Workers’ Comp Benefits for Injured Workers
Workers’ Compensation claims are not a lawsuit. They are a claim on an insurance policy that is held by your employer. As an employee you are entitled to be covered under that insurance policy. The main purpose of said policy is to provide:
Medical Coverage: Workers’ compensation offers medical coverage for expenses related to your work-injury. From office visits to operative procedures, the insurance carrier is responsible for covering all costs for medical treatment regarding your injury. The goal is to treat the injury until a doctor finds that it has reached maximum medical improvement. Maximum Medical Improvement means your doctor has exhausted all treatment options and considers your injury to be as healed as it will ever be.
Example: A Construction Worker for a contracting company in Nassau County suffers a broken leg and fractured hip after falling from a high altitude. The insurance carrier is responsible for covering all costs starting from the ambulance ride to the hospital, examinations, x-rays, surgeries, rehabilitation, physical therapy, down to medicine prescribed by your doctor.
Lost Wages/Wage Replacement: In the event a work-related injury prevents an employee from working, the insurance carrier is responsible for compensating by providing weekly compensation checks. The out-of-work employee will receive a portion of their average weekly wage. Average Weekly Wage is how much you would regularly earn in a week spanning a year back from the date of injury. Insurance carriers are known to avoid paying their claimants. It is up to the claimant to provide proof of their income and medical reports/documentation indicating a doctor is keeping them out of work. The purpose of Workers’ Compensation benefits is to assist the claimant financially until they can return to work.
Example: A registered nurse working in a Nassau County Hospital suffers a severe injury that keeps them out of work. The insurance carrier is prompted to start paying weekly compensation payments once they receive medical proof that they are not able to return to work. It is up to the registered nurse to regularly follow up with their doctor to ensure the Workers’ Compensation Board & Insurance Carrier are receiving up to date medical reports.
Additional Workers’ Compensation Benefits & Resources
- Vocational Training for workers that can no longer work in the same career field.
- Survivor Benefits for families of workers who suffered fatal work-injuries.
- Permanent Disability Benefits–if the claimant is found to have a Permanent Disability.
