JENKINTOWN PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS

A concerning issue has emerged with the newly revamped Pennsylvania online workers’ compensation filing system. The new system aims to make filing for, appealing, and checking in on decisions easier, quicker and more streamlined. However, the recent roll out has been anything but.

The new system has caused a severe delay in uploading important documents to the system and, in some cases, caused paperwork to disappear entirely. As of October 21^st, when the problems were brought to the forefront, the state Department of Labor and Industry is actively seeking out a solution to the glitches. The agency’s spokeswoman, Sara Goulet, explained that glitches like these are common among big, new online systems, but will ultimately make the paperwork process more efficient.

The glitches and problems with the system has resulted in injured workers being unable to schedule hearings and in a few cases, miss notification of decisions on their case entirely. As workers’ compensation attorneys in Pennsylvania, this is extremely unsettling for the clients that we seek to serve.
