Workers Compensation - How to File a Workers Compensation Claim
If an employee is injured at work, they need to report it promptly. This can prevent issues and delays in receiving workers compensation benefits.
Workers' compensation benefits typically consist of medical treatment as well as vocational rehabilitation services and disability payments. The amount and duration of these benefits can vary from state to state.
Medical Treatment
Workers' compensation claims include medical treatment for injuries sustained on the job. This kind of insurance covers hospitalization, doctor visits and imaging studies (xrays), as well as rehabilitation costs.
The New York State Workers' Compensation Board develops medical treatment guidelines (MTGs) to promote objective healing and return-to-work objectives. These guidelines are updated regularly with regard to changes in medical field and physician recommendations.
These guidelines are meant to ensure that injured workers receive the same treatment as other workers who suffer similar injuries or diseases. They also help ensure that the treatment is appropriate for the particular injury or illness and that there is no overtreatment or unnecessary medical costs.
If a doctor concludes that medical treatment is not necessary under the MTGs or other regulations, he/she can ask for an exemption from the insurer in order to request an exception to these MTGs. This is a long process which can take several months to be completed.
If the treatment is required the employer or insurer should make every effort to provide this treatment. Failure to do this could result in a dispute between the insurer and the injured employee which is usually settled through an evidentiary hearing before an administrative law judge.
Typically, the treatment must be administered by a licensed health care provider in the area who is authorized to treat claimants for workers' compensation. In the event of an emergency an unlicensed or uncertified doctor might be competent to treat injuries sustained by workers provided they are notified of the accident and completed the required initial injury report.
Many doctors are certified in workers' compensation. They can offer lower prices for treating injured employees. This is especially helpful to patients who have suffered a serious injury.
In addition to doctors, a number of other medical professionals are able to provide treatment for injured employees. These include chiropractors, occupational therapists and physical therapists.
The New York State Workers' Compensation Board suggests that injured workers and their representatives talk to their attorneys before they receive any medical treatment. This is the best method to ensure that injured workers receive top quality care in some instances.
The cost of expenses
The cost of a workers compensation claim can vary greatly depending on the particular employee and the state in which they are employed. The costs include medical insurance and vocational rehabilitation costs as well as legal fees and settlement costs.

Employers are required by law to have workers' compensation insurance in most states. This protects employees from lawsuits and other damages that result from workplace accidents, like injuries or illnesses. The policy covers medical care as well as replacement of wages and death benefits for workers killed on the job.
Workers' compensation insurance is important but it can be costly. A worker's compensation claim may cost businesses around $1 per hour of work lost.
The losses could show up in the bottom line of the business which can lead to an increase in productivity and profitability. It can also impact the reputation of the business, which can impact future business contracts and skilled employees.
In addition to workers' compensation, companies can also incur additional indirect costs related to injuries to employees. These indirect costs can include costs like the time employees are away from work or the cost of hiring workers who can be substituted.
Indirect costs are the cost of replacing or repairing equipment damaged by an accident. This is a significant expense for any company, but it is more common for heavy-duty machinery and equipment.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) fines associated with a high accident rate can be a significant expense for the employer. These fines are often triggered by inspections and other regulatory actions based on the company's fatality or worker injury rates.
