Hurt At Work? Here’s What To Do
If you’ve been injured on the job, follow these steps to protect your workers’ compensation claim:
Report Your Injury To Your Employer
If you’re injured at work, report it to your employer as soon as possible. The incident must be reported within 120 days to preserve your right to a workers’ comp claim.
1
File A LIBC-100 Form
Pennsylvania requires employers to post form LIBC-100, which provides the name and contact information of your employer's workers' compensation insurance carrier. Our attorneys will help you file this a form with the Pennsylvania Bureau of Workers' Compensation to formally report your injury.

See A Doctor For Your Injuries
See a doctor as soon as possible to treat and document your injuries. For the first 90 days following your accident, you must be treated by your employer's designated medical provider. After this 90-day period, you can seek treatment from your own doctor for the remainder of your workers' compensation case.

Your Most Common Questions About Workers’ Comp
Can I see my own doctor for my injuries?
In Pennsylvania, your employer may require you to see an approved provider for the first 90 days after your injury. After that period, you’re generally free to choose your own doctor.
How long will my workers’ comp benefits last?
Medical benefits can last as long as you need treatment, while compensation for lost wages depends on the severity and duration of your injury. Some benefits are temporary, while others may continue for years if you’re unable to return to work.
Can part-time and seasonal workers file claims?
Yes. Part-time and seasonal workers are typically covered under Pennsylvania workers’ compensation laws, as long as they are classified as employees and were injured on the job.
What kind of settlement can I expect?
There’s no standard settlement amount; your workers’ comp benefits depend on your injury, lost wages, and long-term impact on your ability to work. Many cases resolve through a lump-sum or structured settlement, and our attorneys will fight for the full amount you’re entitled to under Pennsylvania law.
