35+ Years of Experience. One Attorney. There for Every Step of Your Case.
Paula Robinson has spent more than 35 years in Pennsylvania workers’ compensation law, and that included representing employers and insurance carriers. She knows how adjusters evaluate claims, how denials get structured, and where insurance companies look for leverage. Carbon County workers who hire Paula get that knowledge working for them. Paula’s practice is devoted entirely to workers’ compensation law, with no other practice areas dividing her attention, and every client works directly with her throughout the process.

Whether you suffered a slip and fall on a job site, a road work injury, or an occupational disease that developed over time, Paula offers a free consultation before you make any decisions. Services are available in English and Spanish.

Workers’ Compensation Support for All Types of Cases
Carbon County’s workforce spans hospital systems like Saint Luke’s and Lehigh Valley Health Network, Blue Mountain Resort, school districts, nursing care facilities, manufacturing operations, and retail and government employers. Injuries happen across all of these industries, and the workers’ compensation claims that follow can be just as varied. Paula has represented clients across the full range of work-related injuries and illnesses, from acute trauma to repetitive stress conditions to occupational disease claims.
When to Call a Carbon County Workers' Compensation Lawyer
Some situations call for an attorney immediately. If an insurance carrier has denied your claim, you need representation. Under Pennsylvania workers’ compensation law, carriers have 21 days after receiving notice to accept, issue a temporary notice, or deny, and once a denial is issued, the clock starts running. A claim petition must be filed within three years of the date of injury, but waiting often costs injured workers leverage they can’t recover.
Other situations are less obvious but just as urgent. Benefits being delayed without explanation, an employer pressuring you to return to work before you’re medically cleared, a sudden suspension or modification of your wage loss benefits, or an insurer scheduling an independent medical examination (IME) are signals that the defense is building its case. Paula represents injured workers only. Robinson Law LLC does not represent employers or insurance companies, so Carbon County workers hire her knowing she is fully in their corner. Her approach is direct: she’ll give you an honest assessment of where your case stands, not a promise she can’t keep.
How Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Works
Pennsylvania workers’ compensation is a no-fault system. Benefits are available regardless of who caused the injury, and coverage applies to full-time, part-time, and seasonal employees. What the system offers is meaningful: wage loss benefits typically calculated at two-thirds of your pre-injury average weekly wage, full medical coverage for necessary treatment, specific loss benefits for permanent injuries, and death benefits for dependents when a work-related injury proves fatal.
What the system doesn’t offer is simplicity. Insurance carriers know how to contest claims, delay treatment approvals, and challenge wage calculations. Paula’s years spent representing employers give her a direct window into how that defense process works, and she applies that knowledge at every stage of a Carbon County worker’s claim, from filing through hearings before a workers’ compensation judge. When a workplace injury also gives rise to a claim against a negligent third party, Paula maintains referral relationships with personal injury attorneys across Pennsylvania and works alongside that counsel to coordinate both claims simultaneously, because the two are legally intertwined and must be managed together.
Navigate Your Carbon County Workers' Comp Appeal with Paula
A denied claim isn’t necessarily the end of the road. Paula handles workers’ comp appeals for Carbon County clients whose initial claims have been denied or whose benefits have been improperly modified or suspended. That means preparing the record, presenting legal arguments before the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board, and, when the appeal board’s decision still isn’t right, taking the case further through the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court. Appeals require a precise procedural record and command of the evidentiary standards that govern each level of review. Paula has navigated this process on behalf of injured workers across Pennsylvania throughout her career.
Categories of Workers’ Compensation in Carbon County, PA
Wage loss benefits under the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act are typically calculated at two-thirds of your pre-injury average weekly wage, with Temporary Total Disability (TTD) applying when you can’t return to work at all and partial disability applying when you can return in a limited capacity. The distinction matters, and so does how the wage calculation is done. Errors in average weekly wage calculations can reduce benefits significantly over the life of a claim.
Medical benefits cover the full scope of necessary treatment. For past Robinson Law LLC clients, that has included physician visits, diagnostic testing, prescriptions, physical therapy, and surgery costs, all secured through their settlements. Lump sum settlements, known as Compromise and Release agreements, are another option Paula negotiates when a structured settlement serves a client’s long-term interests better than ongoing benefits.
Turn to Robinson Law LLC for professional support for all elements of workers’ compensation, including:
- Payments for lost wages
- Medical benefits
- Specific loss benefits
- Temporary Total Disability (TTD) and Partial Disability Benefits
- Death benefits
- Lump sum settlements
