Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Claims
Protecting Your Rights After a Workplace Injury in Eastern Pennsylvania
Paula Robinson has spent more than 35 years practicing workers’ compensation law in Pennsylvania, and she is certified by the Pennsylvania Bar Association’s Section on Workers’ Compensation Law, as authorized by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Before she began representing injured workers exclusively, she spent time on the employer and insurance side. That background means she knows how carriers build their defenses, and she uses that knowledge on your behalf. If you’ve been hurt on the job, you work directly with Paula from the first call to the final resolution. No paralegals, no case managers.

Why Workers Choose Robinson Law LLC
Workers’ compensation is Paula’s only practice area. She doesn’t divide her attention across unrelated case types. Every negotiation tactic, every procedural decision, and every insight she applies comes from a career spent entirely in Pennsylvania workers’ compensation law. That singular focus, combined with her Pennsylvania Bar Association certification, means Pennsylvania injured workers get an attorney with extensive experience in this specific area of law.
Paula’s 35+ years include time representing both employers and employees. That history gives her a direct view into how insurance carriers construct their defense strategies: what they look for, what they challenge, and where claims get delayed or denied. She applies that knowledge on the injured worker’s side of the table. When a workplace injury also gives rise to a personal injury claim, Paula maintains referral relationships with experienced attorneys across Pennsylvania and coordinates both cases simultaneously. The two claims are legally intertwined, and how they’re handled together can affect the outcome of each.
Direct Access & Proven Recognition
Clients can reach Paula directly throughout the entire process for updates, answers, and explanations. She holds a 10/10 Avvo score backed by more than 200 reviews and has earned the Avvo Clients’ Choice Award three consecutive years: 2023, 2024, and 2025.

How Do Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Laws Impact Me?
Pennsylvania workers’ compensation is a no-fault system, which means you don’t need to prove your employer was negligent to receive benefits. Coverage is mandatory for most Pennsylvania employers under state law. The system can provide weekly wage-replacement payments when your injury keeps you from working, compensation for economic loss, and reimbursement of medical expenses. For our clients, that has meant coverage for medical visits, diagnostic testing, prescriptions, physical therapy, and surgery. Benefits payable to dependents of workers killed during employment are also available under Pennsylvania law.
General damages for pain and suffering and punitive damages for employer negligence aren’t available in workers’ compensation claims. That distinction matters when you’re evaluating your options, and it’s one reason coordination with a personal injury claim, where applicable, can be important.
Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act
There are two categories of injuries under the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act:
- Work-Related Injury: Typically a one-time incident, such as a slip and fall or a motor vehicle accident. Also included are repetitive-type injuries, such as carpal tunnel or shoulder overuse injuries. Aggravation of pre-existing conditions, such as arthritis in your knee or back that is permanently worsened by the work injury, as well as a recurrence of an old work injury, also falls into this category.
- Occupational Disease: Certain diseases are specifically related to particular occupations and are therefore recognized as occupational diseases. Examples include, but aren’t limited to, chemical poisoning for jobs that involve direct exposure or contact; heart and lung diseases for firefighters with four or more years of service; and tuberculosis and hepatitis for nurses, blood processors, and related professionals who are exposed to these diseases.
Whether a disease is occupationally related and compensable depends on whether the onset of the disease is substantially greater in that particular occupation or industry. If the injured worker is exposed to the disease because of their employment, it may be considered related to their work.
