The Bulldog Lawyers Publish A Guide On Workers' Compensation

March 30, 2016 - PRESSADVANTAGE -

BulldogLawyers.com has released a guideline for anyone who has been injured on the job in Pennsylvania and has questions regarding the process of filing a workers’ compensation claim.

Every year, thousands of hard working professionals are seriously injured at work. Some of the most common injuries sustained on the job include burns, amputations, toxic exposure, bone, muscle, and joint damage, back and spinal injuries, animal bites, electrocution, brain injuries, and overexertion. These injuries typically require extensive medical care, hospitalization, and physical therapy. More often than not, the injured employee is unable to return to work, either temporarily or permanently.

Injured workers are entitled to file a workers’ compensation claim so that the medical expenses and a fraction of lost wages are covered. Unfortunately, the worker’s compensation system is far from perfect and even something as simple as an incorrectly filled out form can result in a denial.

Working with a workers’ compensation lawyer can make this process much less stressful and can ensure that an employee receives the benefits they need as soon as possible. For those who have already received a denial, an attorney can help them determine the reason for the denial, file an appeal, speak to the insurance company, and represent them at any hearings.

The guideline that The Bulldog Lawyers have published addresses frequently asked questions that the lawyers are asked by clients, including how to file, what types of medical expenses are covered, and how long an injured employee can collect benefits for.

The firm has assisted Pennsylvania workers who have been injured on the job for more than 40 years and are committed to providing their clients with excellent legal assistance. For more information, contact their office at (800) 681-7000.
