Think It's Too Late? Think Again.

Many injured workers give up before they even start — because of bad information. Here's the truth about New York workers' compensation law.

🕐 The New York Workers' Comp Timeline
1

Report Within 30 Days

Notify your employer of your injury within 30 days of it happening. This can be verbal or written.

2

File Within 2 Years

You have up to 2 years from the date of injury to file your claim. Don't wait — the sooner you act, the stronger your case.

New York law gives you up to 2 years from the date of injury to file a workers' compensation claim. Even if months have passed, you may still be entitled to benefits. Don't assume it's too late — contact us for a free case review.
Many work injuries don't require immediate emergency care. Whether you sought treatment right away or later, you can still file a claim. Delayed onset of symptoms is common and recognized under New York law.
Employers sometimes incorrectly deny coverage. New York law requires most employers to carry workers' compensation insurance. An attorney can review your case and determine if you're actually covered, regardless of what your employer claims.
It is illegal in New York for an employer to fire, demote, or retaliate against an employee for filing a workers' compensation claim. If this happens to you, you may have additional legal claims against your employer.
Workers' compensation covers far more than medical bills. You may be entitled to wage replacement, permanent disability payments, vocational rehabilitation, mileage reimbursement, and more.
Workers' compensation is a no-fault system in New York. You can generally receive benefits even if the accident was partially your fault, as long as it occurred in the course of your employment.
