We Stand By You: Challenges Of Workers’ Comp In PA
Work injuries bring more than just physical pain. They disrupt income, daily routines, and peace of mind. At a time when everything feels uncertain, you need someone who will stand by your side. Our team of Pennsylvania workers’ compensation attorneys offer that support—every step of the way.
From filing claims to managing medical appointments, injured workers often face an uphill battle. We do more than represent you. We fight for the benefits and justice you deserve.
What Should You Do After A Work Injury?
Report The Injury Right Away
After a work injury, tell your employer. Pennsylvania law gives you 120 days to report the injury, but waiting can cause delays—or claim denials. Prompt reporting creates a clear record, helping support your claim.
You should notify a supervisor or manager and follow up in writing. Include the date, time, and how the injury happened. Even if the pain seems minor and the medical condition does not seem serious, reporting early protects your rights.
What Kind Of Medical Care Can You Expect?
Under Pennsylvania workers’ comp law, your employer may require you to see a doctor from an approved list for the first 90 days. After that period, you can choose your own doctor.
You do not have to pay out-of-pocket for care related to your work injury. The workers’ compensation insurance should cover your treatment, including:
- Hospital visits
- Surgery
- Physical therapy
- Prescription medications
- Diagnostic tests
Our team ensures your workers’ compensation claim gets you access to proper care from the start.
What Types Of Disability Benefits Am I Entitled To?
Unlike personal injury cases, workers’ compensation cases do not pay pain and suffering. In a workers’ comp case, you receive two types of benefits. You may receive benefits for wage loss (based on your average weekly wage) and medical benefits.
If your injury keeps you from working, comp acts like a disability insurance. You may qualify for wage-loss benefits to replace a portion of your income while you recover. Two main types:
Temporary Total Disability Benefits(TTD)
For injuries that prevent all work temporarily.
Partial Disability Benefits
For injuries that reduce your ability to earn as much as before.
In addition to wage-loss benefits, you might receive:
Specific Loss Benefits
For permanent damage to a specific body part like losing a finger, hand, or vision.
Scarring And Disfigurement Benefits
If the injury causes visible scars on the face or neck.
We will help you calculate to claim every dollar you deserve.
What If Your Claim Gets Denied?
Denials happen often, but experienced workers’ comp lawyers can help. Common reasons for denied claims include missed deadlines, lack of medical evidence, or employer disputes.
We handle the appeal process for you. This includes:
- Gathering medical records
- Consulting experts
- Representing you at hearings
- Filing timely appeals with the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board
With our firm on your side, you will not have to face the system alone.
Why Choose A Workers’ Compensation Lawyer?
Can You file A Claim Without A Lawyer?
You can—but you risk missing out on benefits or making mistakes that cost you down the line.
The PA Division of Labor and Industry oversees the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation. This area of law has specific rules and strict timelines that often require an experienced lawyer to handle. Employers and insurers have their own legal teams and so should you.
We bring experience, negotiation skills, and deep knowledge of PA law. Our lawyers handle the paperwork, communicate with insurers, and stand up for your rights.
How Do Legal Fees Work?
Unlike most lawyers that charge hourly fees or flat fees, we work on contingency fees. This means you pay nothing unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of the benefits we recover—never out-of-pocket.
We provide a free and confidential consultation. We listen, answer your questions, and explain your rights clearly. From the first call to the final resolution, we stand by you.

It means appearing in courtrooms, handling negotiations, and guiding you through every twist in the process. It means we care not only about winning your case, but also about helping you move forward.
Injuries can shake your confidence and threaten your future. We stand by you when others turn their backs.
