Experienced Help for Injured Workers
The Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Act of June 2, 1915, was created to cover medical expenses for those who are injured on the job and those who develop work-related illnesses. Workman's comp benefits are paid by either private insurance companies, employers or a state-run workers' comp insurance carrier (the State Workers' Insurance Fund). At the law firm of Cullen Legal, our Bucks County workers' compensation attorney helps injured workers with their compensation claims.
The law states that every employer must provide workers' comp coverage for all full-time, seasonal and part-time employees. The law applies to nonprofit corporations, unincorporated businesses, incorporated businesses and businesses that have only one employee.
What Is Covered Under Workers' Comp?
If you are injured on the job or develop a work-related illness, the Workers' Compensation Act will provide for medical coverage, as well as compensation for lost wages until work can be resumed. The Act also provides for death benefits in the event of a work-related death. These benefits are paid to dependent survivors.
Your employer may choose to either accept or deny a claim. If your claim is denied, you have the right to file a claim petition with the Bureau of Workers' Compensation and receive a hearing before a workers' comp judge. Our Bristol work injury attorney can help guide you through the entire process.
