NEW YORK WORKERS’ COMP – OPEN CLAIM HELP
Keep your New York comp claim on track.
Practical help with records, work restrictions, light duty, and the small gaps that can stall an open claim.
Managing your open claim
The work is mostly timing and documentation. Keep the record clear, and the next step gets easier to handle.
Keep it organized
Hold your own file: a contact log, wage records, appointment notes, and a copy of every form and letter.
Restrictions and light duty
Match any offered task to your written limits, and document light-duty work and any change in capacity.
Avoid interruptions
Missed appointments, an unreported address change, or a gap in treatment can stall a claim. Stay ahead of them.
Claim-maintenance slips to avoid
- Letting weeks pass with no treatment on the record
- Taking a light-duty job that does not match your written restrictions
- Not giving the Board and carrier a new address
- Missing an appointment or IME without rescheduling
- Returning to full duty without updated restrictions in writing
