The Benefits of Workers' Compensation

Employers are legally required to maintain workers’ compensation insurance. Benefits are overseen by the Pennsylvania Bureau of Workers’ Compensation. As workers’ compensation insurance is “no-fault,” employees can make workers’ compensation claims without having to prove fault as long as they suffer an injury while working. Workers’ comp insurance provides numerous benefits for employees injured in workplace accidents.

Medical Treatment

Under Pennsylvania law, your employer must pay for the medical treatment you receive for your injuries, including doctor visits, hospital stays, and physical therapy when you make a claim. However, there are some limits. Specifically, for the first 90 days after your accident, you must see an employer-designated medical provider before you are permitted to choose your own doctor.

Lost Wages

Workers’ compensation insurance will provide two general types of wage replacement benefits for an injured worker. If you cannot return to work, you can seek temporary total disability (TTD) benefits which pays 2/3rd of your average weekly wage. You can seek temporary partial disability (TPD) benefits if you cannot return to work at a full-duty capacity and receive 2/3rds of the difference between your pre-injury wage and post-injury wage.

Permanent Disability Benefits

If your injury results in a permanent disability, you may be eligible for additional benefits to help with the long-term impact of your injury. Specifically, you can receive financial compensation for your permanent injury. The amount of money you receive is based on the portion of your body which was injured and your pre-injury earnings.

Death Benefits

Under Pennsylvania law, death is classified as a compensable injury. If you had a loved one pass away due to a workplace injury or illness, you may be eligible for death benefits to help with expenses and loss of income. The amount you receive depends on your relationship with the victim and the number of children they had before their death.

Win Big Lawyers Can Secure Your Workers' Comp Benefits

Navigating the workers’ compensation system can be complicated and time-consuming. Insurance companies often take steps to make the process even more difficult to encourage victims to give up and accept minimal settlement offers which is why injured workers should retain a workers’ compensation lawyer. At the Win Big Law, our aggressive workers’ compensation lawyers serving Philadelphia and Upper Darby will protect your rights while guiding you through this difficult process.

Insurance Companies Have Time and Money

At Win Big Law, our lawyers level the playing field by refusing to be intimidated and fighting for the maximum benefits you deserve. Insurance companies have teams of adjusters, law firms, and lawyers who work to minimize the benefits they pay to injured workers. In addition to lawyers and adjusters, insurance companies often hire investigators to follow injured employees to verify their injuries and medical treatment.

Win Big Law's Aggressive Attorneys Fight for You

Our workers’ compensation lawyers have the experience and knowledge to navigate the workers’ comp system and fight for your rights. Before founding Win Big Law, our lawyers developed their litigation skills by working as elite prosecutors and insurance defense attorneys. Now, they use their advocacy skills to get injured workers the benefits they deserve.

What Injuries Did You Suffer on the Job?

Workplace injuries arise from a variety of accidents. Due to the expansive coverage and “no-fault” nature of workers’ comp insurance, several types of injuries and occupational illnesses are considered compensable claims.

Musculoskeletal injuries

Broken bones, Sprained joints?

Many workers’ comp claims arise from employees being involved in accidents in which physical objects strike them. These types of accidents often cause severe injuries, such as broken bones. Employees with broken bones often need extensive medical treatment, such as orthopedic care and physical therapy.

Traumatic injuries

Contusions, lacerations, head trauma?

Along with severe bodily injuries, employees also suffer head injuries and lacerations to their bodies. Depending on the severity of the accident, these injuries may be life-altering. These injuries often require injured workers to seek emergency medical care.

Occupational illnesses

Occupational illness?

Workers’ compensation also covers occupational diseases in addition to physical injuries. Specifically, several diseases are covered by workers’ comp insurance. Under Pennsylvania law, your illness is presumed to be work-related if it is a known hazard in your occupational field.

Mental health conditions

Mental health trauma?

In addition to physical injuries and occupational illnesses, you can also seek workers’ comp benefits for a physiological injury like undue stress or anxiety. Under Pennsylvania law, there are three types of workers’ comp claims for mental health-related injuries. You can claim benefits if:

You suffered a physical injury which caused you to develop a debilitating mental health condition.

You suffer a bodily injury as a result of a work-related psychological stressor.

You develop a debilitating mental health condition due to work-related psychological stressors.

What Can I Do for Win Big to Fight for Me?

If you have been injured on the job, you can do a few things to increase the strength of your claim. Following your accident, you should document your injuries and the facts of the accident by taking photographs. You should also obtain the names and contact information of potential witnesses, and provide this information to your lawyer.

As soon as you are injured, report it to your employer and speak with a workers’ compensation lawyer. This starts the process of getting you the benefits you deserve. Additionally, your claim is barred if you fail to report your injury to your employer within 120 days of your accident.

Pennsylvania requires employers to post form LIBC-100. This form must provide the name and contact information of your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance carrier. A lawyer can help you file a LIBC-100 form with the Pennsylvania Bureau of Workers’ Compensation to formally report your injury. 

You should consult your doctor to diagnose and treat your injuries properly for your workers’ compensation case. However, for the first 90 days following your accident, you must obtain treatment from your employer’s designated medical provider. After this 90-day period, you can consult and seek treatment from your own doctor for the remainder of your workers’ comp case.
