Ha resultado lesionado en el trabajo. \u00bfAhora que? Es posible que haya tropezado y ca\u00eddo sobre una baldosa suelta mientras caminaba por el pasillo hacia su oficina. Es posible que haya sido golpeado por una pieza de maquinaria pesada en la planta de fabricaci\u00f3n donde trabaja. Es posible que se haya ca\u00eddo de un andamio en un sitio de construcci\u00f3n. No importa c\u00f3mo ocurri\u00f3 el incidente o el alcance de la lesi\u00f3n que haya sufrido, hay ciertos pasos que debe seguir si experimenta un lesi\u00f3n relacionada con el trabajo<\/a> en Nueva York. Seguir estos pasos puede proteger su derecho a recibir workers’ compensation benefits<\/a>.<\/p>\n The following are the basic steps to take after an on-the-job injury. These may vary depending on the severity of the injury and the circumstances surrounding the event that led to the injury, but these can be used as a guideline:<\/p>\n Busque atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica.<\/strong> If you have been seriously injured, the first thing you should do is seek medical care. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room if the injury is severe or life-threatening. If the injury does not require emergency care, find out from your employer where you should receive medical treatment. The treating healthcare provider for a work injury must be authorized by the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board, except in emergency situations. Medical services rendered to treat a work-related injury are covered by workers’ compensation.<\/p>\n Notifique a su empleador de su lesi\u00f3n.<\/strong> Despu\u00e9s de buscar atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica, debe informar a su empleador, por escrito, de lo ocurrido. Debe hacer esto dentro de los 30 d\u00edas posteriores al incidente que caus\u00f3 sus lesiones, o puede perder su derecho a recuperar los beneficios. Sin embargo, si le diagnosticaron una enfermedad ocupacional, puede tener dos a\u00f1os a partir de la fecha en que se incapacit\u00f3 o la fecha en que sab\u00eda o deber\u00eda haber sabido razonablemente que su enfermedad estaba relacionada con el trabajo.<\/p>\n Presentar un Reclamo de Empleado (C-3). <\/strong>Usted debe file form C-3 with the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board<\/a>. You can fill out and file this form online or can fill it out and mail it in. You can even call the Board for assistance in filling out your claim over the phone. This form must be filed within two years of the date of your injury, or you may lose your right to workers’ comp benefits.<\/p>\n The above are the three primary steps recommended by the NYS Workers’ Compensation Board. The Board also recommends that the claimant:<\/p>\n Attend such hearings as may be held in the case, when you are notified to appear.<\/p>\n Another step we highly recommend is involving an attorney. Seeking legal counsel can be done at any stage of this process, though we advise that you talk to your attorney as soon as possible.<\/p>\n Tener un competente workers’ compensation attorney<\/a> by your side in the early stages of your claim may make all the difference as you seek workers’ comp benefits. There are certain steps you should take and things you can do to give yourself a better opportunity at having your claim resolved quickly and in a fair manner.<\/p>\n A New York workers’ compensation lawyer at Napoli Shkolnik PLLC may be able to help with each step listed above. This includes helping you seek the medical care you need, even if it is outside the network of Board-approved healthcare providers, which is allowed in certain circumstances. It also includes notifying your employer (and handling all communication with your employer regarding your claim) and filing form C-3 with the Workers’ Compensation Board. Properly filing your claim and including all relevant supporting documentation can increase your chances that it is approved and you are offered a fair settlement. After your claim has been filed, your attorney can handle any necessary negotiations with the workers’ comp insurance provider and can even file a lawsuit on your behalf if you are the victim of a wrongfully denied or delayed claim.<\/p>\n With more than 150 years of collective experience, a national reputation as a leading plaintiffs’ firm and a track record that includes more than $3 billion recovered since 2000 alone, Napoli Shkolnik is prepared to provide the level of legal counsel that can make a difference for New Yorkers who have been injured at work.
