Workers' compensation FAQ's
- What types of cases does Attorney Richard A. Jaffe not handle?
- My employer denied my claim for workers' compensation benefits. Do I really need an attorney to get benefits or can I file a Claim Petition on my own?
- I am not working because I was injured on the job, and am not currently receiving benefits, how can I hire an attorney if I have no money?
- I've been receiving benefits for my work related injury for a while and then suddenly my benefits were stopped out of the blue. Is the Insurance Carrier allowed to do this?
- I just received a petition in the mail from the employer stating that my benefits should be terminated as of the date I attended an independent medical exam. How can they say I am fully recovered when their doctor only examined me for ten minutes? Does this mean my benefits are going to stop?
- I suffered an injury at work but when I filed a claim for workers' compensation my employer denied my claim because I did not provide "adequate notice." What does adequate notice mean?
- If I cannot work due to my work injury, how much will my benefits be?
- When I suffer an injury at work, do I have to receive treatment from my employer's contracted doctor?
- If I am injured in a state other than Pennsylvania but my employer is based in Pennsylvania, can I recover workers' compensation benefits in Pennsylvania?
- Can I recover workers' compensation benefits if my injury did not occur on my employer's premises?
- Can I recover workers' compensation benefits if my work injury is caused by a co-worker or a third party?
- Can I sue my co-worker if he or she caused my injury?
- I have been receiving workers' compensation benefits for an injury I suffered at work last year. Although I can't return to my old job I think I can perform another job that does not require me to do the heavy lifting required by my pre injury job. If I return to work, will that affect my weekly benefits?
- I received unemployment compensation after my work injury. Now the employer is seeking a credit against my workers' compensation benefits. Are they allowed to do this?
