Representing Workers' Compensation Claimants In Philadelphia, Montgomery, Chester, Bucks and Delaware Counties -- and Throughout Pennsylvania

Under the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act, employees who are injured on the job are entitled to payment of wage losses and medical expenses. In addition, if a worker dies as the result of a work-related cause, his or her family is entitled to payment of death and dependency benefits. Other benefits are also available under Pennsylvania law, and many cases result in lump sum settlements, often called Compromise & Releases or C&Rs.

We Understand the Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Act and Our Goal is to Obtain the Best Result Possible and the Largest Settlement for Every Injured Worker

Workers' compensation covers all injuries related to a worker's job, whether they are the result of an accident such as slip and fall or a construction accident, or virtually any other work-related cause. For instance, many people do not realize that repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome or arthritis of the knee are covered by workers’ compensation, as are occupational diseases resulting from the exposure to toxic chemicals or other condition. Workers who suffer job-related hearing loss are also entitled to compensation.

The list of work-related injuries and conditions is extremely long, and it is important for an injured worker to be represented by an attorney knowledgeable not only in Pennsylvania law, but also in the rules, regulations and procedures that apply to proceedings before Workers' Compensation Judges. At Robert S. Waldman & Associates, we can assist you with your case. Our lawyers will also work hard to answer your questions promptly and to obtain payments of all wage losses and medical benefits as quickly as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Claims

Our attorneys know that injuries on the job can be devastating to workers and their families, and that they have many questions. Here are some frequently asked questions and answers about Pennsylvania workers’ compensation claims:

If I am unable to work because of my injury, what benefits am I entitled to?

If the injury you receive on the job prevents you from working, you are entitled to receive wage loss benefits as well as medical benefits. Generally, your wage loss benefits will be paid at approximately two-thirds of your average weekly income at the time of your injury.
