Pittsburgh Workers’ Compensation Lawyers with a Century of Experience

Workers’ compensation (often referred to as workers comp or workmans comp), provides medical and wage loss benefits to people who have been injured on the job. Injured workers seek out a workplace injury lawyer when:

• They were hurt on the job and the insurance company has denied their claim.
• They are on workers’ compensation and the insurance company is not paying for medical treatment.
• They were sent back to work to perform a light-duty job.
• The insurance company has made an offer to settle a claim workers’ compensation claim.
• The insurance company has filed a petition to modify or terminate their workers’ compensation benefits.

Our attorneys are committed to protecting the interests of working people. We represent labor unions and provide discounted legal fees to union members, and have represented thousands of workers’ compensation claimants, including construction workers, laborers, carpenters, ironworkers, electricians and union members throughout the construction trades.

When to hire a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

The Pennsylvania Workers’ Act is complex and most employers have Human Resources departments and experienced attorneys representing their interests. If you have been injured on the job you need to contact a workers’ compensation lawyer. Call a workers’ compensation attorney if your employer or their insurance company asks you to sign documents to settle a claim, or your benefits are being terminated, modified, changed or denied. There is a limited amount of time to file a worker’s compensation claim so it is important to speak with a lawyer when you have been injured on the job.
