Where a New York employee’s job responsibilities included controverting workers’ compensation claims, his failure to notify his employer of an alleged work-related injury within the 30-day time period specified in N.Y. Workers’ Comp. Law § 18 was unexcused. The employee’s two-month delay in notifying the employer, coupled with the employee’s failure to produce a relevant medical report, was sufficient to justify the Board’s decision to deny his claim. While the employee testified that he sought medical care within four days of his alleged work-related incident, he could not produce any medical record of such treatment.
