2006 New York Code - 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.
