What are Workers' Compensation Benefits in New York?

New York State law provides many different types of benefits for injured workers, which includes:
Cash Benefits: Cash benefits are 2/3 x average weekly wage x % of disability = weekly benefit. If you are earning $1000 per week and you are 100% disabled, you can receive $666.70 per week.
Medical treatment: Workers’ compensation insurance covers all workplace injuries or illness medical treatment.
Out of Pocket Expenses: Workers’ compensation insurance covers all out of pocket expenses related to employee injury. Costs covered are such as travel expenses to medical appointments and medicines.
Death Benefits: If the worker dies from a work-related injury, the surviving spouse and/or minor children, and lacking such, other dependents as defined by law, are entitled to weekly cash benefits. The amount is equal to two-thirds of the deceased worker’s average weekly wage for the year before the accident. The weekly compensation may not exceed the weekly maximum, despite the number of dependents.
