JENKINTOWN PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS
When it comes to filing for Pennsylvania workers’ compensation benefits, there are a few requisites that will determine if you are eligible to apply. Asking yourself a few quick questions about where you live or where your injury occurred can help get you started. While the answers do not wholly determine if you will receive compensation, it will help to determine where you should file for benefits.
- Where do you primarily work? If you work in Pennsylvania, you may be eligible to receive benefits in Pennsylvania.
- Where do you live? If you live in Pennsylvania, but work in another state full time, you might be eligible for Pennsylvania workers’ compensation benefits due to your residence.
- Where is your company based? If your company is based out of Pennsylvania, you may be eligible to apply for benefits in Pennsylvania.
