Workers Comp

Pennsylvania Workers Comp

Lawyers At the Larry Pitt & Associates Pennsylvania law firm, we are asked all the time how a client's personal injury or workers comp claim is covered by the Worker’s Compensation Act. Under the Pennsylvania Worker’s Compensation Act, you can be provided with both wage-loss compensation benefits and medical expenses. These may last until you return to the workplace. Death benefits for work-related deaths may be covered, usually being paid to the deceased’s dependent survivors. Employers must provide workers compensation coverage to all of their employees including part-time and seasonal staff. Non-profit organizations, which are not incorporated businesses, as well as employers with only one employee, must comply with the Act's requirements. The law covers you regardless of where you were hired. In some cases, injury outside of the state may be covered.
