Workers Comp Lawyers in Pottsville, PA

Workplace injuries and illnesses are a serious concern in the United States. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are roughly 2.7 million nonfatal workplace injuries or illnesses each year. This is a staggering number of injuries and illnesses that leave workers with unexpected medical bills and lost wages. While most individuals will return to work, many may suffer permanent disabilities that may prevent them from returning to the same line of work, the same career, or even preventing them from returning to work in general. Individuals who are hurt in a work accident or due to a work illness should seek the help of an experienced workers comp lawyer in Pottsville, PA.

For over four decades, the team at Larry Pitt & Associates has helped victims and their families recover workers’ comp benefits throughout Pennsylvania, including right here in Pottsville. We know how important it is for a family to have a claim get reviewed quickly and approved, which is why we are careful to submit well-supported, accurate, and correctly done claims—the first time. Our skilled workers comp lawyers in Pottsville, PA do everything in their power to prevent mistakes from holding up your claim, while zealously representing you to ensure that you recover the full amount of compensation that you may be entitled to under the law.

What is Workers’ Compensation?

Under Pennsylvania law, injured workers are entitled to recover compensation for their medical bills and up to two-thirds (2/3) of their lost wages for work-related injuries or illnesses. Workers may also be entitled to other benefits for permanent injuries and disabilities that may prevent them from working or otherwise impact their daily lives.

Nearly all employers are required to obtain workers compensation insurance for their workers, and workers comp benefits cover almost all employees. This includes part-time, seasonal, and temporary workers.

In return for this no-fault benefits program, workers must establish that their injuries are work-related or their illness is work-related. Workers do not need to establish causation or fault, and they can still recover workers’ compensation benefits if they were partially at fault.

Can I Sue My Employer for a Work Injury or Illness?

No, not usually. Workers comp benefits are intended to be the exclusive remedy. The limited exceptions to this include where an employer did not submit the claim in a timely manner, where an employer did not have workers comp insurance but should have, or other rare circumstances.

However, a worker may be entitled to file a lawsuit against a third party, such as another driver or business that caused harm in a motor vehicle accident while at work—so long as that person was not your employer or co-worker.
