In what ways can an employee injured in heavy machinery and work equipment accidents file a claim to receive compensation?
Injured employees can file a claim for compensation through the
following sources:
Workers’
compensation benefits: Employees injured on the job
are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits through the employer’s
insurance, regardless of fault.
Personal
Injury Lawsuit: If an employee is injured because
of the employer's carelessness or intentional act, he/she can bypass the
workers' compensation system and sue their employer for the damages.
I was working at a construction site. Suddenly an object fell on me and I was injured and hospitalized. After I had recovered from my injuries, I got compensation under the Workers' Compensation Act. Two years later, when I was working on another site, I felt severe pain. The doctor I consulted told me that the pain was related to the injuries I had suffered two years back. I had to undergo a surgery. Can I claim additional compensation for my expenses and suffering under workers' compensation?
"Under New York State Workers' Compensation, workers receive full coverage of medical care and hospital treatment for work-related injuries and illnesses for a minimum period of 18 years.
