  • Have you been injured at work?

    The Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act provides injured workers a variety of benefits, including lost wages and missed work, medical expenses, rehabilitation and death benefits. You don’t have to be completely disabled forever to recover: Wage-loss benefits are available if it is determined that you are either totally disabled and unable to work or partially disabled from doing your pre-injury work. If you have lost permanent use of all or part of a limb, have lost your sight or hearing, or if you are disfigured from a work accident, a specific loss award is also available. Additionally, benefits for work-related deaths are paid to dependent survivors under the law.


    Nearly every Pennsylvania worker is covered by the Workers’ Compensation Act, and this includes seasonal and part-time workers. Nonprofit corporations, unincorporated businesses and even employers with only one employee must comply with the law’s requirements.


    Workers injured on the job have a duty under the law to:


    • Report any injury or work-related illness to the employer or supervisor immediately
    • Notify the employer that the injury happened on the job
    • Give the specifics about when and where the injury occurred

    Workers’ compensation cases the Law Offices of Bernard M. Gross, P.C.,  has pursued to a successful conclusion include a six-figure lump sum for a worker whose foot was run over by a customer, resulting in a fracture and a permanent traumatic injury. Other workers’ compensation injuries our lawyers have successfully recovered for include back injuries from job-related auto accidents and falls in the workplace, among many others.

FAQs

  • What benefits does workers’ compensation provide?

    Workers’ compensation covers medical expenses, lost wages, disability benefits, and vocational rehabilitation if needed. The specific benefits depend on the severity of your injury and its impact on your ability to work.

  • What should I do if I’m injured on the job?

    Report the injury to your employer as soon as possible and seek medical attention. Document the details of the incident and any symptoms you experience. Contact a workers’ compensation attorney to ensure your claim is filed properly and your rights are protected.

  • What if my workers’ compensation claim is denied?

    If your claim is denied, you can file an appeal. Denials often occur due to incomplete paperwork, disputes about the severity of the injury, or questions about whether the injury is work-related. Our attorneys can help identify the reason for denial and guide you through the appeals process.

  • Can I be fired for filing a workers’ compensation claim?

    No. Retaliation for filing a workers’ compensation claim is illegal in Pennsylvania. If you believe you’ve been wrongfully terminated, contact our attorneys immediately to protect your rights.

  • How long do I have to file a workers’ compensation claim?

    In Pennsylvania, you must notify your employer of your injury within 120 days and file your workers’ compensation claim within three years. Acting quickly ensures compliance with these deadlines and strengthens your case.

  • What if my employer doesn’t have workers’ compensation insurance?

    If your employer is uninsured, you may still be able to recover benefits through Pennsylvania’s Uninsured Employers Guaranty Fund. Our attorneys can help you navigate this process and secure compensation.

  • Can I sue my employer for a workplace injury?

    In most cases, workers’ compensation is the exclusive remedy for workplace injuries. However, you may be able to file a lawsuit if your employer acted with intentional misconduct or if a third party contributed to your injury.

  • How much does it cost to hire a workers’ compensation attorney?

    At Gross, Gross, & Newman Law, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront, and we only collect a fee if we win your case. This ensures access to quality legal representation without financial stress.
