Thousands of workers across the United States are injured every day in workplace accidents. When people are hurt on the job, they don’t always know what steps they need to take to protect themselves. Being unable to work can be as difficult as the injury itself, because people take pride in their work and identify with it in some way. They also take pride in themselves and their ability to make a living and provide for their families. A workplace injury can take that source of pride away. Sometimes employees decide not to pursue a workers’ compensation claim fearing they may be demoted or lose their job. Or, they wait until after the deadline to file a workers’ compensation claim and miss-out on receiving necessary medical treatment and compensation (money) for permanent or partial disabilities brought on by workplace injuries. At the Ramsay Law Firm, PA, we take the time to teach our clients about their legal rights by guiding them through the entire workers’ compensation process.
