What Does Workers' Comp Insurance Cover?
In Manhattan, workers' compensation insurance typically covers the following:
- Medical expenses related to the injury or illness
- Wage replacement for time off work
- Rehabilitation and vocational training
- Compensation for permanent disabilities
Note that this insurance won't cover everything – there are limits. By contacting us for a free case evaluation, we may be able to explore other ways to maximize your claim and recover damages beyond what this type of insurance covers.
Can I File a Claim as an Independent Contractor?
Independent contractors are usually not eligible for workers' compensation benefits. However, we've seen cases where employers have misclassified their employees to avoid paying workers' compensation insurance. For this reason, you should always have your case reviewed by an expert to determine whether there is any foul play involved.
I Just Found Out That My Employer Does Not Have Workers' Comp Insurance. What Do I Do?
In that case, you may still have options. You can contact us to explore potential legal remedies, such as pursuing a personal injury claim against your employer.
Can I File a Claim if I'm Partly at Fault for the Accident?
Yes, you can, and that's because workers' compensation is generally a no-fault system. That said, this insurance won't cover injuries resulting from intentional misconduct or substance abuse while on the job.
Can My Employer Retaliate Against Me for Filing a Workers' Comp Claim?
In Manhattan and throughout New York City, it is illegal for employers to retaliate against employees for filing workers' compensation claims. If you suspect retaliation, you should document incidents and contact us for a free assessment.
