Are Injuries At Company Sponsored Events Covered By NY Workers' Compensation?

YES!  Generally speaking, if you are injured while attending a company sponsored event in NY you will be covered by workers' compensation insurance.  But you must be mindful that the same usual exceptions, such as accidents as a result of alcohol intoxication, physical fighting, etc or if the injury occurs after the event has finished - all cases in which you may not be covered by comp.  Make sure you file a claim as soon as possible and if anyone is a witness to the accident get their contact information.  Witnesses are protected and your employer cannot retaliate against them for testifying in a comp claim.
