What You Should Know About Workers' Comp

You Can't Be Fired for Filing

Pennsylvania and New Jersey law protect employees from retaliation for filing workers' compensation claims. If your employer threatens or punishes you for filing, you may have a separate retaliation case.

Your Employer's Insurance Pays — Not You

Workers' compensation is an insurance program paid for by employers. You don't pay premiums, and there's no cost to file a claim. Benefits typically include medical expenses, a portion of lost wages, and rehabilitation costs.

Denied Claims Can Be Appealed

If your workers' comp claim was denied, don't give up. Many initial denials are overturned on appeal. An experienced workers' comp attorney can help you challenge the decision before the Workers' Compensation Appeal Board.

Report Your Injury Promptly

In Pennsylvania, you should report a workplace injury to your employer within 21 days to receive full benefits from the date of injury. You must report within 120 days to be eligible for benefits at all. Don't delay — notify your employer in writing as soon as possible.

Workers' Compensation FAQ

No. Pennsylvania and New Jersey law prohibit employers from retaliating against employees for filing workers' compensation claims. If you've been fired, demoted, or threatened for filing a claim, you may have an additional retaliation case. An attorney can protect your rights.
Workers' compensation typically covers medical expenses (doctors, surgery, rehabilitation, prescriptions), lost wages (approximately 2/3 of your average weekly wage), and permanent disability benefits if you can't return to your previous work. In fatal cases, dependents may receive death benefits.
Don't give up. Many initial claim denials are successfully overturned on appeal. Common reasons for denial include late reporting, disputed medical evidence, or employer challenges. An experienced workers' comp attorney can file a Claim Petition with the Workers' Compensation Appeal Board and represent you at hearings.
In Pennsylvania, report to your employer within 21 days to receive benefits from the date of injury. You must report within 120 days to be eligible for any benefits. You have up to 3 years to file a formal workers' compensation claim. Always report in writing and keep a copy.
While you can file a claim on your own, an attorney can significantly increase your chances of a successful outcome — especially if your claim is denied, your benefits are cut, or you have a serious injury. Workers' comp attorneys typically work on contingency, so there's no upfront cost.
