When you are injured or become ill because of your job, you may be entitled to receive workers’ compensation benefits. Unfortunately, the workers’ compensation system can seem complex to a worker who has never had to make a claim before. There are strict deadlines and filing requirements that can make it difficult for workers to get benefits that they would otherwise qualify for. As a result, a worker who is injured or becomes ill on the job may not know where to turn to for the compensation they deserve.

Jackson Heights is a neighborhood in the northwestern corner of the borough of Queens in New York City, New York. From the colonial era to the early 1900s, Jackson Heights was known as Trains Meadow. During the New York City urban sprawl at the turn of the 20th century, the Queensboro Corporation bought over 300 acres of farmland and other undeveloped land and christened the area Jackson Heights, named for John C. Jackson, a Queens County businessman who was a descendant of one of the oldest families in Queens. The neighborhood was a planned development for middle- to upper-middle-income workers moving out of Manhattan. Jackson Heights’ growth continued until the 1950s. By the 1960s, Jackson Heights began changing into an ethnically diverse neighborhood, including professionals from Latin American and the Indian Subcontinent. In the 1980s, residents campaigned to have Jackson Heights recognized as a historic district. In recent years, Jackson Heights has again become a destination for middle-class families attracted by the neighborhood’s architecture and cultural diversity.
Generally speaking, an injured employee’s sole recourse against his or her employer for compensation for a work-related injury or illness is to file a workers’ compensation claim. Because workers’ compensation benefits are defined benefits that are paid no matter who was at fault for the worker’s injury (with limited exception), in exchange for these guaranteed benefits the worker gives up his or her right to file a personal injury claim against his or her employer. However, under certain circumstances an employee with a work-related injury or illness may be able to file a lawsuit against his or her employer, typically if the injury or illness was caused by the intentional actions or omissions or the gross negligence of the employer (for example, the employer refuses or knowingly fails to provide required safety equipment).
Under New York law, a worker who experiences an accident on the job has up to 30 days to report the accident to his or her employer; if the injury involves hearing loss, the worker has up to three months to report the injury. If the employee must file a workers’ compensation claim with the State Workers’ Compensation Board, he or she has up to two years from the date of a work-related injury injury or onset of symptoms or diagnosis of an occupational illness.
