Workers Compensation is a form of insurance that can provide you with wage replacement and medical benefits if you are injured on the job doing job-related activities. It covers things like medical expenses, hospital fees, and medication costs related to the injury sustained while on the job.
For drivers in New York, these compensation claims are filed with The Black Car Fund, with the help of a trusted workers compensation lawyer.
