Workplace injuries or occupational diseases that occur during the scope of employment can have devastating consequences on not only the injured worker but his or her family. Pennsylvania has a Workers' Compensation Act that can be extremely complex with laws that change on a regular basis. If you were injured while working you may be entitled to compensation. Under the Workers' Compensation Act, your employer may be responsible for your medical bills and wage loss. Should you be hurt at work or believe you have an occupational disease, immediately report your injury to your employer and supervisor. Go to a Physician/Doctor and seek medical treatment. You may go to a Physician of your choice unless your employer has posted a list of at least six panel Physicians to treat work injuries. Provide the Physician with a detailed outline of how you were hurt at work and follow the Physician's treatment plan. If you are treating with your employer's panel Physician, you must continue treatment for the first 90 days. Within 21 days of reporting your injury, your employer is required to provide you with a Notice of Workers' Compensation Denial or Temporary Notice of Compensation Payable. If you receive a Denial Notice, immediately, contact our office and schedule a Free Consultation.
