A workplace injury can be frightening. You wonder if you can keep working. You hope you can pay your medical bills. Fortunately, Pennsylvania workers' compensation laws provide payments to workers who have been injured on the job. You may have tripped in the lunchroom, developed carpal tunnel syndrome or been injured by a piece of equipment. Even if the accident was your fault, workers' comp will cover your medical expenses and replace a portion of your wages if you cannot work after suffering injuries in a workplace accident.

Why you need an attorney

Sometimes, the employer's insurance carrier may contest a claim or offer to pay you less than you are entitled to. That's where we come in. We consult with medical specialists so we can understand the impact of the injury on your life. We build a strong case for full compensation under the workers' compensation law.

What a third-party claim can provide

When your workplace injury was the result of negligence or misconduct by a third party — in other words, someone who was not your employer — you may be able to claim additional compensation through a personal injury claim. Examples of such cases include a driver who hits a salesperson on the road, a subcontractor who injures a worker on a construction site, or a delivery van driver who causes an accident at the factory or the manufacturer of a piece of faulty equipment. These are all third parties who do not work for your employer and can be held liable for the injuries they cause. The injured person can often receive compensation for pain and suffering and other damages not covered by workers' compensation. If you have suffered any type of workplace injury, contact an experienced lawyer who can advise you about your right to receive compensation. Call 717-769-4107.
