JENKINTOWN PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS

Pennsylvania workers’ compensation is designed to help individuals who have been injured or become sick due to conditions or environment in the workplace. When awarded, workers’ compensation benefits can assist the injured with their medical bills and lost wages.

Workers’ compensation benefits are designed to assist the injured with the following:

• Medical treatment – including emergency medical care, follow-up treatment, doctors’ visits, physical therapy and transportation expenses
• Lost wages – oftentimes on the job injuries result in missed time at work. Workers’ compensation benefits will typically pay approximately 66.67% of an injured worker’s average weekly earnings with a cap around two years.
• Permanent impairment – when work-related injuries and illnesses result in a permanent physical impairment that prohibits them from returning to their previous position, workers’ compensation can help alleviate the financial strain for the injured party’s family.
• Vocational rehabilitation services – if an injury requires an individual to change jobs or work fields, many states will assist with job training or education to assist in the transition.
• Death benefits – workers’ compensation benefits can help a deceased individual’s family pay for funeral expenses as well as a lump-sum payment.

Workers’ compensation benefits and rules vary from state-to-state and can often be denied for unjust reasons. If you or have been injured on the job, experienced legal representation can help you obtain the maximum compensation you deserve.
