Can I Sue for My Workplace Injury in Pennsylvania? Many injured workers think workers' compensation is their only option - but you might have additional legal rights that could mean significantly more money. Here's the Truth About Pennsylvania Workplace Injury Claims: Workers' Compensation Covers: Medical expenses related to your work injury Partial wage replacement (typically 2/3 of average weekly wage) Permanent disability benefits No-fault system - covered regardless of who caused accident But Workers' Comp Has Serious Limitations: No payment for pain and suffering Limited wage replacement You cannot sue your direct employer When You CAN File a Personal Injury Lawsuit: Third parties caused workplace accident (contractors, equipment manufacturers, property owners) Defective machinery or tools caused injuries Employer lacks required workers' comp insurance The Advantage of Personal Injury Claims: Full wage replacement Pain and suffering compensation Punitive damages Much higher potential settlements The Real Question Is: "Am I leaving money on the table by only filing for workers' comp?"
