Yes. Pennsylvania workers’ compensation is a no-fault system, so you can still receive benefits even if you were partially responsible for the accident. As long as the injury happened while you were working, you’re typically covered.
You have the right to file a claim petition and challenge the denial through the Pennsylvania workers’ compensation system. Our attorneys will gather all necessary evidence and represent you in hearings before a workers’ compensation judge.
It is illegal for an employer to retaliate against you for filing a workers’ compensation claim. While your employer can make unrelated employment decisions, they cannot fire or punish you simply for seeking benefits.
Some claims are approved within a few weeks, but disputed cases can take several months or longer depending on the details of the case and whether hearings are required.
The value of your case depends on the severity of your injury, your average weekly wages, and how long you’re unable to work. Benefits typically include medical coverage and a portion of your lost wages instead of a lump sum upfront.
You don’t have to go through this alone. While you rest and recover from your work injury, our construction site accident attorneys will fight for the full benefits you need to rebuild your life.
Let us fight for your future while you heal.
