JENKINTOWN PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS

Yes, but you need to move quickly. The statute of limitations can quickly run out on a Philadelphia workers’ compensation claim, so it is important to move quickly and involve a lawyer as soon as possible.

First, you are required to have filed an accident report with your employer as soon as the accident happened; however, if you have not yet, do so immediately or risk losing your right to receive Pennsylvania workers’ compensation benefits. Typically, the state will allow up to 120 days after the incident to file an accident report, but know that that is often the absolute maximum.

Seeking treatment is also imperative to filing your workers’ compensation claim.  Medical support of your injuries and treatment will illustrate not only your desire to heal, but also the severity of your injuries and inability to return to work.  Even if you are able to return to work, you may receive compensation for lost wages and medical bills.

With your timeline for filing a claim closing quickly, it’s vital to contact a legal resource as soon as possible to help assist you with the details of your claim.  The experienced Philadelphia workers’ compensation attorneys at Mednick, Mezyk & Kredo will help identify the information needed to support your case for a successful claim.  For a free consultation to discuss your situation call our office today at 215-545-1870 (9675).
