Injuries at work happen. Unlike the common sports injury, when you’re injured on the job in NY and NJ, you are required to go through extensive paperwork in order to make sure your medical care is covered through your employer’s compensation insurance – not your private health insurance.
In most cases, your private health insurance will not pay for a work-related accident. Because of this, there are certain steps you must follow when you are injured at work and need medical care:
1. Inform your employer. An employer will accept your claim within 30 days of your injury. Time is of the essence to ensure you can get medical treatment for your injury immediately – inform your employer as soon as possible. It is important you describe in detail the area(s) of your body affected to ensure those parts of your body are covered for evaluations and care.
2. Find a WC authorized doctor. In emergency cases, go to your nearest hospital first. Following discharge, or if you require care, be sure to find a doctor that accepts workers compensation insurance in your state, like the doctors in our network. This step is critical to ensure you are financially covered for medical care.
3. File your claim with the Workers’ Compensation Board. If you haven’t done so already, you are required to file a C-3 Employee Claim application with the workers’ compensation board for your state. Don’t worry, our team can help you with this process and we can ensure timely submission to get you the care you need and deserve.
The Pain & Injury Doctors in our network take a comprehensive approach to care and will communicate with your employer and the workers’ compensation board if you are not ready to get back to work. If you are receiving disability benefits while out of work, we will comply with your employer or insurance carrier’s requirements to provide the necessary documents timely, while you recover. Do you have a legal matter related to your compensation claim? Our doctors are willing to testify in court as experts when required.

The entire staff has been so caring and attentive. As a person who is going through an injury at work for the first time, I was clueless before I found you online. Thank you for helping me get through this difficult time and for making sure I didn’t have to get stuck with medical bills. I am glad to be back at work in better shape.
I have been to the office in Brighton Beach for the past few years. The doctor is knowledgeable, compassionate, patient-friendly–he spends as much time answering all your questions, so you understand what he’s going over with treatment plans that will work best for you. I love how convenient this location is, they have an elevator which was a plus for me with my wheelchair.
When I was working, the pain in my back used to really bother me. But after a few weeks with it still hurting and not going away like normal, I knew it was time to see a doctor. The moment we walked into his office everything changed – he helped me feel better almost immediately with just one visit. There are no words for how relieved and thankful I am.
I have been seeing Dr. Agarwal for the past few months, and I am pleased to say that he has helped me tremendously with my shoulder pain from an injury at work! He is very caring, attentive, and thorough – just what you want in your doctor nowadays! I would highly recommend him if anyone needs help managing their chronic conditions.
No one knows how hard it is to find a doctor that accepts workers compensation insurance in NY. I am so thankful that I found you online. Thank you for helping me figure this out!!!!!
The staff at this clinic are amazing! I was able to visit them 5 times in the past year because my back pain and knee were getting worse. My doctor has been a great help. So long as I need a pain management specialist, I will continue to visit them.
After my visit to the doctor, I can say that Pain and Injury doctors are amazing workers! They make you feel comfortable as soon as possible. The staff member who helped me was so nice about explaining every treatment they administered, and it made the nagging back pain go away immediately as well as my aggravated neck pain. If anyone needs an injury treated look no more because these guys will take care of all your needs.
