Who qualifies for workers' compensation in New York?
In New York, most employees are eligible for workers' compensation benefits if they are injured or become ill while working. This includes full-time, part-time, and seasonal employees, as well as numerous day laborers and temporary workers. Workers' compensation coverage applies independent of who was at blame in the accident, so you can still obtain benefits even if you made a mistake that resulted in your injuries.
Certain workers, such as independent contractors, volunteers, or self-employed persons, may not be immediately eligible. However, there are several exceptions based on the nature of the employment and the contractual conditions. Coverage often includes job-related injuries, repetitive stress injuries, occupational diseases, and even mental health issues caused by workplace trauma.

How can I make a workers' compensation claim?
Filing a workers' compensation claim in New York entails several critical steps to guarantee that you receive the benefits you deserve. First, notify your employer of your accident or illness as soon as possible—ideally within 30 days of the incidence. Failure to notify your employer soon may endanger your claim. Next, seek immediate medical attention from a healthcare provider approved by the New York State Workers' Compensation Board. Make careful to tell the doctor that your accident happened at work so that it is properly documented.
After reporting the injury, submit Form C-3, the Employee Claim Form, to the New York State Workers' Compensation Board. This form details your accident, injuries, and employment. Once submitted, the insurance company will analyze your claim to establish eligibility for benefits such as medical care and lost income.
