Guiding You Through Every Aspect of Your Workers' Compensation Claim

Workers’ compensation claims in Pennsylvania involve far more than filling out forms. Paula handles every stage of the process: initial filing, evidence gathering, insurer negotiations, hearings before a Workers’ Compensation Judge, and settlement. When a claim is denied, that’s not the end. Paula handles appeals and works to challenge decisions that should not have been issued. Clients work directly with Paula at every step, not with a paralegal or a case manager, so nothing gets filtered or delayed.

One situation that arises more often than people expect is when a workplace injury also gives rise to a personal injury claim against a third party. Paula doesn’t handle personal injury cases, but she maintains connections with qualified PI attorneys across Pennsylvania and actively refers clients when that situation applies. She then coordinates both cases so they move forward together, as these two types of claims are often legally intertwined. Handling them separately can affect the benefits and compensation an injured worker may recover.

Categories of Workers’ Compensation Benefits

Workers’ compensation benefits cover a range of needs depending on your circumstances. 

Some of the most common benefits include:

• Medical Benefits: Covers treatment related to your workplace injury or illness, including surgeries, therapy, medications, and hospital stays
• Wage Loss Benefits: Offers partial wage replacement for lost income during your recovery
• Specific Loss Benefits: Provides additional compensation for permanent loss of use, such as a limb or sensory function
• Death Benefits: Provides financial support to the family of a worker who has passed away due to a workplace incident

Types of Injuries Covered by Workers’ Compensation

Pennsylvania workers’ compensation covers head injuries, traumatic injuries, and a wide array of other conditions. Injuries that qualify include those caused by a single accident, occupational exposure, or cumulative trauma that builds over time on the job. Knowing what qualifies, and documenting it correctly, is where a workers’ compensation attorney in Tannersville, PA, can make a measurable difference.

Common workplace injuries include:

• Amputations
• Ankle and foot injuries
• Arm and hand injuries
• Back injuries
• Bone breaks and fractures
• Burns
• Catastrophic and traumatic injuries
• Degloving injuries
• Eye injuries
• Head injuries
• Hearing loss
• Hip and knee injuries
• Lacerations
• Motor vehicle accident injuries
• Neck injuries
• Post-traumatic stress disorder
• Spinal injuries
• Toxic exposure 
• Trip, slip, and fall accidents

These injuries, and many others, can qualify you for workers’ compensation benefits. However, proving the connection between your injury and your employment often requires careful documentation, which an experienced workers' comp attorney in Tannersville can help you provide.

Death & Disability Benefits in Workers’ Compensation

When workplace injuries result in severe consequences, Pennsylvania workers’ compensation provides comprehensive death benefits and disability benefits. These provisions protect not just the injured worker but their family during challenging times. 

• Death benefits can provide financial support to dependent family members, covering funeral expenses and offering ongoing monetary assistance. 
• Disability benefits range from temporary to permanent classifications, with compensation levels determined by the injury’s severity and impact on future earning potential. 

Paula works directly with clients pursuing these claims, helping them build the documentation record that supports the value of the benefits they may be entitled to pursue.

Why Paula Robinson Is the Right Choice for Your Tannersville Workers’ Comp Claim

Insurers assign experienced defense counsel to contested claims. Going into that process without a Tannersville workers’ compensation attorney on your side can put you at a disadvantage from the start. Paula Robinson helps level that playing field.

Paula is certified as a specialist in the practice of workers’ compensation law by the Pennsylvania Bar Association’s Section on Workers’ Compensation Law, as authorized by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. That certification isn’t a marketing designation. It reflects a career built entirely around this one area of Pennsylvania law. She doesn’t divide her attention across unrelated practice areas. Every negotiation tactic, every procedural decision, and every insight she applies to your case comes from decades spent working workers’ compensation claims from both sides.

That dual background matters. Because Paula previously represented employers and insurance carriers, she knows how defense strategies are constructed. She uses that knowledge to anticipate what the other side will argue and to build your claim accordingly. When you hire Paula, you reach her directly, not a case manager, for answers, updates, and honest assessments throughout the process. She won’t make empty promises about outcomes, but she can tell you exactly where your case stands based on the information available.
