While Pennsylvania law doesn't require you to hire an attorney after a workplace accident, having one can protect your rights and increase your benefits.
Consider getting a workers' compensation lawyer if your claim gets denied. Insurance companies sometimes reject valid claims, hoping workers won't fight back. A lawyer can appeal the decision and gather evidence to prove your case.
You also need legal help if your injuries are serious or permanent. These cases involve larger benefit amounts, and insurance companies will fight harder to pay less. An attorney ensures you receive fair compensation for ongoing medical care and lost wages.
If your employer blames you for the accident or questions whether your injury is work-related, get a lawyer immediately. They can protect you from unfair accusations and prove your injury happened at work.
When multiple parties might be responsible for your accident, such as equipment manufacturers or contractors, you may have claims beyond workers' compensation. An experienced lawyer identifies all potential sources of compensation.
A workers' compensation attorney handles paperwork, meets deadlines, and negotiates with insurance companies. They understand Pennsylvania workers' compensation laws and know what benefits you deserve. Most importantly, they let you focus on recovery while they handle legal matters.
