Workers' Compensation

Harrisburg Workers’ Compensation Attorneys

Get All the Benefits You Are Entitled to Under Pennsylvania Workers Comp

If you were injured on the job, Pennsylvania workers’ compensation law protects you by ensuring that you receive financial compensation for your injuries or work related illness.

Most injured workers know their medical bills will be covered, as well as their lost wages, but many workers do not know all of the compensation they could receive, including:

• Reasonable and necessary medical treatment
• Rehabilitation costs
• The cost of medicine and equipment you may need
• A lump-sum payment for full or partial permanent disability
• Travel costs to and from your medical appointments

If you suffered an on-the-job injury or developed an illness related to your working conditions, or if you had a medical condition that worsened due to your working conditions, you could qualify for workers’ comp. Contact a workers’ compensation attorney at the Harrisburg law office of Scaringi & Scaringi to learn more.

Are You Being Told to Go Back to Work?

It’s not uncommon for workers to be told that they must return to work before their doctor approves their return. It’s important to have the time you need to heal. Returning to work too soon could lead to greater injury or increase the chance of re-injury. Speak to a lawyer about your case to fight for your right to sure of your medical recovery.

Were You Denied Because of a Pre-Existing Condition?

Sometimes the workers’ comp office denies a work comp claim under the misguided impression that the injury took place during non-work hours or was the result of a pre-existing condition. Our attorneys will gather the evidence showing your injuries took place at work.

Even if you did have a pre-existing medical condition, you may still be able to qualify for workers’ compensation if your work contributed significantly to a worsening of the condition. We work with medical experts to help our clients prove the effect their work had on their health.

Do You Believe You Have Not Been Fairly Compensated?

Workers compensation sometimes makes mistakes when it calculates the amount of compensation a worker should receive for a workplace injury. They rate a disability as temporary when it is permanent. They rate a disability as partial when it is full, or the percentage of disability rating is too low.

Our attorneys will carefully review all proposed settlements to ensure you are receiving the full compensation you deserve. Contact Scaringi & Scaringi, P.C. for an initial consultation.
