Workers’ compensation is a no fault system; if you are injured on the job, you’re entitled to benefits regardless of whether your employer’s negligence caused your injuries. The system aims to provide compensation for injured workers without focusing on who is to blame. Workers injured in Pennsylvania may be eligible for 3 types of compensation, depending on the nature and extent of the injuries: 1.medical expenses; 2.wage loss benefits; and 3.specific loss benefits.
In my opinion: I understand that getting hurt while on the job can be a traumatic and painful experience. That’s why it’s important to align yourself with the support you need from your family and friends. Securing a good legal team early on to help you through the process can help you come to a more positive resolution with your employer more quickly.
