The purpose of Pennsylvania's workers' compensation laws is to offer medical treatment and financial support to employees who suffer an illness or injury at work. The right to medical treatment for a sickness or accident is one of the most important rights that Pennsylvania employees are granted. This involves free coverage for all required medical costs associated with your work-related accident.
Wage loss benefits are another important benefit under Pennsylvania's workers' compensation regulations, which you are entitled to if your injury prevents you from working or limits your ability to earn money. These benefits are meant to stabilize your finances while you heal by partially replacing lost income.
Employees submitting workers' compensation claims are likewise shielded by the statutes against employer retribution. This implies that if you use your rights under the workers' compensation system, you cannot be dismissed, demoted, or the target of any other kind of discrimination.
