Schuylkill Workplace Injury Lawyers

The Pennsylvania Department of Labor reports that approximately 85,000 people a year are injured on the job in Pennsylvania.   If you have been injured in a Schuylkill County workplace accident or fallen ill from a disease related to your job, you are entitled to workers' compensation benefits for your medical bills and your lost wages.  If your injuries stem from the negligence of someone other than your employer or a co-worker, you may be able to seek personal injury compensation from the liable party.

Regardless of whether your on-the-job injury involves workers’ compensation or a third-party lawsuit, Munley, Munley & Cartwright knows Pennsylvania's laws, and we know how to get you the money and benefits you deserve.

Most employees are covered under the Pennsylvania or Federal Workers' compensation law.  Workers who are covered are protected from the first day on the job.  They are entitled to medical care by a health care provider of their choice and compensation for lost income if they become permanently or temporarily disabled.

Even though you may be entitled to benefits, there is always the chance that your claim will be denied or that you will only receive a fraction of what you are entitled to.  If this happens, immediately contact the PA workers' compensation attorneys at Munley, Munley, & Cartwright. We have successfully handled workers' comp claims and we can help you obtain benefits you've worked for.

If your workers' compensation claim is denied, you are entitled to file a Claim Petition with the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry. The Petition will be assigned to a workers' compensation judge who will hold a hearing to take testimony and medical evidence to substantiate your claim. Based on the information presented at the hearing, the judge will make a determination regarding your eligibility to receive workers' compensation benefits.  Do not put your benefits at risk by going to the hearing without experienced legal counsel. We can help you prepare your paperwork and medical history and represent you before the workers' compensation judge.

If your injury stems from a third party, such as a general contractor, a subcontractor or the manufacturer of a defective piece of equipment, we can help you file a claim against that responsible party. When your injury is caused by someone other than your employer or a co-employee, you can recover additional money, above and beyond workers' compensation, including money for lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering, and job or retirements benefits that were lost because of your time away from work.

If you or someone you love has been injured at work, please contact the Pennsylvania workplace injury attorneys of Munley, Munley & Cartwright by calling 1-800-318-LAW1 or by filling out our quick contact form free of charge.
