A New York Workers’ Compensation Webinar

COVID-19 and New York Workers’ Compensation: Your Questions Answered

This video is from a live webinar that took place on: Monday, March 23, 2020 at 12:00 pm & 3:00 pm EST

This webinar discusses how potential coronavirus claims are handled under the New York Workers’ Compensation Law! We will answer your questions LIVE!

Some of the questions we will answer include:

What are the state’s laws regarding the compensability of exposure to the virus? When would it be covered, when would it not be covered?
If an employee tests positive and an employer shuts down work for two weeks for quarantine, is there any WC coverage afforded to quarantined employees who are not sick with the virus?
If an employee tests positive, does the WC policy cover the employer testing employees for the virus?

We represent insurance carriers, self-insured employers, third party claim administrators, and employers before the New York State Workers' Compensation Board. We handle cases from cradle-to-grave. We want to be by your side, moving cases aggressively to closure from the start of litigation all the way through to settlement.

We only assign one attorney and one paralegal to each case. This means that your team members always have one contact to go to for any questions. We do not have 'hearing attorney' or a 'negotiation attorney' or 'appeal department' or anything else! All of our attorneys handle all of those roles – meaning cases are not 'passed around' as they move through the litigation process. Your risk professional or adjuster always knows who is assigned – because the attorney does not change.
