New York Workers' Compensation Claims with Multiple Body Part Injuries

A subset of assembled workers' compensation claims from New York, beginning in 2000, enhanced with lists of coded and decoded body parts for each injury. The dataset is provided by data.ny.gov and was last updated on March 23, 2026. Each row represents a single claim, with fields detailing the accident and the specific body parts affected.

Use Cases

Strengths
