When suffering a work accident, depending on the severity of the incident and the injuries sustained, the worker may be entitled to receive a series of benefits, or even to obtain temporary disability that separates them for a time from their work tasks while they recover from their injuries.
In these cases the worker may be eligible as a possible beneficiary of the Paid Family Leave and Disability Benefits Law, which is the one that establishes each of the benefits that the employee can receive when temporarily disabled after suffering an accident in New York.
Each of these benefits will allow the worker to receive a portion of their salary during the period of disability, following a set of rules established by the aforementioned Law, with the purpose of allowing them to recover from their injuries without problems.

What injuries can lead to temporary disability in New York?
When a worker suffers an accident during their work hours or while performing a task related to their work, the Workers' Compensation Law is generally applied, which allows them to receive a series of economic benefits that help cover certain expenses arising from the accident, such as medical care, medications, etc. However, if the accident occurs outside the work environment, the worker can resort to the Paid Family Leave and Disability Benefits Law, in case the injuries sustained prevent them from returning to their work activities normally.
Some of the injuries that can lead to temporary disability are the following:
- Fractures from falls.
- Accidents from electrical discharge.
- Slip and fall injuries.
- Injuries to extremities such as legs, arms, shoulders, etc.
- Lung diseases.
- Injuries from vehicular accident while heading to work.
If you suffered any of these injuries, it is important that you seek immediate medical attention, so that a medical professional can determine whether you should be absent from your work activities temporarily, in order to achieve a quick and safe recovery.
