Recovering Compensation Under Pennsylvania Law
Under Pennsylvania workers' compensation law, if the employer accepts responsibility for the injury, or if the employer is found to be responsible over its objection, you're entitled to recover wage loss benefit, medical benefits and possibly specific loss benefits. Here are examples of three situations:
- Injuries at work, can be, but not necessarily traumatic in nature, involving fractures, ligament or tendon damage, blunt force wounds, or multiple trauma. Could also include carpal tunnel, repetitive stress, sprains and strains.
- Aggravation of a preexisting condition or injury, often can be serious enough to disable you from working
- Work-related illness, such as pneumonosis (long-term exposure to coal dust), hepatitis, progressive hearing loss, or chemical exposure, are some examples.
