A Workforce Built on Healthcare, Industry & Higher Education

Delaware County has one of the most varied workforces in Eastern Pennsylvania. Healthcare networks like Crozer Health, Main Line Health, and Penn Medicine affiliates employ tens of thousands of nurses, technicians, aides, and support staff who face daily injury risks. Refining and petrochemical operations near Marcus Hook expose workers to chemicals, fire, explosion, and confined-space hazards. Aerospace and defense manufacturing at facilities like the Boeing plant in Ridley Park brings industrial-scale injuries to skilled trades. Universities including Villanova and Widener employ faculty and grounds staff with their own injury patterns. And the county has one of the largest concentrations of nursing homes and long-term care facilities in the region, where staff face lifting, patient-handling, and exposure injuries shift after shift.

What to Do After a Workplace Injury

The actions you take right after a workplace injury can shape the strength of your claim. Notify your employer of the injury in writing as soon as possible, since Pennsylvania law sets a 120-day notice deadline that can forfeit benefits if missed. Get medical care promptly and make sure your records reflect that the injury happened at work. Document the scene, your injuries, any equipment involved, and witness contact information. And before giving a recorded statement to any insurance adjuster, talk to Paula. The adjuster works for the insurance carrier, and even casual answers can hurt your claim later.
