Most people in Pennsylvania don't work in careers in which they are likely to suffer from an injury. However, those who do work in those types of careers may be a bit confused about their options directly in the aftermath of a workplace injury. The most important thing to remember in this type of situation is that it is often crucial to take action as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, taking immediate action may not always be as easy as one might think. If an injury occurs at work in Pennsylvania, the injured person will likely be qualified to receive workers' compensation benefits. The downside to the process of applying for those benefits is that it often seem daunting. That is why it helps to have the right information about the intricacies of the process as well as all the available options.
However, some workers may not want to report their injuries to their employer. They may believe that they would be open to retaliation from the employer if they need medical attention, or if they need to take a few days or weeks off of work due to the injury. Pennsylvania residents should rest assured that, if that were to occur, there would likely be legal options to pursue.
At our law firm, we do our best to help injured workers with the application process for workers' compensation benefits, as well as dealing with any potential complications from the employer due to the injury and subsequent treatment. Although many employers are more than willing to do everything they can to help their employees overcome a work-related injury, that isn't always the case.
