Philadelphia On the Job Injury Wage Loss Benefits Attorney
Most construction workers, office workers, truckers and others who are injured on the job do not know their workers' compensation rights. Their employers are not obligated to tell them their rights either. Not knowing exactly what to do, injured workers can make mistakes or their employers can make bad decisions that can have dire consequences on an injured worker's ability to obtain medical benefits and cover financial expenses with wage loss benefits.
A lot of injured workers are under the mistaken belief that the insurance carrier or their rehabilitation nurse is working on their side. Nothing could be further from the truth. These injured workers will come into our office saying that the nurse has been telling them what to do and is helping them. The nurse and the insurance representative are both working for your company's insurance carrier — not for you.
