Is Workers' Compensation a Lawsuit Against My Employer?
A: NO.
WORKERS COMPENSATION IS ABSOLUTELY NOT A LAWSUIT AGAINST YOUR EMPLOYER! In fact, it is only a claim against an insurance policy that every employer (with some exceptions) in New York must purchase. This is a mandatory policy, like having automobile insurance.
In exchange for buying this policy, your employer is protected from lawsuits by employees. The real benefit here is that it allows injured workers:
- speedy medical care
- wage replacement benefits while out
- additional benefits for permanent injuries
- a safer work environment since employers premiums are based on the safety of their jobsite (the safer it is, the lower the employers premiums)
