Workers’ Compensation Doctors in Pennsylvania

Proudly Treating Injured Workers

Pennsylvania’s workers’ compensation system is designed to provide benefits to employees who suffer job-related injuries or illnesses, ensuring they receive necessary medical treatment and compensation for lost wages. Established by the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act of 1915, this no-fault system means workers are entitled to benefits regardless of who was at fault for the injury. Coverage is mandatory for most employers in Pennsylvania, protecting both employees and employers by limiting the latter’s liability in exchange for providing benefits to injured workers.

Steps to Take if Injured at Work:

  • Immediate Notification: Report the injury to your employer as soon as possible. Pennsylvania law requires this within 120 days, but prompt reporting is beneficial for claim processing.
  • Seek Medical Attention: Get immediate medical help, making sure to inform the healthcare provider that the injury is work-related. This documentation is crucial.
  • Document Everything: Keep detailed records of the incident, including how it happened, when, and where, plus any witness statements.
  • File a Workers’ Compensation Claim: Your employer should file a First Report of Injury with the Pennsylvania Bureau of Workers’ Compensation. You might need to file a claim petition if there’s a delay or denial from the insurer.
  • Consult an Attorney: If your claim is denied or if you face issues with benefits, consulting with a workers’ compensation attorney can be invaluable. They can navigate the complex legal landscape, ensuring you receive all entitled benefits.
  • Follow Through: Attend all medical appointments, follow treatment plans, and comply with any light-duty work offers if applicable. Non-compliance can affect your benefits.
  • Appeal If Necessary: If your claim is denied, you have the right to appeal the decision. An attorney can help through this process, appealing to the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board or even to the Commonwealth Court if needed.

Understanding these steps and the system’s framework ensures that injured workers in Pennsylvania can effectively claim the benefits they are entitled to, promoting recovery and financial stability during a challenging time.
