Experienced Scranton Work Injury Lawyers
The goal of the workers' compensation is to ensure that workers who are injured on the job receive adequate medical treatment and compensation for their lost wages. Unfortunately, in some cases, employers try to deny their injured employees the benefits they deserve.
At Brady & Grabowski, P.C., our Wilkes-Barre workers' compensation lawyers help injured workers throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania pursue the benefits they are legally entitled to receive. If your claim has been denied or your benefits have been cut off, our attorneys can help.
Helping Injured Workers Receive the Benefits They Deserve
Our attorneys have extensive experience helping injured workers pursue workers' comp claims. While many of these claims go perfectly smoothly, it is not at all uncommon for disputes to arise. The following are the two most common disputed scenarios:
- Denied claims: Under Pennsylvania workers' compensation law, if you are injured in the workplace or while performing work activities, you are entitled to workers' comp benefits. If your employer's insurance carrier is refusing to cover your injuries, we can help you appeal the decision through a hearing at the Bureau of Workers' Compensation.
- Benefit terminations and modifications: If your employer's insurance company is attempting to terminate or reduce your benefits because its doctor says you are able to return to work, we can fight that petition at a hearing, obtain your medical records, consult a vocational witness and make your case for why you should continue receiving benefits.
Both the medical and lost-wage portions of workers' compensation claims can be settled at any time, and our firm frequently helps clients resolve cases in this fashion, but if it is necessary to fight your case at a hearing or even in court, we are fully prepared to do so.
In some cases, workers who are injured on the job are able to receive higher levels of compensation by pursuing personal injury claims or other benefits in addition to workers' comp. Our firm handles these types of cases and can help you get the maximum compensation you deserve.
