True about NY.....
So many lawyer adds about accidents and work related issues.
I had a guy years ago..........worked for me like 3 weeks.....first HOT day in May......he deliberately sticks his hands into the discharge of a walkbehind......blades spinning..........Just to cut the tip of his finger.
2 days later he's at my house for me to fill out welfare, disabillity, workmans comp, school assistence for this kids.........about a dozen forms..........I offered to pay for the medical..........then after a week or two he could come back to work and just use a broom for another week..............No, no, no.............have to fill out the paper work..........Not my reponsibility to fill out his welfare paper work.
To make a long story shorter.........Workmans comp calls me.......they didn't receive an accident report.......I thought I didn't have to if I wanted to pay out of pocket for the medical and that if he wanted 2 weeks off that would be on his own time if he chose to.........he wouldn't collect the first 2 weeks on comp anyway..........OK so I sent in the paper work.
8 weeks later we see this guy........tell him he has to come back to work.......I call comp and the welfare lady that keeps calling about his refusal to work.
OK.......he was out from the first week in May........came back 1 week mid October and never saw him again.............till 6 years later.....
I got a workmans comp hearing for this guy...........turns out with his current employer where he twice while there in 18 or so months cut or reinjured tip of finger......I wasn't even supposed to be there.
Some people scam and play the system........no matter what safety program you implement.................There are those out there that seek out companies that have all the insurance......so they can scam there way not having to work.
