Workers Compensation - How to File a Workers Compensation Claim
Workers who are injured on the worksite should report the injury as soon possible. This helps prevent problems and delays in receiving workers' comp benefits.
Common workers' compensation benefits include disability payments, medical treatment and vocational rehabilitation services. These benefits may differ in amount and duration from one state to the next.
Medical Treatment
Workers' compensation claims are medical treatment for injuries that are sustained while working. This type of insurance covers doctor visits, hospital stays and imaging studies (xrays) as well as rehabilitation costs.
The New York State Workers' Compensation Board creates medical treatment guidelines (MTGs) to encourage objective healing and return-to-work objectives. These guidelines are updated regularly based on changes in the medical field and recommendations from doctors.
These guidelines are designed to ensure that injured workers receive the same treatment as other workers who suffer similar injuries or diseases. These guidelines ensure that appropriate treatment is provided for each illness or injury and that there aren't unnecessary medical costs.
If the doctor decides that treatment outside of the MTGs is required, he or she may request a variance from an insurance company, asking for an exemption to the MTGs. The process is lengthy and could take months to complete.
If treatment is required, the employer or the insurer must make every effort to provide the treatment. Failure to do so can result in a conflict between the insurer and the injured employee which is usually settled with an evidentiary hearing before an administrative law judge.
Typically, the treatment should be administered by a licensed health care provider in the area that is licensed to treat workers' compensation claimants. In urgent situations, an unlicensed or uncertified doctor may be able to provide the treatment needed for injuries sustained by a worker provided they have been notified of the incident and the necessary initial report of injury has been submitted by the supervisor or employer.
Many physicians are certified in workers' compensation and charge a lower rate for treating injured employees. This is particularly beneficial for patients who have suffered serious injuries.
In addition to doctors in addition, other medical professionals can provide treatment for injured employees. 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 attorneys before receiving any medical treatment. In some instances this may be the only way to ensure a worker is getting the best possible treatment.
Expenses
Workers compensation costs can vary depending on the state and the employee. The costs include medical insurance and vocational rehabilitation costs, legal costs, and settlement costs.

This shields employees from lawsuits and other damages resulting from workplace accidents, including injuries or illnesses.

Workers' compensation insurance is important but can be costly. A worker's compensation claim may cost a company around $1 per hour of work lost.
These losses can be reflected in the bottom line of the company, which can lead to the loss of productivity and profits. It can also impact the reputation of the company which could affect future business contracts and the ability of employees.
Besides workers' compensation, a company can also incur other indirect costs related to employee injuries. Costs like the time an employee is absent from work or the cost of hiring a replacement employee could also be included in these indirect costs.
Indirect costs are the repair or replacement of equipment damaged in an accident. This is an expensive expense for any business, and is common for companies with heavy-duty machinery or equipment.
Employers can be subject to OSHA fines for having high incident rates. These fines are typically caused when an organization's accident or fatality rates are examined.
