cuando una persona es lesionado en el trabajo<\/a> or is diagnosed with an occupational illness and files a claim with the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board, he or she may be entitled to a certain type and amount of benefits. In addition to covering all medical expenses, workers’ compensation<\/a> puede proporcionar beneficios en efectivo por la p\u00e9rdida de ingresos. Las familias que pierden seres queridos en accidentes laborales fatales tambi\u00e9n pueden solicitar beneficios. A continuaci\u00f3n se incluye una breve descripci\u00f3n de los tres tipos principales de beneficios:<\/p>\n Los beneficios en efectivo cubren la p\u00e9rdida de ingresos de un trabajador discapacitado por una enfermedad o lesi\u00f3n relacionada con el trabajo y que no puede trabajar durante m\u00e1s de siete d\u00edas. Estos no se pagan por los primeros siete d\u00edas que el trabajador est\u00e1 incapacitado, a menos que la incapacidad dure m\u00e1s de dos semanas, en cuyo caso el trabajador puede ser elegible para beneficios desde el primer d\u00eda de trabajo perdido. El monto de los beneficios en efectivo pagados a un trabajador se calcular\u00e1 tomando dos tercios de su salario semanal promedio y multiplic\u00e1ndolo por el porcentaje de discapacidad. Por ejemplo, un trabajador que gana $600 por semana y tiene una discapacidad de 50% ser\u00eda elegible para un beneficio semanal de $200. Si ese mismo trabajador tuviera una discapacidad de 100%, el monto del beneficio semanal ser\u00eda de $400. Hay un l\u00edmite en los beneficios en efectivo, que cambia de a\u00f1o en a\u00f1o. El m\u00e1ximo semanal total desde el 1 de julio de 2012 hasta el 30 de junio de 2013, por ejemplo, es $792.07.<\/p>\n Injured workers eligible for workers’ compensation will receive medical care related to their injuries or illnesses from healthcare providers that are authorized by the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board. There are some exceptions, however, as in the case of an emergency situation when a worker may not have time to seek out an authorized provider. Specialized tests or procedures not available at an authorized facility may be sought elsewhere and the workers’ comp insurance provider would have the responsibility of paying for this treatment.<\/p>\n When a family loses a loved one in a work-related accident or as the result of an occupational disease, the surviving spouse and\/or minor children may seek benefits under the workers’ compensation system. These benefits may include weekly cash benefits as discussed above, which would equal two-thirds of the worker’s average weekly wage from the year before the incident occurred. If there are no surviving family members, the estate or the worker may receive a sum totaling up to $50,000. Workers’ compensation may also cover funeral expenses, which may total up to $6,000 in Metropolitan New York counties and up to $5,000 in all other parts of the state.<\/p>\n Although the workers’ compensation system in New York provides the above benefits to injured workers and the families of workers who lose their lives in workplace accidents, this does not guarantee that every applicant will receive benefits or that these benefits will be paid in a fair and timely manner. Navigating the workers’ comp system can be difficult, particularly if an employer or insurance provider acts dishonestly or tries to delay or deny payment of a fair claim. Working with an attorney can make a difference.
