Workers' Compensation Lawyers in Philadelphia

Facing Denials, Delays, or Employer Pushback? We Can Help.

Let’s get you back on track.

Pennsylvania's Workers' Comp System Wasn't Built to Be Easy

The system looks simple from the outside: report the injury, get treatment, collect wage replacement. In practice, it’s a procedural maze of deadlines, panel doctors, and insurer-controlled exams designed to move you off benefits fast. Our workers’ compensation lawyers in Philadelphia have helped hundreds of injured workers cut through it, including those whose claims were initially denied.

We represent clients from the day they get hurt through the final decision on their case. That includes pushing back on denials, challenging IME findings, and negotiating settlements that reflect what the injury actually costs you over time.

What Benefits Are You Entitled To?

Most injured workers are eligible for:

  • Medical treatment coverage including doctor visits, surgeries, therapy.
  • Wage loss benefits to replace lost income while you recover.
  • Specific loss benefits for permanent injuries or disfigurement.
  • Death benefits for families who’ve lost a loved one.

Denied or delayed? Don’t give up. We fight back against insurance denials every day.

Where the Cases Are Heard and Who We Represent

Most of our cases run through the state’s Arch Street hearing office on North 8th. The injured workers we represent come from the city’s largest employers: SEPTA operators and maintenance crews, Jefferson and Temple hospital staff, building trades on Center City and University City sites, longshoremen at Packer Avenue Marine Terminal, and hospitality and warehouse workers throughout the metro.

How a Pennsylvania Workers' Comp Claim Actually Works

The Deadlines That End Cases Before They Start

Notice in writing to your employer must happen within 120 days or the claim is barred entirely. Inside 21 days gets you full retroactive wage benefits. A separate three-year clock applies to filing a Claim Petition with the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation.

How Contested Claims Get Decided

When the insurer denies, terminates, or moves to reduce your benefits, the dispute goes before a Workers’ Compensation Judge. Decisions can be appealed to the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board, then to Commonwealth Court.

What This Will Cost You

Pennsylvania caps workers’ comp attorney fees at 20% of recovery, and the WCJ has to approve the agreement in writing. We’re paid when you’re paid, and only if you’re paid.

What Happens After Two Years on Benefits

After 104 weeks of total disability, the insurer can demand an Impairment Rating Evaluation by a Bureau-designated physician. A rating below 35% flips your status to partial disability and caps wage benefits at 500 weeks. We challenge unreasonable findings and negotiate Compromise & Release settlements.

When Someone Else Caused Your Workplace Injury

If a negligent driver, defective product, or third-party contractor caused your injury, you may have a personal injury claim on top of workers’ comp. Workers’ comp doesn’t pay for pain and suffering. A third-party suit does.

Important: Don’t speak to the insurance company without legal advice. Their goal is to protect their bottom line, not yours.

The Questions Most Injured Workers Don't Know to Ask

Can I choose my own doctor after a workplace injury in Pennsylvania?

For the first 90 days, you have to see a provider from your employer’s posted panel, assuming the panel meets PA’s requirements. After 90 days, you can switch to any doctor you choose, including your own primary care physician.

Pennsylvania recognizes wrongful termination claims when an employer retaliates against a worker for filing. If your firing is connected to your claim, you may have a separate case beyond the workers’ comp itself.

Misclassification is common in construction, delivery, and warehouse work. Pennsylvania looks at how much control the employer actually had over your work, not what’s written on the paperwork. Many “1099” workers are legally employees and qualify for workers’ comp.

Generally no for the commute itself, but often yes for injuries on employer-controlled property like a company parking lot or while running a work-related errand. The line gets technical fast, which is why these cases benefit from a quick call.

Yes. Pennsylvania law protects injured workers regardless of immigration status. Medical coverage and most wage loss benefits are available, though some return-to-work disputes get more complex.

You Shouldn't Have to Fight the Insurance Company Alone
