Permanent Disability: Getting Worker's Compensation with Work Injury Lawyers

In many kinds of unfortunate situations, employees are permanently affected by workplace conditions that lead to permanent partial or total disability. Getting permanent disability settlements through worker's compensation is different than utilizing any public support or privately purchased long term disability insurance. When workplace conditions or environments cause permanent disabilities, employers have a responsibility to provide for injured workers. Every state has different rules when it comes to permanent disability claims. The Pennsylvania worker's compensation lawyers at Cherry Fieger and Marciano, LLP know about local statutes and how to arrange for compensation to cover all of the costs of an ongoing disability.

Treatment for Permanent Disabilities: Work Injury Law and Medical Care

Although it is important to document work conditions leading to partial or total permanent disabilities, it's also important for the injured worker to focus on healing. When an employer or other party requests an Independent Medical Exam for a permanent disability worker's compensation case, it does not constitute treatment for a permanent injury or condition. The injured worker should consult with a family doctor over the long term to seek any possible alleviation of what is considered a permanent disability.

Using Pennsylvania Work Injury Lawyers to Seek Resolution

While a patient is developing plans for dealing with a permanent injury, PA work injury lawyers will be determining how to arrange for payments that will "make whole" a work injury claim situation, covering lost wages, medical bills and even some abstracts such as impaired ability to do work in the future. Depending on the details of the case, payment can be a portion of current salary, a lump sum payment or anything else that attorneys for both parties decide is equitable. However, an injured worker without the representation of a work injury law team may not receive the same benefits and compensation. Don't take a chance on getting what you deserve. Call Cherry Fieger and Marciano, LLP in Media at 888-684-2374 or in Philadelphia at 215-985-4000.
