Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Workers Compensation Attorney

At E. S. Borjeson & Associates, LLC, our firm only handles Pennsylvania workers' compensation claims. We understand the laws, the process, and what it takes to assure that workers are compensated for their workplace injuries. We have successfully handled workers' compensation cases in a wide variety of industries including, construction workers, white collar office workers, printing press operators, warehouse workers, and factory workers.

Under Pennsylvania law, if you have been injured while on the job you only have 21 days from the date of the injury of to notify your employer and file a workers' compensation claim. For non-specific injuries or injures that develop over time, such as repetitive trauma, carpel tunnel, hearing loss, and asthma, you have 120 days from the time the injury was discovered. It is imperative that a claim is filed within these timelines or you will forfeit your right to Pennsylvania workers' compensation benefits such as lost wages, medical bills, disfigurement claims, and compensation for lost limbs.

The term "workers' compensation" refers to a system of laws outlining specific benefits to which injured employees are entitled, and the procedures for obtaining such benefits. Every state has its own workers' compensation laws, which are contained in statutes, and vary somewhat from state to state. In addition, there are special, federal workers' compensation laws for employees of the federal government and other, specific types of industries.

Under the law in most states, every business must have some form of workers' compensation insurance to cover injured employees. Filing a workers' compensation claim is similar to filing an insurance claim; it isn't a lawsuit against an employer, but rather a request for benefits. If you have been injured at work, attorneys experienced in workers' compensation law can explain the complexities of workers' compensation and help you secure the maximum benefits to which you are entitled.
