How Long Do You Have to Report an Injury at Work in NY? by Keetick L. Sanchez If you’ve been injured at work in Queens, New York, understanding your rights under New York’s Workers’ Compensation Law is essential. In this video, attorney Keetick L. Sanchez of K L Sanchez Law Office, P.C. explains what injured workers need to know about the reporting process, claim deadlines, and available benefits. From construction accidents in Long Island City to repetitive strain injuries in Jackson Heights, workers across Queens face many challenges after a workplace injury. This guide will help you stay informed and take the right steps toward receiving the benefits you’re entitled to. K L Sanchez Law Office, P.C. 37-06 82nd St #304, Jackson Heights, NY 11372, United States (646) 701-7990 https://accidentlawyer-queens.com/how... https://www.google.com/maps?cid=27296... Under New York Workers' Compensation Law § 18, you must report your injury to your employer within 30 days of the incident. This notice starts the claims process and ensures your right to benefits is preserved. After reporting, you have two years to file a formal claim with the Workers’ Compensation Board, as outlined in WCL § 28. Missing these deadlines can lead to a denial of benefits unless certain exceptions apply. For example, if your employer already knew about the incident or if you were physically unable to report it, the Board may excuse a delay. Keetick L. Sanchez has worked with injured workers throughout Queens, including neighborhoods like Jamaica, Jackson Heights, and Long Island City. She handles every part of the claim process, from initial injury reports to hearings at the Queens District Office, located at 168-46 91st Avenue in Jamaica. Whether you were hurt at JFK Airport, on a construction site, or in a warehouse, understanding how to protect your rights is key. Delaying your report can hurt your case, even if the injury seems minor at first. Many workers avoid reporting due to fear of retaliation, but timely action often makes the difference in securing benefits. If your condition is an occupational disease—such as carpal tunnel syndrome or illness due to long-term exposure to harmful substances—the two-year filing deadline begins when you become aware the condition is work-related. Workers who receive treatment at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center on Van Wyck Expressway or Elmhurst Hospital Center on Broadway should inform the medical staff that their injury is job-related. This creates a medical record that supports the workers' compensation claim. Once you begin receiving temporary disability benefits, you must follow the 90-day rule. This means seeing a doctor at least every 90 days to maintain your eligibility. These medical updates confirm your ongoing disability status. Without them, your wage replacement benefits may be suspended. The treating physician must be authorized by the Workers' Compensation Board or part of the insurance carrier’s network, depending on the situation. The team at K L Sanchez Law Office helps workers recover medical benefits, wage replacement, travel reimbursement, and vocational rehabilitation services. These benefits are essential for anyone unable to return to their previous job. Forms like C-2F, C-3, and C-257 are all part of the process, and Keetick L. Sanchez walks clients through each one to ensure nothing is overlooked. For a free consultation, call K L Sanchez Law Office at (646) 701-7990.
