New York Claim Path: Reporting, Filing, and Appearing.
October 5, 2016 Greg Lois
This post provides a general overview of how traumatic, specific accident claims are generally handled.
First, the worker gets medical treatment and notifies her supervisor about the accident and how it occurred.
The employee notifies the employer of the accident in writing, as soon as possible, but within 30 days. The Board may excuse the lack of notice if notice could not be given (for example: the claimant was taken to the hospital and could not inform her employer), the employer had knowledge, or if the employer is not harmed by lack of notice. WCL § 18.
The employee may file a claim with the Board by filing a Form C-3. This must be done within two years of the accident or within two years after the employee knew, or should have known, that the injury was related to employment. WCL § 28.

Practical Advice on Injury Reporting in New York
September 21, 2016 Greg Lois
When Injury Reporting is Required.
New York Workers’ Compensation Law §110 states that an accident must be reported when it:
“will cause a loss of time from regular duties of one day beyond the working day or shift on which the accident occurred, or which has required or will require medical treatment beyond ordinary first aid or more than two treatments by a person rendering first aid.”
The Workers’ Compensation Board has an official form for reporting injuries (Form C-2F “Employer’s Report of Work-Related Injury/Illness“). The form must be provided to the injured worker upon request and has to be maintained (held) by the employer for at least 18 years.
The C-2F report must be filed with the Workers’ Compensation Board within 10 days after the occurrence of the accident.
Failure to file the report subjects the employer to potential misdemeanor criminal liability, punishable by a fine of not more than $1000. A second penalty – not to exceed $2500 – can be imposed by the Board. Continue reading Practical Advice on Injury Reporting in New York →

Penalties Under New York Workers’ Compensation Law Section 52
July 13, 2016 Lois LLC
In New York, all employers are required to carry Workers’ Compensation insurance. This includes employers with less than five employees. Workers’ Compensation Law imposes heavy penalties against the employer for failure to obtain insurance as well as for defrauding the insurance carrier. [See WCL Section 52]
Penalties are assessed against the employer for misclassifying and concealing employees. The law specifically includes employer’s actions of intentionally and materially understating or concealing payroll, concealing duties to avoid proper classification or

concealing any other information pertinent to the calculation of premiums. Section 52 covers misrepresentations such as paying workers “off the books,” not reporting wages paid to illegal aliens and misclassifying employees as “independent contractors” in an attempt to pay a lower premium.
