What Workers' Compensation Covers

Under Pennsylvania workers’ compensation law, employers must provide their employees with workers’ compensation insurance. Additionally, Pennsylvania is a no-fault state, which means injured workers don’t have to prove their injuries were the employers’ fault — they can receive workers’ compensation benefits for any injury sustained while working. Workers’ compensation insurance protects workers in Bensalem and beyond from financial hardship after a workplace accident. 

Bills for Medical Treatment

Medical bills in the United States can be a huge financial burden. In the state of Pennsylvania, medical bills incurred as a result of a work injury must be covered by your employer, including: 
  • Medical treatment related to your injury
  • Doctor’s visits 
  • Hospital stays
  • Physical therapy
To ensure your expenses are covered, you must see an employer-designated physician for the first 90 days after your injury when you file a workers’ compensation case. After that, you may choose your own healthcare providers for the remainder of your workers’ compensation case.

Lost Wages

To compensate for lost wages while you’re unable to work, you can apply for one of two different workers’ compensation wage replacement benefits, including: 

  • Temporary total disability (TTD): If you cannot work due to your injury, TTD will pay ⅔ of your average weekly salary while you recover. 
  • Temporary partial disability (TPD): If you are able to work part-time, TPD will help bridge the gap between your full-time wage and your new partial wage.

Benefits for Permanent Disability

Certain injuries may result in a permanent physical or psychological disability, which may mean you’re eligible for substantial disability benefits. The amount of compensation you’re eligible for depends on the extent of your disability and your salary before sustaining your injuries. The disability attorneys at Win Big can help you determine how much you’re entitled to and advocate for you to receive it. 

Death Benefits

In the tragic event that your family member passes away because of a workplace incident, you are likely entitled to death benefits under Pennsylvania state law. This compensation can help relieve the financial burden of lost income, funerary expenses, and other related costs. How much compensation you receive is determined by your relationship to the deceased and the number of children they had.

Win Big Lawyers Fights for Your Workers' Comp Benefits

Insurance companies stay in business and make a profit by receiving more payments than they award. This means they’re heavily invested in paying out as little workers’ compensation as possible — and they have many methods of denying you the funds you deserve. 

At Win Big Law in Bensalem, Penn., we understand the complexities of filing a workers’ compensation claim and can handle most of the process for you. From gathering information to completing, filing, and appealing, we’ll support you through every step of the claims process. 

Insurance Companies Have More Time and Money (Than You)

Insurance companies employ teams of claims adjusters and lawyers whose job is to protect their company’s bottom line by denying your claim. Our Bensalem workers’ compensation lawyers are here to help you navigate the bureaucracy and red tape that stands between you and your compensation benefits. Our workers’ compensation lawyers will advocate tirelessly for the funds you need to compensate for your injuries.

What Injuries Did You Suffer on the Job?

Countless circumstances can cause various workplace injuries, from broken bones and occupational disease to psychological trauma. When these events occur, the workers’ compensation attorneys at Win Big Law are ready to help you file your workers’ compensation claim and advocate for you to receive the maximum compensation. Below is a list of the illnesses and injuries covered under no-fault workers’ compensation in Bensalem. 

Musculoskeletal injuries

Contusions, lacerations, head trauma?

Head injuries, lacerations, and contusions can be caused by a variety of workplace accidents. Head trauma, in particular, can have a lasting effect on a person that may completely change how they live. Seeking workers’ compensation can help ensure these workers get the continuous treatment they need to recover. 

Traumatic injuries

Broken bones, sprained joints?

Workers who slip and fall or are struck by heavy falling objects are at serious risk of breaking a bone or injuring their joints. These kinds of injuries usually require weeks — or even months — of healing and rehabilitation before individuals can go back to work. Workers’ compensation benefits can cover medical bills and other expenses while workers recuperate. 

Occupational illnesses

Occupational Diseases?

Certain occupations carry the risk of developing an occupational disease due to exposure to certain substances, environments, or circumstances. If you’ve recently developed a new health condition and believe it to be related to your occupation, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits.  

Mental health conditions

Mental Health Trauma?

According to Pennsylvania state law, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation funds for psychological trauma sustained in the workplace such as stress or anxiety. Valid mental health compensation claims include: 

  • Physical injuries that resulted in lasting psychological trauma
  • Excessive amounts of job-related mental stress resulting in a physical injury
  • Workplace-related psychological stress causes a chronic mental health condition

The Steps Towards Having Win Big to Fight for You

When it comes to workplace injuries, time is of the essence. There are specific actions you can take immediately following your injury to reinforce your workers' compensation claim and increase your chances of getting the damages you deserve.  These actions include: 

1.  Document the accident in writing — the more detail, the better
2.  Photograph your injuries and the area where the accident occurred
3.  Record the names and contact information of anyone who witnessed the incident
4.  Give the above information to your Bensalem, Pennsylvania workers' compensation attorney

The steps above are prudent but not legally necessary. Below is a detailed list of the legal actions you must take to file your workers' compensation claim. 

Injuries sustained in the workplace must be reported to your employer immediately. It’s also prudent to speak with a Pennsylvania workers’ compensation lawyer as soon as possible. You have 120 days from the date of your injury to file a claim — after that point, your claim will be rejected. 

In the State of Pennsylvania, workplace injuries must be reported to the Pennsylvania Bureau of Workers’ Compensation via form LIBC-100. The form must be completed with the name and contact information of your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance provider. The workers’ compensation lawyers at Win Big Law can help you file this form correctly. 

After sustaining an injury, it’s essential to schedule a doctor’s appointment to obtain the proper care. Appointments that fall within the first 90 days after your injury must be with your employer’s designated medical provider. Once the 90-day period is over, you can schedule medical appointments with your preferred physician. 

If you’ve been injured on the job, contact Win Big Law today to discuss your case. Our workers’ compensation lawyers have decades of experience navigating the complex world of workplace injury claims, and they’re ready to help you obtain the financial relief you need to support your recovery.
