Every company in Pennsylvania must carry workers' compensation insurance to cover employees who get injured on the job or become ill due to work conditions, and to cover work-related deaths. Workers' compensation exists both as a way to benefit injured workers and as a way to protect employers. Workers' compensation is a no-fault insurance system, which means that no guilt needs to be proven. All that needs to be proven is that the injury occurred while on the job. The injury can occur not only at the workplace, but also while traveling on business, doing a work-related errand, attending a required business-related social function or even while on a break or using restroom facilities.
Why Hire the Work Injury Attorneys at Cherry Fieger & Cherry P.C.?
Do not assume that workers' compensation is guaranteed. While it should be, the fact remains that insurance companies frequently push back. They take measures to underpay claims or to avoid paying them altogether. They push back against paying for needed medical procedures. Our lawyers are here to make certain you get the benefits you need.
Our experience also means that we understand how to look for opportunities to find you additional money beyond what is available through workers' compensation, which is limited. In some cases, we may be able to file a personal injury claim against a third party. This will be determined in a thorough investigation, which might also reveal workplace safety issues and OSHA violations.
