What Types of Workplace Accidents & Injuries Are Covered by Workers’ Compensation?

Workers’ compensation covers all work-related accidents, injuries, and diseases for eligible employees in Pennsylvania. Because it is a no-fault system, you do not need to prove that your employer or any other party was negligent or otherwise at fault for your injuries or medical condition to receive workers’ compensation benefits. In exchange, you typically cannot sue your employer for damages after a workplace accident or after being diagnosed with an occupational injury or illness.

Our Pennsylvania workers' compensation attorneys represent workers with almost every type of job-related injury and illness, including but not limited to:

  • Commercial vehicle and on-the-job auto accidents
  • Falls from heights
  • Construction accidents
  • Being struck by falling objects
  • Incidents caused by defective products, tools, and equipment
  • Machine entanglement and other machinery accidents
  • Injuries from lifting or other manual labor
  • Amputation/loss of limb
  • Burns from fires, explosions, and contact with hot items or surfaces
  • Repetitive stress/motion injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Occupational illnesses and toxic exposure
  • Head and traumatic brain injuries
  • Neck, back, and spine injuries
  • Broken bones and “crush” or caught-between injuries
  • Overexertion, sprains, and strains

We also represent workers who have become seriously ill from toxic exposure to hazardous chemicals or asbestos, as well as law enforcement and medical workers infected with hepatitis C or another infectious disease via workplace exposure.

What Benefits Does Workers’ Compensation Offer?

By state law, your employer must pay for medical bills from a workplace injury and replacement of wages if you cannot return to your job.

Workers’ compensation also pays for:

  • Disfigurement
  • Loss of use
  • Or permanent disability

At Luxenberg Garbett Kelly & George, our New Castle workers’ comp lawyers can help file initial claims or fight your employer’s insurance carrier to appeal a rejection or termination of benefits.

If you want to know more about the exact benefits you may be eligible to receive, as well as the amount you can expect to recover, please contact us today by calling (724) 576-8855 and set up a no-cost, no-obligation consultation. 

What to Do If Your Workers’ Compensation Claim Is Denied

If your workers’ compensation claim has been denied, or if your benefits have been disputed or terminated, you have the right to file an appeal. Appealing a denied workers’ compensation claim involves numerous steps, and the process can be challenging. At Luxenberg Garbett Kelly & George, however, we will walk with you through every step.

Our workers’ compensation appeals attorneys can help you file the appropriate documentation and speak on your behalf during your hearing and other proceedings. When you turn to our firm with a denied claim, we will start by filing a petition with the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation and take steps to ensure your case goes before a workers’ compensation judge.

During the hearing, you will have the opportunity to demonstrate why you have a rightful claim to these benefits. Our team will work directly with you to ensure that you are fully prepared for this hearing and any other legal or administrative proceedings. We understand what is at stake for you and your family, and we are ready to handle all aspects of your case on your behalf.

Our Pennsylvania workers' compensation lawyers employ their extensive resources and experience for the benefit of their clients. We also cover all litigation costs during your case, including physician depositions. If we are successful on your behalf, the insurance company will pay our expenses, but if we do not win, you will not owe us anything.

Workers’ Compensation FAQ

What should I do after a work injury?

There is a limited amount of time to report a work injury to your employer. It may also be beneficial to seek legal guidance as you complete your workers’ compensation claim.

How much will I receive?

The amount depends on the nature of your injury, what you need for recovery, and how long you will need to recover before you return to work.

How long will my benefits last?

There is no set time for how long benefits last. The length of time you will receive payments depends on your injuries and the time you need away from work, as well as continued medical care.

Can I sue my employer after a work-related accident or injury?

Filing for workers’ compensation benefits means you cannot sue your employer, but in some cases, an injured worker has grounds for a third-party personal injury claim.
