Episode 40: Penalties and No Coverage Exposure in New York Workers' Compensation Claims

Lois Law Firm — Mon, 20 Mar 2017 13:00:00 -0400

The New York Workers’ Compensation Board collects $3 Million per year in procedural penalties alone. This is a staggering figure - amounting to approximately $300 in penalty for each new case accepted by the WCB. New York is a form-driven jurisdiction, and most common penalties arise from the late filing of required boilerplate forms.

The Workers’ Compensation Law is a minefield of penalties, fines, and criminal complications for the unwary. There are different penalty considerations for employers, claimants, insurers, and even attorneys.

Lois Law Firm recently presented a webinar designed to help the attendee answer the following questions:

“What are the most common reasons employers/carriers are penalized in New York?”
“What are the exposures for non-coverage in New York?”
What other activity can draw a penalty, such as illegal employment?”
“What do I do about a penalty?”

Attorney Greg Lois covers the fundamentals and at the end of the presentation, the attendees will have a basic understanding of New York penalties and exposures in workers’ compensation cases.
