Workplace Injuries & Compensation Laws

In New York, workers’ compensation laws are in place to ensure that every employee who suffers an injury during the course of their work receives benefits to cover their losses. Some people refer to the system as “workers’ comp” or “workman’s comp.”

In order to make a claim under these laws, the injuries must have occurred:

  1. While on a job site
  2. While off-site but while performing work-related duties
  3. As a result of work-related tasks or operations
  4. As a result of exposure to toxins or chemicals through the course of work

When considering an application for workers’ compensation, negligence is not used as a determining factor. That means mistakes made by your employer or a failure to follow OSHA regulations will not be taken into consideration. Likewise, it doesn’t matter if you made a mistake and were injured as a result. You will still be able to apply for compensation.

The law offers broad protection to workers who have suffered workplace injuries and is designed to ensure no worker is left without compensation to pay their bills and expenses.
