What Benefits Are Available After a Work Injury

Pennsylvania workers’ compensation can cover the full cost of reasonable and necessary medical benefits: doctor visits, specialist appointments, diagnostic testing, prescriptions, physical therapy, and surgery. Our past clients have had all of those costs covered through their settlements. Medical benefits apply regardless of whether you have a pre-existing condition, as long as the job caused or worsened the injury.

Beyond medical coverage, wage-loss benefits can replace a portion of your income while you’re unable to return to work. If you’ve suffered permanent loss of use of a body part, permanent hearing or vision loss, or serious permanent disfigurement of the head, face, or neck, you may also qualify for specific loss benefits under the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act. 

Paula pursues the full scope of what each client may be entitled to, not the minimum an insurer is willing to offer.

What Sets Paula Robinson Apart in Pennsylvania

When you hire Robinson Law LLC, you work directly with Paula Robinson. Not a paralegal. Not a case manager. Paula handles every aspect of your case personally and is reachable throughout the process when you have questions or need an update. That level of access is rare in any law firm.

Her PA Bar Association certification as a workers’ compensation specialist is also rare. That credential, authorized by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, distinguishes Paula from attorneys who handle workers’ comp claims alongside unrelated practice areas. Workers’ compensation law is all she does. Every negotiation tactic and procedural decision comes from a career spent entirely in this one area of Pennsylvania law.

What makes her preparation different is that more than 35 years of experience includes time on the other side of the table. Paula has represented employers and insurance companies. She knows how insurers build their defense strategies against injured workers and uses that knowledge to anticipate and counter those moves on your behalf.

Paula also maintains relationships with personal injury attorneys across Pennsylvania for situations where a workplace injury gives rise to a parallel third-party claim. Workers’ compensation and personal injury claims are legally intertwined when a third party, a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or another driver, contributed to the injury. Paula coordinates both claims simultaneously with the injury attorney, so nothing is missed between cases.

When Your Claim Is Denied

A denial isn’t the end of your claim. Insurers dispute and deny claims for many reasons, and Paula’s background representing their side of the table means she can identify the strategy being used and respond to it. Robinson Law LLC handles appeals before the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board, and the firm has handled matters including a claim and appeal before the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board that later settled for $138,539.

One common reason claims are denied is missing the deadline to notify your employer after a work injury. Under Pennsylvania law, injuries must be reported within 21 days to preserve full benefits, and if you wait beyond 120 days, you may lose your right to compensation entirely. If your claim has been denied for any reason, contact Paula before assuming you’re out of options.
