Lorsqu'une personne est bless\u00e9 au travail<\/a> or is diagnosed with an occupational illness and files a claim with the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board, he or she may be entitled to a certain type and amount of benefits. In addition to covering all medical expenses, l'indemnisation des travailleurs<\/a> peut fournir des prestations en esp\u00e8ces pour la perte de revenus. Les familles qui perdent des \u00eatres chers dans des accidents de travail mortels peuvent \u00e9galement demander des prestations. Un bref aper\u00e7u des trois principaux types d'avantages est inclus ci-dessous\u00a0:<\/p>\n Les prestations en esp\u00e8ces couvrent la perte de revenus d'un travailleur invalide en raison d'une maladie ou d'un accident li\u00e9 au travail et incapable de travailler pendant plus de sept jours. Celles-ci ne sont pas vers\u00e9es pendant les sept premiers jours d'invalidit\u00e9 du travailleur, sauf si l'invalidit\u00e9 dure plus de deux semaines, auquel cas le travailleur peut avoir droit \u00e0 des prestations d\u00e8s le premier jour d'absence. Le montant des prestations en esp\u00e8ces vers\u00e9es \u00e0 un travailleur sera calcul\u00e9 en prenant les deux tiers de son salaire hebdomadaire moyen et en le multipliant par le pourcentage d'invalidit\u00e9. Par exemple, un travailleur qui gagne $600 par semaine et qui est invalide 50% aurait droit \u00e0 une prestation hebdomadaire de $200. Si ce m\u00eame travailleur \u00e9tait invalide 100%, le montant de la prestation hebdomadaire serait de $400. Les prestations en esp\u00e8ces sont plafonn\u00e9es et varient d'une ann\u00e9e \u00e0 l'autre. Le maximum hebdomadaire total du 1er\u00a0juillet\u00a02012 au 30\u00a0juin\u00a02013, par exemple, est de $792.07.<\/p>\n Injured workers eligible for workers’ compensation will receive medical care related to their injuries or illnesses from healthcare providers that are authorized by the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board. There are some exceptions, however, as in the case of an emergency situation when a worker may not have time to seek out an authorized provider. Specialized tests or procedures not available at an authorized facility may be sought elsewhere and the workers’ comp insurance provider would have the responsibility of paying for this treatment.<\/p>\n When a family loses a loved one in a work-related accident or as the result of an occupational disease, the surviving spouse and\/or minor children may seek benefits under the workers’ compensation system. These benefits may include weekly cash benefits as discussed above, which would equal two-thirds of the worker’s average weekly wage from the year before the incident occurred. If there are no surviving family members, the estate or the worker may receive a sum totaling up to $50,000. Workers’ compensation may also cover funeral expenses, which may total up to $6,000 in Metropolitan New York counties and up to $5,000 in all other parts of the state.<\/p>\n Although the workers’ compensation system in New York provides the above benefits to injured workers and the families of workers who lose their lives in workplace accidents, this does not guarantee that every applicant will receive benefits or that these benefits will be paid in a fair and timely manner. Navigating the workers’ comp system can be difficult, particularly if an employer or insurance provider acts dishonestly or tries to delay or deny payment of a fair claim. Working with an attorney can make a difference. With an experienced attorney to properly file the workers’ comp claim and handle all necessary paperwork, hearings or appeals, the claimant can rest assured that his or her interests and rights are protected.<\/p>\n Napoli Shkolnik PLLC handles workers’ compensation claims, hearings and appeals for clients across New York from our headquarters in Manhattan.
