The Basics of Workers’ Compensation in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania workers’ compensation covers medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs for work-related injuries and illnesses. The system protects employees regardless of fault. A workplace injury doesn’t need to result from employer negligence to qualify. Workers must notify their employer within 120 days of the injury, and the deadline to file a claim petition is three years from the date of injury. Reporting sooner can strengthen the claim.

Paula guides clients through every step of filing a claim, from the initial paperwork through negotiating a settlement or representing you before a judge if your case goes to hearing. She also handles appeals for denied claims. Instead of empty reassurances, Paula provides honest assessments of where your case stands and what the realistic path forward looks like. Since the firm opened in 2011, Robinson Law LLC has recovered millions of dollars for clients whose settlements covered medical bills, specialist visits, diagnostic testing, prescriptions, physical therapy, and surgery costs.

How Coopersburg, PA Workers’ Compensation Benefits Support Your Recovery

The benefits available through Pennsylvania workers’ comp extend well beyond the emergency room visit. 

A successful claim can provide:

• Ongoing medical treatment and rehabilitation
• Wage loss benefits, typically approximately two-thirds of your average weekly wage, subject to state maximums
• Permanent disability benefits
• Coverage for necessary medical equipment
• Transportation costs to medical appointments

Paula examines every detail of a case to build a claim that reflects the true scope of the injury: what you need now and what you may need through a longer recovery. The millions of dollars recovered for past clients represent concrete outcomes, including surgeries covered, wages replaced, specialist visits paid for, and financial pressure eased during some of the most difficult periods of those workers’ lives.

Types of Workers’ Compensation Claims Paula Handles

Every workplace injury presents unique challenges, but Paula has extensive experience to apply to any type of claim.

As a Coopersburg workers' compensation lawyer, Paula Robinson handles claims involving:

• Repetitive stress injuries
• Construction site accidents
• Manufacturing injuries
• Office-related injuries
• Occupational illnesses
• Back and spine injuries
• Burn injuries
• Motor vehicle accidents
• Head injuries
• Death benefits
• Disability benefits

When a workplace injury also gives rise to a personal injury claim (a third-party vehicle accident, a defective piece of equipment, a negligent contractor on a job site), Paula maintains connections with experienced personal injury attorneys across Pennsylvania and actively refers clients to qualified counsel. She then works alongside that attorney to coordinate both cases simultaneously because the two claims are legally intertwined. Having worked on the defense side of workers’ comp for years, Paula also recognizes the angles insurers may try to use against a claim before they arise and prepares accordingly.

Common Questions About Workers’ Compensation

• Can I choose my own doctor? After initial treatment, Pennsylvania workers have the right to select their preferred healthcare providers. One important exception: if your employer properly posted a panel of designated providers and gave the required notice, you must treat within that panel for the first 90 days. Paula can help you understand what applies to your situation and locate qualified medical professionals who can properly document your injuries.
• What if my claim gets denied? Denials are common, and they’re not necessarily the final word. Paula handles the appeals process, including representation before the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board, and presents the evidence needed to challenge denied workers’ compensation claims.
• How long do I have to file? Pennsylvania law requires notifying your employer within 120 days of the injury. The deadline to file a claim petition is three years from the date of injury. Earlier reporting creates a clearer record and can make it harder for an insurer to contest the timeline.
