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.
We have the experience and knowledge to represent employees injured under a range of circumstances, including:
Caused by wet floors, uneven surfaces, cluttered walkways, or working from heights (e.g., ladders or scaffolding)
Resulting from defective machinery, improper operation, or lack of safety guards
Includes injuries from lifting heavy objects, repetitive motions, or prolonged physical strain
Involves accidents with work-related vehicles such as trucks, forklifts, or company cars
Injuries caused by physical altercations, attacks, or violent incidents in the workplace.

Injuries from electrical hazards, combustible materials, or malfunctioning equipment
Accidents involving building collapses, scaffold failures, or unstable work areas
