Understanding Workers’ Compensation
In Pennsylvania, workers’ compensation coverage is mandatory for most employers. Whether you work on a construction site or in an office, chances are your employer has workers’ compensation insurance.
Depending on the circumstances of your accident, you may be able to recover compensation for:
- Lost wages from time out of work
- Hospital bills
- Medical treatments and surgeries
- Ongoing therapies
- Future medical expenses
- Loss of potential income
Filing a Claim
Injured workers should always tell their employers about an injury as soon as possible, if they don’t they can run the risk of being ineligible of receiving benefits. To avoid this risk, injuries should be reported:
- Within the first 21 days to receive benefits from the date of your injury
- Within the first 120 days to maintain your right to benefits
Once an injury is reported your insurance carrier has 21 days to accept or deny your claim. Seeking workers’ compensation benefits can be a confusing and sometimes frustrating process that requires a lot of diligence and paperwork. Having a Norristown workers’ comp lawyer working with you can simplify and expedite the process.
If you have suffered any sort of injury at work – even if the injury initially seems mild – tell your employer and seek medical attention sooner rather than later. The longer you wait to begin the process, the more difficult it can be to obtain benefits.
