JENKINTOWN PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS

Getting hurt on the job in Pennsylvania is unfortunate. You are left with injuries and now you have to deal with the legalities surrounding workers’ compensation.

You need to notify your employer within 120 days of when the incident occurred that caused the injury.  Do not wait to report your injury in hopes that it is minor enough and will heal in a short amount of time. You have rights! Be sure to tell not only a union representative but also your supervisor.

Make sure that you employer creates an incident/accident report after you tell them about your injury.  If they do not make a report, and even if they say they will, you should keep track of the day you were injured and the day you reported said injury.  Keep a thorough and accurate list because this will help you later during your case.

Be sure to inform the Department of Labor and Industry within 15 days after your injury. The insurance company has to accept or deny your claim within 21 days.  So, it is critical that you report the injury to the Department of Labor and Industry as quickly as you can.
