In New York, gernally you have 2 years from the date of accident to file a workers compensation claim. Workers compensation would cover all of your medical bills if it was an on the job injury and you were in the "scope of your employment." The particulars of your case are vague as you have not provided enough facts to me. Contact me, Pasquale Calcagno, Esq., for a free consultation at 1(800)WE-FIGHT.
