How workers' comp is run in New York
New York's system is run by the New York State Workers' Compensation Board. The Board's page on how the system works sets out the worker's steps, and its file a claim page covers the Employee Claim, Form C-3.
In New York, the worker files the claim directly with the Board, separate from telling the employer. The Board's injured workers toolkit notes that employers must report the incident, but filing your own claim is helpful.
What to screen for in New York
Notice to the employer
The Board's page on how the system works says the worker must give written notice to the employer within 30 days of the accident. The file a claim page repeats the 30-day notice.
Filing with the Board
The Board's claimant forms page says Form C-3 is due within two years of the accident, or within two years after the worker knew or should have known the injury or illness was related to employment. The toolkit adds that a worker with a previous related or similar injury should also complete the Limited Health Release, Form C-3.3.
Doctor rules
The Board's how the system works page says that, except in emergencies, the worker must be treated by a provider authorized by the Board.

What every New York workers' comp lead includes
The injured worker fills in our form themselves. Each lead includes:
- Whether they were injured while working
- Employment status
- Injury date
- State and ZIP code
- Whether the injury was reported to the employer
- Medical treatment so far
- Injury details, in their own words
- Whether they already have an attorney
- An SMS-verified phone number
- A TrustedForm certificate
Leads that don't match your filters aren't sent. The TrustedForm certificate records the form session and the consent to be contacted, and the SMS check confirms the phone number. Our TrustedForm and lead verification guide explains how to read both.
