N.Y. Workers' Compensation Law § 314: Claim filing

§ 314. Claim filing. The right to compensation including medical care

and funeral expenses under the provisions of this article shall be

barred unless written claim is filed with the chairman within ninety

days after injury or, if death results therefrom, within ninety days

after death; except that if death shall occur more than one year after

the injury, the right shall be barred unless prior written claim based

on the injury has been timely filed. If disability or death is caused by

a disease that is included among the diseases enumerated in section

forty, then the claim may be filed within the time and in the manner

provided in section forty.

Failure to file written claim as required may be excused by the

chairman on the ground that, for good and sufficient reason, claim could

not be filed on time.
