The early part of a New York comp claim looked much more manageable when I thought of it as separate checkpoints on a calendar. Day 0 is mostly when treatment happened, instead of trying to remember it weeks later. After that, I started tracking the first week away from work and what the doctor said about work status. The first-month timeline gets less obvious when the injury happens on a weekend, because people can confuse the last day of the window. The countdown is easier to follow when the important steps leave a dated record: a screenshot can turn a remembered date into a real record. The item I kept at the end of the timeline was https://firstclaimsteps.com/injured-at-2-am-saturday-when-your-30-day-notice-deadline-actually-begins/ because it covered one piece of the early countdown.
