• Bilingual Representation: Paula serves clients in both English and Spanish, so language is never a barrier to getting the help you need.

Seeking Benefits for Amputation Injuries

Losing a limb or digit is a traumatic and irreversible event. Pennsylvania’s workers’ compensation law provides specific loss benefits for amputation injuries: a predetermined compensation amount for the loss of a body part, even if you don’t miss any time from work. These benefits compensate you for the loss itself, separate from any wage loss claim. Paula personally pursues the scope of benefits available for these life-altering injuries, not just the initial award.

She handles the documentation, negotiation, and any hearing appearances required to pursue coverage for:

• Expensive, custom-fitted prosthetics
• Ongoing physical and occupational therapy
• Psychological counseling to help you adjust
• Modifications to your home or vehicle to accommodate your new circumstances

Support for Disfigurement, Scars, & Burns

If your work injury left you with a permanent scar or disfigurement on your head, face, or neck, you may be eligible for a weekly benefit paid over a number of weeks as determined by a workers’ compensation judge under Pennsylvania workers’ compensation law. Qualifying injuries include lacerations, burns, and scarring from surgical procedures required because of a workplace accident.

Paula personally builds the evidentiary record for these claims. She documents your case with clear photographs and medical reports confirming permanence, then presents that evidence directly to a workers’ compensation judge, who views the disfigurement to determine an appropriate award. Having Paula in the room, not a case manager, means the presentation reflects the full weight of what you’ve experienced.

Legal Help for Back & Spinal Cord Injuries

An injury to your back or spinal cord can sideline you from your career and change how you live your life. Conditions like herniated discs, chronic pain, or paralysis from spinal trauma frequently make it impossible to return to prior job duties. Robinson Law LLC handles these serious cases with a focus on building a plan for your long-term financial stability. Paula works to get necessary medical treatments approved and covered by the insurance company. For injuries resulting in permanent and total disability, she pursues lifetime wage loss benefits that may provide steady income when returning to work isn’t possible.

Paula’s support for these cases involves seeking benefits for:

• Full Medical Coverage: Surgeries, physical therapy, pain management, and required prescriptions.
• Wage Loss Payments: Seeking weekly checks to replace lost income while you can’t work.
• Specific Accommodations: Pursuing payment for home or vehicle modifications made necessary by the injury.

Some workplace accidents create two separate legal claims at once. If a negligent third-party driver caused your injury, or a defective piece of equipment was involved, you may have both a workers’ compensation claim and a personal injury claim running simultaneously. These claims are legally intertwined. How one is handled can directly affect the other.

Paula doesn’t handle personal injury cases, but she maintains connections with experienced personal injury attorneys in Pennsylvania and actively refers clients to qualified counsel when a third-party claim applies. She then coordinates with that attorney throughout both cases, helping keep the workers’ comp side and the personal injury side aligned. Few workers’ compensation-only firms offer this level of cross-claim coordination. It’s a meaningful advantage when both claims are in play.

Don’t Face the Insurance Company Alone

The insurance company has attorneys working to protect its bottom line from the moment your claim is filed. You deserve an advocate who’s fully in your corner, one who knows how the other side thinks. Paula Robinson has spent more than three decades in Pennsylvania workers’ compensation law, and she brings that experience to every case she takes personally.

With a 10/10 Avvo score, three consecutive Avvo Clients’ Choice Awards, more than 200 reviews, BBB accreditation, and recognition from Super Lawyers and Expertise, Paula’s record speaks for itself. She serves clients in English and Spanish, and consultations are free.
