What benefits does Workers' Compensation include?

Workers' Compensation benefits include weekly payments based on a percentage of your average weekly wage for temporary total disability, partial disability, permanent and total disability and permanent loss of function and disfigurement.

It also covers medical expenses for treatment that is reasonable, necessary and related to the injury.

Don't Settle Your Workers' Compensation Claim Unrepresented

The Act 57 amendments to Pennsylvania workers' compensation laws allow workers and insurance companies to settle workers' compensation claims for their work injury, rather than receiving weekly or bi-weekly benefits. The insurance company always tries to settle for the smallest amount possible and that is why you need the assistance of an experienced workers' compensation attorney to help you get the money you are owed.

In exchange for giving up some or all of your rights, you can take a lump sum cash settlement. You can settle your wage loss benefits, your medical benefits, or both. You can also obtain a lump sum payment of specific loss benefits, such as for an amputation injury, facial scarring, paralysis or vision or hearing loss.
