We Represent Clients From Diverse Industries Who Have A Wide Range Of Injuries

Workers’ compensation claims are commonly associated with construction jobs, industrial work and other roles that involve heavy lifting and manual labor. However, injuries on the job can and do occur in all types of workplace environments.

These injuries can be complicated and debilitating. Some have permanent consequences. If you were injured on the job in Bucks County, either through a single incident or because of cumulative wear and tear, it is a smart idea to work with a knowledgeable workers’ compensation firm like Cullen Legal in Bristol. Attorney Robert L. Cullen has more than 20 years of legal experience, and he understands the Pennsylvania workers’ compensation process and what it takes to maximize the benefits that injured workers receive.

What Qualifies As A Work-Related Injury?

A work-related injury is any injury that occurs while you are performing tasks for an employer. An injury suffered in a car accident on the way to work is not a work-related injury, but if you drive as part of your workday and you are injured in an accident, that is a work-related injury. Similarly, the cumulative effects of driving a tractor-trailer for several years may produce back or neck injuries for which you may be able to collect workers’ compensation benefits.

The important point is if you are injured at work, report it immediately, even if it does not appear serious at the time. The seriousness of some injuries is not evident until days or weeks later. The success — or lack of success — with workers’ compensation claims often hinges upon thorough documentation of how and when the injury occurred, as well as how soon it was treated. When it comes to workers’ compensation injuries and claims, it is definitely better to be safe than sorry.
