Eligibility Requirements for Workers Compensation
To be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits in Lansdale or the surrounding areas in Pennsylvania, you must be an employee as defined by Pennsylvania law. Further, your injury must have occurred while you were in the course of your employment. While workers’ compensation is not fault-based, you may be precluded from obtaining benefits if your injury resulted from your being intoxicated or committing an illegal act.
The 4 Types of Workers' Compensation Claims in PA
Workers’ compensation benefits in Pennsylvania are designed to provide financial support and medical care after a work-related injury or illness. Because these benefits can be significant, insurance companies often challenge valid claims, making legal guidance especially important.
How Were You Injured on the Job?
Workplace injuries aren’t always obvious or immediate. Pennsylvania workers’ compensation covers a wide range of physical and psychological conditions that occur at work or develop over time. Common work-related injuries include:
Broken Bones & Sprained Joints
Head Trauma, Contusions, or Lacerations
Occupational Illnesses
Work-Related Mental Health Conditions
What Can Go Wrong With a Workers’ Compensation Claim in Pennsylvania?
Even valid workers’ compensation claims in Lansdale can face challenges under Pennsylvania law—especially when injuries require ongoing treatment or time away from work. Insurance companies may dispute claims, delay payments, or limit the benefits you receive.
Common issues include:
- Denied or delayed claims due to disputes over how the injury occurred
- Stopped or reduced wage loss benefits before you are able to return to work
- Medical treatment restrictions, including issues with the 90-day employer provider rule
These problems can directly affect your recovery and financial stability, making it important to understand your rights and protect your claim early in the process.
Steps to Take After a Workplace Injury in PA
If you were injured at work and may need to file a workers’ compensation claim in Lansdale, the steps you take early on can directly impact your ability to receive full benefits. The time following a workplace accident is critical—proper documentation, timely reporting, and following Pennsylvania’s procedural requirements can strengthen your claim and help avoid delays or denials.
Report Your Injury To Your Employer
Notify your employer as soon as possible after a work-related injury. Pennsylvania law requires most injuries to be reported within 120 days; however, you should report as soon as possible to give more validity to your claims.
1
File a Workers’ Compensation Claim (LIBC-100)
To file a claim for workers' compensation in Pennsylvania, you must complete and file a LIBC-100 form. Filing formally starts your workers’ compensation claim and notifies your employer and their insurance carrier. Errors or delays at this stage can affect your ability to receive benefits.
2
Seek Medical Treatment
Workers’ compensation covers medical care related to your injury. In many cases, you may be required to treat with an employer-approved provider for the first 90 days before choosing your own doctor.

When Should You Hire a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer?
If you were injured at work in Lansdale or the surrounding area, there are many situations where having a workers’ compensation lawyer can make a significant difference in the outcome of your claim. In Pennsylvania, even small mistakes or delays can impact your ability to receive full benefits.
You should consider speaking with a lawyer if:
- Your claim is denied, delayed, or underpaid
- You are not receiving wage loss benefits, or payments have stopped
- Your medical treatment is being denied or limited
- You are being asked to return to work before you’re ready

Insurance companies have a financial incentive to minimize payouts. Having a lawyer helps ensure your rights are protected, your claim is properly handled, and you are not accepting less than you may be entitled to under Pennsylvania law.
