Workers compensation (colloquially known as workers’ comp in Pennsylvania and the rest of the United States ) is a form of insurance that provides compensation medical care for employees who are injured in the course of employment, in exchange for mandatory relinquishment of the employee’s right to sue his or her employer for the tort of negligence. 

The tradeoff between assured, limited coverage and lack of recourse outside the worker compensation system is known as “the compensation bargain.” While plans differ between jurisdictions, provision can be made for weekly payments in place of wages (functioning in this case as a form of disability insurance), compensation for economic loss (past and future), reimbursement or payment of medical and like expenses (functioning in this case as a form of health insurance), and benefits payable to the dependents of workers killed during employment (functioning in this case as a form of life insurance). General damages for pain and suffering, and punitive damages for employer negligence, are generally not available in worker compensation plans. 

Employees’ compensation laws are usually a feature of highly developed industrial societies, implemented after long and hard-fought struggles by trade unions. Supporters of such programs believe they improve working conditions and provide an economic safety net for employees. Conversely, these programs are often criticized for removing or restricting workers’ common-law rights (such as suit in tort for negligence) in order to reduce governments’ or insurance companies’ financial liability.

The Ciccarelli Law Offices’ Workers Compensation Team works for you when you have been injured at work.  Everyone has a right to a safe work place and everyone deserves a worker’s compensation process that is fair, reasonable and calculated to protect an injured worker.   Do you have a worker’s compensation lawyer you can trust; who is available when you need him most?   Have you been injured at work?  at a work site? in a car accident or truck accident while you work working?   

If so, rely on an experienced workers compensation team for representation in or near Downingtown PA, who is experienced in representing injured workers before the Workers Compensation Judge’s in Malvern.  

Needless to say, the insurance companies that manage workers compensation in Pennsylvania rarely play by the rules; they all so often seem to be motivated by money and making sure that injured workers are hurried back to work or are let go.  You deserve better. 

Though workers compensation was designed so that a claimant could make a claim on his own, the age of big insurance has changed that; with insurance companies regularly contesting the most reasonable of claims.  You need an experienced Workers Compensation lawyer because claims get denied, because insurance companies try to suspend or terminate your benefits, medical bills don’t get paid, or when you are ready for a lump sum settlement and need an experienced attorney to get you the most you deserve. 

In some instances, injuries suffered at the workplace are the result of a third party, or someone who is either not your employer or a co-worker. If this is the case, Ciccarelli Law Offices can help you make a claim for personal injury claim against the responsible parties in addition to your workers compensation claim.
