Workplace Injury
Workers’ compensation benefits entitle employees to full and free medical care for injuries or illnesses caused by their normal job duties. After a period of time, workers are able to choose their own doctor if they don't like the one covered by the employer's insurance, and may be eligible to be compensated for lost income while they are healing.
If you’ve been injured on the job, you need a skilled workers’ compensation attorney. The laws and statutes regulating Pennsylvania workers’ compensation can be extremely confusing, and a good lawyer can help you navigate all the documentation requirements.
Bear in mind that your employer's insurance company is working for its own benefit, not yours. You may find yourself without adequate medical care before you are well again. The Elderkin Law Firm can make sure you receive proper treatment until your injuries are healed.
If you’ve been injured at work, fast action is essential. You must report the injury as quickly as possible and punctually adhere to every legal requirement. When you're hurt and unable to return to work, you shouldn’t have to worry about filing claim forms -- let one of our workplace injury attorneys help.
