The Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act provides payment for medical expenses following a job injury or work-related illness. In the state of Pennsylvania, employers must provide workers’ compensation coverage for all employees. Being that work injuries are all but uncommon, it is important to know your coverage under the Workers’ Compensation Act.
Issues arise with the Workers’ Compensation Act when injury claims are denied. Rather than receiving reimbursement for medical expenses and time out of work, you are expected to pay out of pocket for treatment and/or use personal health insurance to cover expenses. Depending on the severity of the injury, it may also mean that you may suffer from loss of income.
