NYC workers’ compensation attorney Keetick L. Sanchez releases a new article (https://accidentlawyer-queens.com/how-long-do-you-have-to-report-an-injury-at-work-in-ny/) explaining how long a person has to report an injury at work. The lawyer mentions that if someone has sustained an injury at work, workers’ compensation has a specific deadline that a person needs to meet in order to receive compensation. If the victim fails to meet the deadline, they may not be able to receive compensation.

“Workers’ compensation is a very important benefit for workers who have suffered injuries on the job. Without these insurance benefits, you could face having to pay for the medical costs of your injuries out of pocket. Furthermore, if you are unable to return to work because of your injuries, workers’ compensation has disability benefits that will help you and your family financially while you are unable to work,” says the NYC workers’ compensation attorney.

The lawyer explains that the sooner a person files their accident claim, the sooner they are able to collect their workers’ compensation benefits. If a person has been involved in an accident on the job, the individual should always report it to their immediate supervisor as soon as possible. Under the law, an individual should report their accident within 30 days. This is called the workers’ compensation statute of limitations.

Attorney Keetick L. Sanchez says that it’s important to report an injury anytime a person is injured on the job. Regardless of how minor the injury is, filing a claim is an important step of the process.

In the article, the lawyer adds that another important step to take after a work injury is seeking medical help. Down the road, a person may realize that the injury was not immediately detectable. However, reporting the accident protects a person’s rights to workers’ compensation.

According to the accident attorney, “There may be instances when another individual or company outside your employer or place of employment was a factor in your workplace accident. If this is the case, in addition to filing for workers’ compensation, you may also be able to bring a personal injury lawsuit against the third party involved in the accident.”

Lastly, attorney Sanchez emphasizes the importance of having a skilled lawyer when it comes to matters such as workers' compensation. Having an experienced attorney may be able to help the victim receive the compensation that they deserve for the injuries they suffered.
