In order to establish a valid claim for benefits in a Pennsylvania workers compensation case, you need to establish the following:
-an employment relationship
-an injury
-that the injury occurred in the course and scope of employment
-a causal relationship between the injury and the employment
– that the injury results in disability or death
– There must also be valid Pa. jurisdiction
