JENKINTOWN PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS

For individuals injured on the job in Pennsylvania, the road to workers’ compensation benefits can be filled with unexpected issues and hurtles.  These frustrations often mount up and make returning to work an even more difficult task.

Among the most difficult and frustrating hurtles injured Pennsylvanians often face is lack of communication with their employer and/or their insurance agency. According to research conducted by a national workers’ compensation provider, injured individuals often hire attorneys upon lack of communication from their employer. The frustrations of unreturned phone calls, missing paperwork and misinformation can lead to tensions that are difficult to ease. However, these tensions can be eased significantly by involving an attorney immediately after the injury.

Similarly, injured individuals seek legal representation after their claim has been unjustly denied. After denial, an individual has limited time frames with which to seek out legal counsel and appeal; all the while receiving treatment to recover from their injuries. Again, it is helpful to the injured individual to seek out the advice of an experienced Philadelphia workers’ compensation attorney before setbacks and confusion occurs. An initial meeting with an attorney can help plan around potential setbacks and attempt to avoid them altogether.

Being injured on the job when you least expect it can take a toll on your life and livelihood. Discussing your case with an experienced attorney will allow you to understand your rights as well as help you plan out your next steps. To discuss your case with a Philadelphia workers’ compensation attorney, call Mednick, Mezyk & Kredo at 215-545-1870 or 888-807-WORK (9675) today.
