Informations utiles concernant les blessures et les maladies li\u00e9es au travail<\/h2>\n

Compte tenu du temps que l'adulte moyen qui travaille passe sur le lieu de travail ou dans l'exercice de ses fonctions, il n'est pas \u00e9tonnant que 2010 ait vu plus de trois millions de maladies et de blessures non mortelles dans le seul secteur priv\u00e9 (selon les statistiques pr\u00e9sent\u00e9es par le Bureau des statistiques du travail<\/a>). Heureusement, les travailleurs bless\u00e9s peuvent \u00eatre couverts par l'indemnisation des travailleurs<\/a>, which offers benefits for lost earnings and medical expenses for work-related injuries and occupational diseases. You can learn more about workers’ comp by reviewing the frequently asked questions included below:<\/p>\n

What is workers’ compensation?<\/h3>\n

Workers’ compensation is a system wherein employers are required to cover, or provide insurance that covers, medical expenses and lost earnings for employees’ work-related injuries and illnesses.<\/p>\n

Dois-je prouver que quelqu'un d'autre a caus\u00e9 mes blessures?<\/h3>\n

One of the main advantages of workers’ compensation is that the injured worker does not need to prove that someone else was at fault for his or her injuries. The only requirement is that the injury is related to the worker’s job duties or occurred at work.<\/p>\n

Qu'est-ce qu'une maladie professionnelle ? Comment savoir si ma maladie est couverte ?<\/h3>\n

An occupational disease is a medical condition caused by the victim’s place of employment or job duties. Some examples may include m\u00e9soth\u00e9liome<\/a> caus\u00e9 par exposition \u00e0 l'amiante<\/a> dans les usines de fabrication, poumon noir chez les mineurs de charbon et empoisonnement au plomb affectant les travailleurs qui manipulent du plomb ou des compos\u00e9s de plomb.<\/p>\n

Quels sont les types courants d'accidents du travail?<\/h3>\n

Les chutes sont l'un des types les plus courants d'accidents du travail, avec 208 470 cas signal\u00e9s rien qu'en 2010 (selon le Bureau of Labor Statistics). D'autres incidents courants comprennent glisser et tomber<\/a> accidents, accidents de voiture, blessures dues \u00e0 la chute d'objets et accidents caus\u00e9s par de la machinerie lourde, des outils ou de l'\u00e9quipement.<\/p>\n

Ma blessure sera-t-elle couverte m\u00eame si j'en \u00e9tais responsable ?<\/h3>\n

Your on-the-job injury should be covered by workers’ compensation even if you were responsible, as long as you did not act intentionally to cause harm or were not under the influence of alcohol or drugs.<\/p>\n

Am I entitled to workers’ comp benefits if I lost a loved one in an on-the-job accident?<\/h3>\n

Families of workers who have lost their lives in work-related accidents or from occupational diseases may be entitled to benefits for funeral costs and lost earnings. This compensation can make a significant difference in a family’s ability to face a more stable financial future.<\/p>\n

Que dois-je faire si j'ai \u00e9t\u00e9 bless\u00e9 au travail?<\/h3>\n

If you have been injured at work, make sure you inform your manager or supervisor right away. Seek medical treatment (except in emergency situations, you must obtain treatment from a medical provider authorized by the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board). You must also inform your employer, in writing, of what occurred. If you wait too long to tell your employer, you may lose the right to workers’ comp benefits. You will need to file a claim for workers’ compensation benefits, which you can do on your own or with the help of an attorney. You may find it helpful to involve an attorney early in the process, as filing a claim and seeking benefits can be complex.<\/p>\n

Dois-je faire appel \u00e0 un avocat pour g\u00e9rer ma r\u00e9clamation ?<\/h3>\n

You are not required to hire an attorney to handle your workers’ compensation claim. However, filing a claim and securing fair benefits can be difficult, particularly if your employer or the workers’ comp insurance company tries to deny that your injuries are work-related. An attorney can ensure your rights are protected, can help expedite the process by properly filing your claim and can help if any issues should arise, such as a denial.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
