In the event of a work-related injury, illness or accident you
should inform your department supervisor(s), the Public Safety
Office and should also contact medical personnel (if needed).
In addition, you must notify The Office of Human Resources.
Once contacted,
our Office will provide you with the necessary work-related injury/illness
reporting forms. These forms, required by the New York State
Workers’ Compensation
Board, should be completed and promptly returned to our Office.
Once received, we will forward them to the College’s WC insurance
carrier, The City of New York Law Department, Workers Compensation
Division.
Upon receipt of your forms, The City Law Department will make
a determination as to the compensability of your claim and will
notify you directly of their decision. If your claim is deemed
compensable, you will receive from them, a “Carrier Case
Number”. All parties who have treated you should enter your
Carrier Case Number and your Social Security number on all of their
bills. Their bills, together with the appropriate Workers’ Compensation
forms should be sent directly to:
The City of New York Law Department
Workers’ Compensation Division
350 Jay Street 9th Floor
Brooklyn, New York 11201
(718) 222-5100
IMPORTANT: Not all hospitals and/or doctors are willing to accept
Workers’ Compensation
cases. In so that the appropriate party may be charged, before treatment is
given to you, it is necessary that you tell your medical provider(s) that your
injury/illness is work-related. It is also important that you give to your
medical provider(s) the name, address and telephone number of our WC insurance
carrier provided above. If you’ve already received medical bills from
an emergency room, hospital and/or doctor, you should forward them immediately
to The City of New York Law Department, Workers’ Compensation Division
for payment.
