Most states have a worker’s compensation law which provides certain benefits to workers who are injured while working for their employer. The worker’s compensation system is somewhat complicated. In general, in Pennsylvania, if you are hurt while performing your work you are entitled to benefits. You are entitled to benefits without having to prove that anyone was at fault. In fact, you could have been 100% at fault and still be entitled to receive benefits. The benefits are payment of lost wages and medical bills.

If you believe you are entitled to worker’s compensation benefits, or if your employer is attempting to terminate benefits you have been receiving, you should consult with an attorney who is experienced in worker’s compensation matters.
