NY Workers Comp Attorney explains why Workers Compensation Benefits MATTER

Believe it or not, after being injured on the job some workers debate whether or not they should file for workers’ compensation benefits. If you are one of these workers who is on the fence about applying for benefits in New York, then this article is for you.

First and foremost, don’t let your employer bully you into not filing a claim. Your rights to compensation after a work-related injury are guaranteed by law, and nobody – certainly not your employer – can keep you from applying for these benefits. Second, you have to think of your future.

Consider these things when deciding whether or not you should apply for benefits:

Can you go right back to work after your injuy?

If the answer is “no”, then what are you going to do for income while you are injured? What is your family going to live on? Workers’ compensation benefits can tide you over until you can go back to work, or you can receive compensation for the rest of your life if you have a partial or full disability that prevents you from working.

Are you limited in the type of work you can perform after your accident?

Even if you can go back to work, you may be limited in the tasks that you can perform because of injuries you suffered in your on-the-job accident. This can affect your ability to earn the same amount that you used to, it can affect your ability to receive a promotion or a pay raise, and it can impact the amount of money that you can earn for the rest of your career.

Do you have medical bills to pay?

If you were injured on the job, then you probably need medical care, from an independent doctor of your choosing. Some employers will push injured workers to see their primary care doctor to be treated for a workplace injury, when they have the right to see an independent doctor that would be paid for by workers’ compensation. Don’t let your employer bully you into paying a copay or paying out of pocket for medical treatment after a workplace accident.
