Being injured on the job can be a life-changing event. Suddenly, you are faced with the prospect of not being able to work and earn a living. You have bills to pay and a family to support. However, the insurance companies often try to deny claims or delay paying claims rather than compensating the injured worker as the workers’ compensation law requires. Workers’ comp is sometimes referred to as workman’s compensation, workmen’s comp, or workers comp.

If you have been injured on the job in Reading, Berks County, Pottsville, Schuylkill County, or anywhere else in PA, the skilled and dedicated workers comp attorneys at Liever, Hyman & Potter can immediately take action on your behalf to protect your rights and obtain work comp benefits or a workers comp disability settlement to which you are entitled.

Understanding Workers Compensation Benefits and Settlements

Injured workers in Pennsylvania are entitled to wage loss and medical benefits (workers compensation for personal injury) under the PA Workers’ Compensation Act. Depending on the nature and severity of your injury, you may also be entitled to work comp benefits for scarring and disfigurement or the loss of use or function of a body part. Should tragedy strike, work comp benefits may be available to family members of loved ones who suffer fatal injuries on the job.

While many work injuries arise out of accidents involving physical impact (for example, breaks a bone, suffers an amputation, or sustains trauma to the head), workers are also entitled to be compensated for medical conditions that are caused by work activity that aggravates a pre-existing condition or that result from repetitive work. A few notable examples of situations that could entitle you to workers comp are: back injuries, exposure to dangerous chemicals, fumes, and other harmful substances leading to illness, and hearing loss due to hazardous industrial noise.
