Workers' Compensation
Find out what to do if you've been injured at work. Workers' compensation is also known as workman's compensation, workmen's compensation, or workman's comp.
By PA law, your employer must carry workers' compensation insurance in case you get injured on the job, become ill from something that happened at a job site, or if death results from a work injury. Benefits can include medical expenses, lost wages, and death benefits. Workers' compensation is a no-fault insurance system. Negligence on the part of the workers or employers is not an issue in paying benefits. Sometimes, however, there is a third party who may have been negligent and a separate action can be filed against this party.
As long as your injury is job related, it is covered.
A work related injury can range from your head to your toe. There are many types of work related injuries. Some of the common types of workers comp injuries are: broken or fractured bones, back or neck injury, wrist injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, eye injury, hearing loss, work induced heart attacks, reactions to toxic materials, breathing problems from exposure to asbestos, smoke inhalation, burns from hazardous materials, and scars. If you are unsure if your injury is covered, Contact Us and we can help you evaluate your claim.
