. You are required to provide notice to your employer within 30 days to comply with New York's workers' compensation statute.
You should see a doctor of your choice as soon as possible, advising the doctor that you have a job-related condition or injury. It is very important that your doctor documents each of your injuries. In the vast majority of cases, you have the right to see any doctor of your choice.
