WORKERS' COMPENSATION INFORMATION
ALL WORK-RELATED ACCIDENTS MUST BE REPORTED IMMEDIATELY TO:
1. Your Supervisor
2. The Office of Health Services (Room A-108)

In the event of a work-related injury, illness or accident you should inform your
department supervisor(s), and the Office of Health Services. The Office of Health
Services, once contacted, 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 the Office of Health Services.
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

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.
