In most cases, state laws prevent employees from suing their employer for workplace injuries because workers’ compensation insurance covers medical expenses and lost wages. However, if your employer fails to provide coverage, denies your claim wrongfully, or if a third party caused your injury, a Philadelphia workplace injury lawyer can help you pursue legal action across PA, NJ, NY, DE, and MD.
An injury is work-related when it occurs during your job duties while you are “on the clock.” Even injuries during breaks may qualify under certain circumstances. A lawyer for workplace injury can review the specifics of your case to determine eligibility.
Workers’ compensation laws generally provide benefits regardless of fault. Your employer must cover medical expenses and lost wages. Exceptions may occur in cases involving defective machinery or willful misconduct, in which a workplace injury attorney can provide guidance.
If you are denied benefits, you typically have three years from the date of injury to file a Claim Petition. This process can be complicated, and having an experienced workplace injury lawyer can make a significant difference in the outcome.
You have rights. An attorney can help you appeal the denial and explore third-party claims, especially when negligence outside of comp law is involved.
