Work Related Injuries

Experienced Workers’ Compensation Legal Help

Workers’ compensation benefits under the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act are a vital safety net, offering financial and medical support for employees recovering from work-related injuries or illnesses. Unlike personal injury lawsuits, workers’ compensation operates under a no-fault system—there’s no need to prove employer negligence, only that your injury occurred while performing job-related duties. Still, navigating the workers’ compensation system can be complex, especially when dealing with medical bills, lost wages, or long-term disabilities.

At Norman Mittman Law, we simplify the process by providing expert legal guidance and compassionate support. From filing claims to challenging denied benefits, we handle the legal complexities to secure the maximum compensation you deserve. Whether you’re facing a recent injury or appealing a denied claim, we advocate for your rights every step of the way.

Qualifying Injuries for Work Related Injuries

Workplace injuries can vary widely, but workers’ compensation typically covers those that arise directly from job-related duties. Common examples of qualifying injuries include:

  • Acute Traumatic Injuries: Broken bones, fractures, lacerations, burns, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), amputations or limb loss, internal organ damage, or spinal injuries caused by sudden accidents.
  • Chronic Conditions & Illnesses: Repetitive stress injuries, respiratory illnesses, vision or hearing loss, occupational cancers, or spinal injuries resulting from repetitive strain or poor ergonomics.
  • Psychological Injuries: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, or depression caused by traumatic workplace incidents or prolonged stress.
  • Workplace-Related Fatalities: In the most tragic cases, death benefits may be available for surviving family members.
