Workers' Compensation

PA Workers’ Compensation Attorneys

In Stroudsburg, you are covered by workers’ compensation from the first day of work and through the duration of your employment. If injured while on the job, workers are generally entitled to full medical care and to benefits to compensate for lost income for those permanently or temporarily disabled.  PA workers’ compensation covers work-related injuries or diseases contracted or aggravated by work.  Workers’ compensation may also cover the survivors of someone who has died from a job related accident.

To receive workers’ compensation in PA, you must provide your employer with the details of the event. 

There are three things you must inform your employer about:

• That you were injured while working
• The exact date of the injury
• The location of the injury

Self-insured employers or service companies investigate and make decisions to accept or deny an individual's claim.  Your employer's insurance company will make the initial decision on whether your injury is covered under the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act.

If you fear that you will not receive any or all of the workers’ compensation that you are entitled to, contact a competent Stroudsburg workers’ compensation lawyer.  The Stroudsburg workers’ compensation attorneys of Munley, Munley, & Cartwright will answer your questions or concerns about the complex workers’ compensation laws of PA.
