Workers comp laws in Pennsylvania are designed so that an employee who suffers an injury or illness as a direct result of their job --regardless of the cause-- is entitled to obtain workers compensation benefits.
In other words, as long as the injury or illness was incurred in the course of work then the injured employee has a right to workers compensation benefits.
Why Should I File A Workers Comp Claim?
Suffering a work-related injury can often lead to difficult circumstances including unexpected medical bills, lost income and serious physical pain.
Many injured workers become overwhelmed with the financial difficulties that arise after an injury and do not know what to do.
Fortunately, it is possible to seek workers compensation benefits after an injury. The benefits that you receive from workers compensation are intended to help pay for the costs associated with your work-related injury. For example, workers comp benefits can help supplement a portion of your wages if you are no longer working because of your injury. Additionally, these benefits are meant to pay for medical expenses that you incur as a result of your injury.
