Understanding Workers’ Compensation for Hand Injuries

If you suffered a work-related injury, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits under New York State workers’ compensation law. These benefits are designed to help injured workers receive medical treatment and recover from their injuries.

Workers’ compensation benefits may include:

Coverage for medical treatment and rehabilitation
Compensation payments for lost wages
A percentage of your average weekly wage
Permanent partial disability benefits if your injury results in lasting limitations
A compensation award depending on the severity of the injury

Most employees are covered by workers’ compensation insurance, meaning they may receive benefits without having to prove fault for the accident.

Filing a Workers’ Compensation Claim

If you are injured on the job, it is important to follow the correct steps in the workers’ compensation process.

The general claims process may include:

Reporting your injury to your employer as soon as possible
Seeking medical treatment for your work injury
Filing a claim with the workers’ compensation board
Working with your employer and the employer’s insurance company
Receiving a decision from the workers’ compensation board

The New York State agency responsible for handling claims will review your workers’ compensation case and determine eligibility for workers’ compensation benefits.

Some workers may also choose to contact a workers’ compensation attorney or compensation lawyer for help navigating the compensation system, especially in complex workplace injury cases.

Compensation Benefits After a Workplace Hand Injury

After a work-related accident, injured workers may qualify to receive compensation for their injuries. These benefits help support workers who experience lost wages or limitations caused by their injuries.

Benefits may include:

Compensation payments covering a portion of your lost wages
Coverage for medical treatment and rehabilitation
Permanent partial disability compensation is awarded if the injury results in lasting impairment
