Suffering an on-the-job injury can be a harrowing experience. In addition to the pain and discomfort of the injury itself, there are often worries about keeping the bills paid and getting adequate medical care.

To top it off, the injured worker is most often forced to deal with the red tape and bureaucracy of an insurance company who is choosing the doctors and controlling the amount of benefit checks, if any, that are issued to the injured worker. As experienced Poconos Workers' Compensation Lawyers, we have helped thousands of Pennsylvania clients protect their rights.

Most employers are required to carry Workers' Compensation insurance to help their employees receive lost wages due to an inability to perform properly at work. If you have been injured on the job, how you handle the incident could make the difference in whether or not you receive Workers' Compensation benefits.
