Workers’ compensation is a crucial safety net, helping you maintain financial stability while focusing on recovery. The Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act protects employees who suffer injuries or illnesses on the job. As an injured worker, you’re entitled to specific benefits regardless of who caused your workplace injury. These benefits cover your medical expenses, lost wages, and ongoing care needs. The law requires most employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance, which funds these essential benefits for injured employees.
Medical benefits form the foundation of workers’ compensation coverage, paying for all necessary treatment related to your work injury. This includes doctor visits, hospital stays, medications, physical therapy, and medical devices. Wage loss benefits provide crucial financial support when you cannot work. These disability payments typically equal about two-thirds of your average weekly wage (gross weekly wages). For families who lose a loved one to a workplace accident, death benefits help cover funeral expenses and provide ongoing financial support to dependent family members.
