What should I do if I'm injured on the job?
If I'm injured on the job, should I use my personal health insurance when I go to the doctor?
What happens if I am disabled and incapable of working due to an injury incurred on the job?
I may not know for several days if I will have to take an extended disability leave but in the meantime I am out of the show. When can I file for SWCI? Can I have SWCI if I do not take a leave of absence? What paperwork do I need ? How do I file it?
I was injured and my sick days were used. Can I get those back?
My doctor says I need to be out of work for six-eight weeks (or any period of time longer than one-two weeks). Now what?
I was injured on my way to work from the provided housing but not actually in the theater. Am I covered?
I’ve gone to my personal physician for laryngitis. He says I have vocal strain and need to be on vocal rest. How do I file for Workers’ Comp and SWCI? Will the fact that I have already seen my doctor impact my ability to prove my case?
I am injured on the job. I know I have to fill out an accident report form (known as a C-2 in NY State), but from whom do I get it and with whom do I file it ? Do I need more than one copy to file with other people/agencies ?
Does the “waiting week” mean that I must wait one week to file, or that I may file immediately but benefits don’t “kick in” for one week? Does this week get tacked on to the end of my claim?
What should I do if my injury occurred in a different state from my permanent residence ?
Should I report repetitive stress injuries?
Will Workers' Compensation assist with payments for chiropractic care?
I have to go to the emergency room from the theatre immediately following my injury. My claim is not yet opened so what insurance information do I give to the hospital regarding my payment ?
I’ve returned the Supplemental Coverage Packet to Equity and my doctor has submitted the Physician’s Statement. What do I do now?
This is all fine and great, but let’s talk cash. How much money can I get? Is this even worth the bother?
I was injured a few months ago and am still out of work. I had no idea I could do all this. Is there anything I can do now?
I got an email or a phone call about an ‘Injury/Illness Report Follow-Up.’ What’s that?
