N.Y. Volunteer Firefighters' Benefit Law § 42: Reports of injuries, claims and proceedings

§ 42. Reports of injuries, claims and proceedings. If an injury is one

for which an insurance carrier might be liable under a contract of

insurance or a county plan of self-insurance might be required to pay,

the officer to whom a notice of injury is required to be delivered or

mailed and with whom the claim in relation to such injury is required to

be filed under the provisions of this chapter shall send a copy of such

notice and claim and a copy of any notice of a proceeding relating to an

injury or claim to such insurance carrier or county plan of

self-insurance, as the case may be, promptly after receiving the same.

The political subdivision liable for the payment of benefits under this

chapter shall keep such records and make such reports to the chairman of

the workmen's compensation board as required by section one hundred ten

of the workmen's compensation law, which by section fifty-seven of this

chapter is made applicable to this chapter. Failure to comply with the

provisions of this section shall not relieve such an insurance carrier

of liability or a county plan of self-insurance from its obligation to

pay.
