What Workplace Injuries And Job-Related Illnesses Are Covered?
The Pennsylvania workers’ compensation act covers a wide range of injuries and illnesses. Under Pennsylvania law, you have a compensable claim if you suffer a work injury while in the course of your employment. Additionally, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has also held employees have valid claims if their injuries are related to their employment.

What Must You Do To Help Win Big?
If you have been injured on the job or have developed a job-related illness, do not speak with your employer’s insurance company. They are not your friend, as they only care about protecting their bottom line. There are a few steps you should take to help a workers compensation lawyer win big for you:
1. File a LIBC-500 form…
Pennsylvania requires all employers to post a LIBC-500 form which contains the information for your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance carrier. It will also instruct you on providing notice of your injury to your employer, which is the first step in the workers’ compensation process. Under Pennsylvania law, you must notify your employer within 120 days of your injury or within 21 days of your injury to receive retroactive benefits.
2. Gather all of the information detailing your injury or illness.
The time following an accident is crucial to your claim, as evidence is readily available. You should attempt to collect witness statements and take photographs of the scene of the accident. You should also collect copies of your medical records and documentation of your lost wages.
3. Call Win Big Law
Retaining an experienced workers’ compensation attorney after your accident can help you avoid many legal and administrative roadblocks. Your employer’s insurance does not want you to speak with an attorney and instead wants to become overwhelmed by the workers’ compensation process and abandon your claim. At Win Big Law, we will thoroughly review the facts of your accident and work with you to build a strong workers’ compensation claim.
4. Take your medications and meet with your doctor
Recovering from your injuries should be your main priority following your accident. You should meet with your primary care provider to develop a treatment plan. It is important to follow your treatment plan and take medications prescribed to you to ensure the best possible outcome for your case.
FAQs About Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Claims
It is natural to have questions about Pennsylvania’s workers’ compensation process. We are here to help you and your family. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we get:
Do I need representation if my claim was denied?
Employers and insurance companies deny claims for a variety of reasons. They frequently argue injuries did not occur while an employee was working in the course of their employment, were not work-related, or resulted from misconduct. Having an experienced attorney on your side can greatly improve your chances of success when your case is heard by a Workers’ Compensation Judge and throughout the appeals process.
May I consult my doctor?
The answer is “it depends.” Under Pennsylvania Law, you must treat with your employer’s medical provider if they have pre-designated doctors who are within reasonable traveling distance. However, after 90 days, you can choose your own healthcare provider.
How long are workers’ compensation benefits paid out?
The length of time workers’ compensation benefits are paid out will depend on the specific circumstances of your case and injury. If you are unable to work and rated as temporarily totally disabled, you can collect benefits for 104 weeks under Pennsylvania Law before your employer can request an Impairment Rating Evaluation to determine if you remain disabled. If you are rated as permanently partially disabled, you can collect benefits for up to 500 weeks under Pennsylvania Law.
Are part-time and seasonal workers covered?
Yes. Pennsylvania Law broadly defines the term “employee.” Workers’ compensation generally covers part-time and seasonal workers in Pennsylvania.
What kind of settlement can I expect?
The amount of your settlement will depend on various factors, including the severity of your injury or illness and your average weekly wage. Under Pennsylvania’s workers’ compensation law, your attorney can negotiate a lump-sum settlement if you are willing to forgo any future medical benefits for your injury permanently. You may also want to consider a structured settlement which pays money out over time if you have concerns regarding how your settlement will be taxed.
