Workers' Compensation in New York
Statutory coverage for employee injury. Requirements, rates, and exemptions are set state by state.
What is different in New York
New York is a no-fault state with mandatory PIP and uninsured motorist coverage, and its bodily injury requirement rises to 50/100 where an accident causes death. Coastal Long Island carries hurricane deductibles and leans on NYPIUA; New York City policies are dominated by water damage and liability rather than wind.
