If you are facing a neck or back injury after an injury on the job, you can seek a settlement through workers’ compensation. A workers’ compensation claim could pay for your medical costs and a portion of your lost wages.

We can help you file a claim, dispute a denied claim, and ensure you seek the money you deserve. By hiring legal help for your claim, you can focus on resting and recuperating from your injuries.

What Benefits Can I Seek with a Workers’ Compensation Claim?

Every state offers its own workers’ compensation benefits. In Pennsylvania, for instance, workers’ compensation is determined by the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act.

According to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, employees who are injured at work may be able to collect:

Lost Wage Replacement

As long as your work-related injury prevents you from working, you can seek replacement wages. You may receive about two-thirds of your former wages. These benefits can kick in as long as you’ve been unable to work for at least seven days.

Total Disability Benefits

You may be able to receive Social Security Disability benefits for total disability until you have achieved recovery and can return to work in your full, former capacity.

How Much is a Neck and Back Injury Settlement Worth?

How Can a Lawyer Help Me with My Case?

The workers’ compensation system may entitle you to many benefits, but you could run into complications when you attempt to file a claim or receive your benefits. For instance:

Your claim may be denied or disputed by your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance carrier.
The insurance provider may try to end your benefits before you are fully recovered.

If these or other challenges arise, we can help you take the next steps necessary to seek the benefits you need. We can file a lawsuit, prepare your case through litigation, and represent your interests against the insurance provider.

We can gather evidence of your health condition and prognoses for you to demonstrate the extent of your injury. We even collect statements from your doctors to show how you were hurt and what forms of treatments are required for you to achieve a full recovery.

You need an attorney with the experience and dedication to give your case the care it deserves.

What is not Covered Through Workers’ Compensation?

Keep in mind that workers’ compensation differs from a personal injury lawsuit. With a workers’ compensation claim, you are unable to seek compensation for less tangible losses, such as pain and suffering.

Can I Sue My Employer?

It is typically not possible to sue your employer. In exchange for the possibility of seeking workers’ compensation benefits, employees are often barred from pursuing a lawsuit against their employer.

Still, if you are having problems with receiving the benefits you need from your employer’s insurance carrier, we could help you appeal the company’s decisions.
