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 Pennsylvania workers' comp. Contact a Harrisburg workers' compensation attorney at the law office of Scaringi & Scaringi, P.C., to learn more.
Why Hire Scaringi & Scaringi for Your Workers' Compensation Claim?
Our workers' compensation practice is led by Frank C. Sluzis, former Regional Counsel to the Pennsylvania Bureau of Workers' Compensation. In that capacity, Attorney Sluzis advised Administrative Law Judges (ALJs), who are the judges that preside over workers' compensation hearings and decide the cases. Attorney Sluzis's counsel included rendering advice on the substantive and procedural laws involved in handling and determining a workers' compensation claim.
During his tenure at the Pennsylvania Bureau of Workers' Compensation, Harrisburg workers' compensation attorney Frank C. Sluzis developed a deep and broad knowledge of how the Bureau works and how to present cases on behalf of injured workers before the Workers' Compensation Board. He is well-positioned to represent injured workers with their workers' compensation claims.
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 Pennsylvania workers' compensation lawyer about your case to fight for your right to be 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 workers' comp attorneys can gather evidence to show 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.

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 Harrisburg workers' compensation 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.
