What Is Workers' Compensation?

The Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act provides monetary benefits for those injured at work to pay for medical expenses, lost wages, and other costs. Private insurance companies or the State Workers’ Insurance Fund (a state-run workers’ compensation insurer) administer these payments.

In exchange for workers’ compensation benefits, you give up your right to sue your employer. That means your only route to getting benefits is by going through the workers’ compensation system.

But if a third party bears some or all the liability for your injury, we can pursue damages via an injury claim or lawsuit against that third party. After evaluating the details of your case, Cordisco & Saile LLC can help you pursue a workers’ compensation claim, third-party lawsuit, or both.

When other law firms said they couldn’t help, Cordisco & Saile said yes. My husband was in a car accident and when the insurance company started denying treatment, Steven DeBonis got involved and yes- he got the needed operation, the physical therapy and more. The team was caring and kept us informed every step of the way.

What Benefits Can I Get From Workers' Compensation?

Workers’ compensation in Pennsylvania provides for several types of benefits. Before filing a claim on your behalf, our legal team gathers substantial evidence to build a compelling case so we can argue for the max compensation in each area.

You are entitled to the following damages in a Pennsylvania workers’ compensation claim:

  • Lost Wages: You might have to miss substantial work while recovering from your injury. Workers’ compensation pays you for the earnings you forfeit while you are unable to work. Also, if the effects of your injury reduce your capacity to earn a living going forward, you are entitled to compensation that makes up the difference between what you are able to earn and what you would be earning had you not been injured.
  • Specific Loss: If you suffered a specific and disabling injury, such as the permanent loss of use of a finger, hand, toe, or foot; a hearing or speech loss; or a serious and permanent disfigurement on your face, head, or neck, you are eligible to receive specific loss benefits.
  • Medical Bills: Workers’ compensation provides for reasonable costs of necessary surgical and medical procedures after a work injury. This includes hospital treatment and services, medication, doctor visits, and medical devices.
  • Death: If your family member or loved one lost her life in a work injury, you could be entitled to a death benefit on her behalf.

Do I Need a Lawyer to File a Workers' Compensation Claim?

You have the right to represent yourself in a workers’ compensation claim. But that does not mean it is wise to do so.

Workers’ compensation cases can be complex. It is not always as simple as filing a claim and then waiting for your check to arrive in the mail. Your employer has an incentive to deny your claim if it can; after all, workers’ compensation is like car insurance in that claims can result in higher premiums.

If a dispute arises, your employer and the insurance company will have legal representation. You deserve to have someone working on your behalf as well. At Cordisco & Saile LLC, we have the tools to take on employers and insurance companies large and small to get you the money you deserve.

So how might your employer deny your claim? The law absolves employers of the duty to pay workers’ compensation claims in cases where the employee caused their injury by engaging in horseplay or drinking on the job. Your employer might try to argue that you were behaving in a way that exempts you from getting benefits. We can anticipate arguments of that nature and counter it with evidence that shows your employer is liable.
