Harrisburg Workers’ Compensation Attorney
Fight for the Benefits You Deserve After a Work Injury
Paula Robinson has spent more than 35 years working on both sides of Pennsylvania workers’ compensation law, representing employers and insurers before dedicating her practice entirely to injured workers. That background means she knows how insurance companies build their defenses because she used to help build them. Now she uses that knowledge on your behalf. Founded in 2011, Robinson Law LLC serves injured workers throughout Harrisburg and Dauphin County, with every case handled personally by Paula from the first call through settlement or hearing. Services are available in English and Spanish.

What Is Workers’ Compensation?
Workers’ compensation is a no-fault insurance program that provides medical benefits and wage replacement to employees injured on the job. Under Pennsylvania’s system, you don’t have to prove your employer did anything wrong to qualify. Benefits can cover medical expenses, a portion of lost wages, and in fatal cases, death benefits for surviving family members. The Pennsylvania Bureau of Workers’ Compensation administers the system, but navigating it without an attorney means dealing with insurers whose interests aren’t aligned with yours.
As a Harrisburg workers' compensation lawyer with well over three decades of experience, Paula has seen firsthand how these benefits make a real difference, from covering specialist visits and diagnostic testing to replacing income during a long recovery. Her job is to help you pursue the benefits the system provides.
Why Hire a Harrisburg Workers’ Compensation Attorney?
Paula Robinson holds a certification in workers’ compensation law from the Pennsylvania Bar Association’s Workers’ Compensation Law Section, a credential authorized by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and held by fewer than 1% of attorneys in the state. That distinction reflects decades spent studying, arguing, and resolving workers’ comp claims at every level, including appeals before the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board.
Her background representing employers and insurers gives her a direct window into how the other side operates. Insurance companies may dispute whether an injury is work-related, schedule an independent medical examination (IME) to challenge your diagnosis, or pressure you to return to work before you’re medically cleared. Paula recognizes these tactics because she understands how defense strategies are structured. When you call, you reach Paula, not a paralegal or case manager. She handles the full life cycle of your claim: initial paperwork, hearings, negotiations, and, if necessary, denied workers’ compensation claims on appeal.
Every assessment she gives is honest and realistic, so you know where you stand, not just what sounds encouraging.
Do You Qualify for PA Workers’ Compensation?
In Pennsylvania, most employees are covered from day one on the job. It doesn’t matter if you’re full-time, part-time, or seasonal. If you’re hurt while performing your job duties, you may qualify for workers’ comp.
There are some exceptions and nuances to be aware of. Independent contractors aren’t covered under traditional workers’ compensation insurance. Some industries, like agriculture or domestic work, have different rules. And if your injury was self-inflicted or occurred while you were violating company policy, your claim might be denied.
What Types of Injuries Are Covered by Workers’ Compensation?
From sudden accidents to conditions that develop over time, a wide range of injuries and illnesses can qualify for benefits under the Pennsylvania workers’ compensation system. Acute injuries often come to mind first, including slipping on a wet floor, falling from a ladder, or getting hurt by machinery. Workers’ compensation also covers repetitive stress injuries that develop gradually. Carpal tunnel syndrome from years of typing, back pain from repeated heavy lifting, and hearing loss from prolonged noise exposure are all potentially eligible for workers’ compensation benefits.
Occupational diseases are another important category. If you’ve developed an illness due to toxic exposure at work, such as asbestos-related lung conditions or skin conditions from chemical exposure, you may have a valid claim. Even mental health conditions, including PTSD and work-related anxiety, can qualify when they stem from a workplace incident. Paula has handled the full range of these injury types across her career in Harrisburg and throughout Dauphin County.
Why Harrisburg Injured Workers Choose Robinson Law LLC
Paula holds a 10/10 Avvo score drawn from more than 200 client reviews, and she has earned the Avvo Clients’ Choice Award three consecutive years: 2023, 2024, and 2025. Robinson Law LLC is also recognized by Super Lawyers and Expertise and maintains BBB accreditation. Since opening in 2011, the firm has recovered millions of dollars for injured workers. Past results include settlements of $509,910, $319,875, $259,853, $249,999, $138,539, and $135,000, among others. These are historical results and not a promise or guarantee of what any individual case may produce, but they reflect the level of recovery Paula seeks in every claim.
Another key difference: when a workplace injury also gives rise to a personal injury claim, Paula maintains connections with qualified personal injury attorneys across Pennsylvania and coordinates both cases simultaneously. Workers’ comp and personal injury claims are legally intertwined, and mishandling the timing or strategy of one can undermine the other. Paula manages that coordination directly so nothing falls through the gap.
