Worker's Compensation:

If you are working at your place of employment and become injured, the case falls under Pennsylvania's Workerman's Compensation laws.  By law, if you have the misfortune to have been injured while at work, you are due compensation for any missed work as well as compensation for the related medical costs and expenses.  Your job may not be a high-risk job.  You may not work in construction or with explosives.  This does not mean that your injury at work does not entitle you to compensation.  It is actually vital that you speak to an attorney as quickly as possible if you have been injured on the job.  The attorneys at the firm will work with you to resolve the issues related with your injury.  The attorneys will research all areas of compensation that you may be entitled to recover. 

Unfortunately, there are clear workers' compensation cases in which the insurance company for the employer may contest the claim.  In this case, you need to have competent legal assistance immediately, as is your right.  On some occasions, the insurance company may refuse to continue to pay medical bills past a certain date or stop paying work-loss compensation even though you cannot return to work.  These issues need the qualified legal assistance of an attorney.  The right decision is to avoid making these issues more complicated by immediately contacting an attorney from the firm to review your case.  The attorneys at the firm can help you maximize the chances of a good outcome in your case.  The attorney wants you to be treated fairly under the law.  A seriously disabling injury would necessitate aggressive legal representation.

Work-related Motor Vehicle Accidents:

Do you drive a vehicle for work or drive during work hours?  If you are injured in a work or private motor vehicle while in the scope of your employment, you will be entitled to make a lost wages claim and a medical payments claim under the Workman's Compensation laws and you may also be able to recover additional monetary damages if the collision or crash was caused by another driver.  In a work-related automobile or truck accident, it is imperative that you contact a lawyer at the firm immediately.  These cases are extremely complicated and involve multiple areas of law and often times, multiple insurance companies. 

Jobsite / Construction Site Injuries:

If you are injured while working on someone else's jobsite or property because of a dangerous condition or negligence, you may be eligible to seek damages for lost-wages, medical bills, unreimbursed expenses, pain, suffering and disfigurement.  Often, jobsite injuries are severe and have catastrophic affects.  For example, unsafe work conditions that cause trips, falls, burns, electrocution and/or dismemberment can require lifetime recuperation and rehabilitation and permanent loss of income.  Some construction site accidents also result in death.  If you or a loved one experiences such an incident, call the experienced lawyers at the firm immediately for a free consultation.  Because proving fault is imperative in these claims and often requires the use of an expert witness, don't delay--call the firm for immediate legal assistance.
