§ 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 or volunteer ambulance company liable for the  payment of benefits under this chapter shall keep such records and  make  such  reports  to  the  chairman  of  the workers' compensation board as  required by section one hundred ten of the  workers'  compensation  law,  which  by section fifty-seven of this article 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.
