When you’re hurt on the job, workers’ compensation is there to protect you. Most employers must, by law, carry this form of no-fault insurance so if you get hurt in the normal course of your duties, you can receive a portion of your salary as well as coverage for all your medical bills. Far too often, however, workers’ comp claims are denied. When that happens, Pittston’s workers’ comp lawyers can help make sure you get the benefits you need.

Occupations with the Most Job-Related Injuries and Illnesses

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) keeps track of employer-related workplace injuries and illnesses. Below is a list of occupations that routinely have high rates of workplace injuries.

Employers often act quickly to downplay workplace accidents or pressure employees into signing documents that may limit their ability to seek full compensation. Remember, you are not required to comply with their requests without legal representation. Protect your rights and ensure you receive the recovery you deserve before signing anything.

If you’ve been injured on the job, whether at your workplace, while traveling for work, or even offsite during work hours, it’s crucial to reach out to our Pittston workers’ injury attorney as soon as possible at (570) 714-3343.

I cannot say enough good things about Attorney Belt. After being denied unemployment benefits due to an attendance issue, he stepped in and exceeded all my expectations. He was prompt, professional, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire appeal process. Thanks to his hard work, the decision was overturned, and I can now support my family while I search for a new job. I’m truly grateful. Thank you Attorney Belt!

On a professional level- Mr Belt was honest, answered all my questions and I knew what to expect. Very knowledgeable about the law. On a personal level- I hadn’t slept the night before the case and I had a bit of anxiety beforehand. Mr. Belt sat in the seating area with me and talked about coffee places. I was cool as a cucumber when it was time to go in. Bottom line is… I’d put all my trust in Mr. Belt and you could too. Also, the women that worked in the front office were always very kind on the phone and in person.

After extensive research, I decided to hire Timothy Belt as my workers’ compensation lawyer based on favorable reviews. Unfortunately, this decision proved to be a serious mistake. I anticipated that he would offer proper guidance and maintain effective communication, which are crucial responsibilities of a lawyer. His deficiency to do so resulted in significant financial strain and emotional distress. Due to his lack of effort and poor performance in my case, the best decision was to terminate his services and seek a new counsel. The difference was extremely noticeable and resulted in a fair outcome.

I just met with Timothy today. (Eric A.) He was very kind, very very knowledgeable about my unique circumstance and I decided to not continue my case in filing an appeal. He had a check in hand for close to a grand, I offered to pay him for his time as it seemed a bad decision to continue my unemployment claim with his knowledge on the subject, although he certainly would have. There were many hurdles, mostly my fault. I would have only ended up with a couple hundred bucks if we won. He was very very clear about that. I offered to pay him for his time today and for emails back and forth, and he just said, we 'll consider this a consultation at no charge. I can't guarantee that to everyone. But he continued to hear my plight after that and said he felt bad for the position I was in. Even gave his thoughts on the matter. Having had to work with many law firms over my years here on earth, I was very impressed with his knowledge and willing to do what he could to help. Thank you Timothy Belt! Much appreciated.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation

Report the injury to your employer as soon as possible and obtain any necessary medical treatment.
If the injury is not reported within 120 days, you will lose the right to file for compensation. You cannot legally be fired for reporting a work injury.
The employer reports your injury to their workers’ compensation insurer. If the insurance carrier accepts your claim, they will calculate any compensation owed and make payment. If your claim has not been accepted within 21 days of providing notice of the injury to your employer, your claim is likely denied.
If you receive a notice of denial, you can file a Claim Petition with the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Bureau. Your Petition will be assigned to a Workers’ Compensation Judge. The Judge will schedule hearings, and both sides will be provided the opportunity to present evidence. If the claim is not voluntarily resolved, the judge will issue a Decision.
In most cases you have up to three years from the date of injury to file a Claim Petition.

Any injury or illness that is work-related. It could be a fall, a burn or other workplace incident. It also covers occupational illnesses and repetitive stress injuries that develop over time from toxic exposures or the rigors of the job.

Workers’ compensation insurance covers all medical expenses stemming from your work injury. Workers’ comp pays wage loss benefits until you are able to go back to work. If you suffer an amputation or disfigurement to your face or neck, you may be entitled to additional disability benefits (even if you are still able to work).

Taking a lump-sum settlement may or may not make sense for your situation. You should get legal counsel before agreeing to a settlement.

Workers’ compensation is a complex process. If you fail to follow specific steps and timelines, you risk damaging your claim or not getting the full spectrum of compensation available. Speak with an attorney to ensure your rights are protected.

There is no upfront or out-of-pocket cost to you. We provide a free initial consultation. You do not pay any legal fees unless and until we recover benefits for you.
