What is Workers' Compensation?
Pennsylvania passed the Workers’ Compensation Act in 1915. The Workers’ Compensation Act created a no-fault insurance scheme which provides workers’ compensation benefits to employees who have been injured or become ill due to their job. As employees do not have to prove fault, they are still eligible for workers’ compensation benefits even if their negligence caused their injuries.

Who Can Get Workers Compensation?
Under Pennsylvania, legally defined employees, i.e., full-time, part-time, and seasonal employees, are eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. Employees are eligible for workers’ compensation benefits if they suffer injuries while in the course of their employment. Generally, independent contractors and volunteers cannot claim workers’ compensation benefits.
4 Types of Workers' Compensation Claims in Pennsylvania
The Workers’ Compensation Act was passed to combat the growing social problem created by workplace accidents. In short, injured workers were forced to rely on their families, charity, and public benefits for medical care and economic support. The benefits available from workers’ compensation insurance address all of these issues.
The Next Steps For Win Big to Fight for Your Claim
If you have suffered a work-related injury, there are important steps you should take to ensure you receive the workers' compensation you deserve. Specifically, you should document the facts surrounding your accident by collecting witness statements and taking photographs of the accident's location and injuries. Additionally, you should contact a workers ' compensation attorney for a free consultation before speaking with your employer's workers' compensation insurance company.
Report Your Injury To Your Employer
The first step in pursuing a workers’ compensation claim is to report your injury or illness to your employer. Pennsylvania law requires you to report your injury within 120 days of your accident. If you fail to report your injury, you cannot pursue your workers’ compensation claim.
File a LIBC-100
To formally file a workers’ compensation claim in Pennsylvania, you must prepare and submit a LIBC-100 form. This can be a complex and intimidating process. To avoid common mistakes, you should retain an aggressive workers’ compensation lawyer.
See your Doctor
After a workplace injury or illness, seeking medical attention as soon as possible is important. Under Pennsylvania law, you must treat with a doctor approved by your employer for the first 90 days following your accident. Following this initial 90-day waiting period, you should see your own doctor to ensure you receive the care you need to recover and obtain documentation for your workers’ compensation claim.
