How Do I File a Workers’ Compensation Claim?
The process of filing a workers’ compensation claim varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Our Hauppauge workers’ compensation lawyers understand exactly how this process progresses in New York. In general, you are going to need to obtain documentation related to how your injury or illness developed. You are also going to need to obtain documentation confirming that you do indeed have a work-related injury or illness as a result of your working conditions and/or an accident. Don’t worry. Our legal team can help you obtain necessary documentation and direct you to medical professionals in order to document your diagnosis if you have not already taken these steps.
You are also going to need to notify your employer of your intention to file a claim.
