What is Workers' Compensation?

Workers' compensation is a type of medical insurance in which workers give up their right to sue their employers in exchange for coverage for injuries incurred in the course of ordinary employment. Essentially, workers' compensation is a safety net for employees who sustain injury on the job, either acute injury or chronic injury such as those caused by repetitive stress or repeated exposure to toxic chemicals. Employers have an obligation to provide a safe workplace for their employees, and workers' compensation encourages adherence with standards set forth by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) and other bodies.

Do I qualify for Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation?

Workers' compensation coverage depends on your occupation, your employer, and the circumstances of your case. If it can be proven that your injury occurred on the job in the course of normal work duties, you could qualify for compensation that pays for the costs of medical expenses, hospitalizations, rehabilitation, physical therapy, and other expenses. But obtaining the workers' compensation coverage you deserve for your injury isn't always that simple. To make sure you get the best possible compensation for your illness or injury, it could be to your benefit to retain an experienced, reputable workers' compensation lawyer.
