Pennsylvania Job Injury Attorney With More Than 26 years of Experience
Workers who have been hurt on the job often ask: "Why hire a lawyer when it is my right to have workers' compensation benefits?"
If only it were that easy. Many injured workers mistakenly believe that the workers' compensation claims adjuster or the rehabilitation nurse is on their side. Nothing could be further from the truth. They often try to force you back to work before you are physically ready. They regularly deny necessary medical treatment or diagnostic tests such as MRIs or EMGs that your family doctor has prescribed.
By law your employer does not even need to tell you your rights regarding workers' compensation.
Richard A. Jaffe has been fighting for injured workers for 26-plus years. Contact a Philadelphia workers' compensation attorney at 215-268-7348 or 866-959-8856.
