Here are some questions you may have:

When am I entitled to receive workers' compensation benefits?

You are entitled to receive workers' compensation benefits if you are disabled because of a work-related injury, disease, or condition. Even if you had prior health problems or if your job aggravated or worsened those problems, you can file for workers' compensation.

What must I do to receive workers' compensation benefits?

If you are injured at work, you must report your injury to your supervisor or the personnel department as soon as possible. Tell them what is wrong, how it happened, and why you feel your health problem was caused by your job. Keep a private record of your report of injury.

When will payment of workers 'compensation start?

Your medical bills should be paid as they are submitted. Weekly workers' compensation benefits should be paid within 21 days of the date the company is notified of your injury.

What if the company turns me down or does not pay within 21 days?

If the company turns you down, it should send a written notice of denial. If you receive the written notice of denial or hear nothing from the company within 21 days, call us at 1-877-228-1528. Our Philadelphia workers' compensation lawyers will tell you what to do to enforce your rights.

Will I lose my job for filing a workers' compensation claim?

You cannot be fired or disciplined in any way for reporting your injury or filing a claim for compensation.

If I am receiving workers compensation benefits is there anyone I can sue for my injury?

If your injury was caused completely or in part by someone other than your employer, you might have a third-party claim. To find out, call Galfand Berger and ask to speak to one of our workers' compensation lawyers or complete our short contact form.
