If you are unable to work due to a job related illness or injury you have a claim!

Using the Pennsylvania's Workers' Compensation Act (Act), you can be provided with wage-loss compensation benefits and medical expenses. Wage loss benefits can last until you return to the workplace. Death benefits for work-related deaths can be also covered and are usually paid to the person's dependent survivors.

The Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Act covers almost all Pennsylvania employees.

Employers must provide workers' compensation coverage to all of their employees-this would include part-time and seasonal staff. Nonprofit corporations, unincorporated businesses, and even employers with only one employee, must comply with the Act's requirements.

The law also covers you regardless of where you were hired and in some cases injury outside of the state can be covered.

Workers Compensation claims can require depositions, cross examination by defending attorneys, sworn testimony, more than one court appearance and a vast knowledge of the governing laws that protect you as an employee in the state of Pennsylvania. This is why it is so important to have an attorney that is familiar with the Workers Compensation Act and has handled thousands of cases like the workers compensation lawyers at Larry Pitt and Associates.
