Eligibility Requirements for Workers Compensation
To be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits 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.
How Were You Injured on the Job?
Workplace injuries can take many forms—not all of them obvious or immediate. Pennsylvania workers’ compensation covers a wide range of physical and psychological injuries that can occur on the job or develop over time. Some of the most common work-related injuries include:
Broken Bones & Sprained Joints
Head Trauma, Contusions, or Lacerations
Occupational Illnesses
Work Related Mental Health Conditions
Steps to Take After a Workplace Injury in PA
The time following a workplace accident is crucial. To improve the strength of your case, you should document the accident, identify witnesses, and document your injuries. Additionally, you must fulfill several procedural requirements to ensure your claim is accepted.
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, and delays can put your claim at risk.
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.
