Workers Compensation - How to File a Workers Compensation Claim
Workers who are injured on the job should report it as soon as they can. This will avoid delays and issues in receiving workers' compensation benefits.
Workers compensation benefits typically include medical treatment, vocational rehabilitation services, and disability benefits. The amount and time frame of these benefits differ from state to state.
Medical Treatment
If you're injured while working medical treatment is a vital element of your workers' compensation claim. This type of insurance covers hospitalizations, doctor appointments, and imaging studies (xrays) as well as rehabilitation costs.
To promote objective healing and to achieve the goal of returning to work, New York State Workers' Comp Board sets medical treatment guidelines (MTGs). These guidelines are periodically updated based on medical developments and recommendations from doctors.
These guidelines are intended to ensure that injured workers receive the same treatment as other employees with occupational injuries and illnesses. These guidelines ensure that the appropriate treatment is provided to each injury or illness, and that there are no unnecessary medical costs.
If a doctor determines that medical treatment is not necessary under the MTGs or other regulations, he/she can ask for an exemption from the insurer, asking for a specific exception to these MTGs. This is a long process that can take several months to complete.
Employers and insurance companies should take every step to provide the treatment if it is required. In the absence of this, it could result in a dispute between the insurer and the injured employee, which is usually resolved with an evidentiary hearing before an administrative law judge.
The treatment should usually be administered by an accredited local health professional who is authorized to offer workers' compensation treatment. In urgent situations, an unlicensed or uncertified physician can render treatment for a worker's injuries, as long as they have been informed of the accident and the proper initial report of injury has been filed by the employer or supervisor.
Many physicians are certified in workers' comp and will charge a reduced cost for treating injured employees. This is particularly helpful for patients who have sustained serious injuries.
A variety of medical professionals can provide treatment for injured employees, in addition to doctors. They include chiropractors, occupational therapists and physical therapists.
The New York State Workers' Compensation Board suggests that injured workers and their representatives consult with their lawyers prior to receiving any medical treatment. In some instances this may be the only way to make sure that employees receive the best treatment possible.
Charges
The costs associated with a workers compensation claim can be wildly different dependent on the individual worker and the state in the state in which they work. These expenses include medical payments and vocational rehabilitation costs, legal fees and settlement costs.

In addition to workers' compensation, companies can also incur additional indirect costs related to employee injuries. For instance, expenses like the duration of time employees are absent from working or the cost of hiring a replacement worker are also included in these indirect costs.
Another indirect cost is the cost of repairing or replacing equipment or property damaged in an accident that caused injury. It is a major expense for any company however it is more common for heavy-duty machinery and equipment.
