Common Issues in Filing Work Injury Claims — Delaware County Law Firm

• Notice, filing requirements and deadlines — You have certain obligations when you are injured at work. Failure to follow these rules can irreparably harm your claims and appeals.
• Pre-existing conditions — No matter what your employer may tell you, you are entitled to workers' compensation benefits if your job duties aggravated a past injury or existing health condition.
• Suing your employer — You cannot usually sue your employer for damages such as pain and suffering. You can sue only if your employer does not carry workers' compensation insurance, in which case we can represent you.
• Qualifying for disability benefits — You may need to petition for a hearing if your claim for workers' compensation was denied by your employer. We have extensive experience in workers' compensation litigation.
• Death benefits and other benefits — Family dependants including spouses and children are entitled to death benefits if a person is killed in a work accident or dies of work-related injury or illness. Without a lawyer, specific loss benefits may be under-estimated or denied.

Other issues that may arise in workers' comp claims include workplace violence, telecommuting, home offices and independent contractor status. No matter what issue you have, our Philadelphia lawyers will guide you in the right direction.
