Our Pittsburgh workers’ compensation attorneys represent clients in every profession, including:

What Workers’ Compensation Covers in Pennsylvania
In Pittsburgh and throughout the state, workers’ compensation benefits are designed to keep injured workers financially secure while they recover. These benefits may include:
-
Full coverage of medical bills and treatment
-
Prescription medications and physical therapy
-
Wage loss benefits for missed time at work
-
Specific loss benefits for permanent injury or loss of function

Death benefits for families of workers killed on the job
Unfortunately, insurance companies often try to minimize or deny claims. Our Pittsburgh workers’ compensation attorneys make sure your case is handled properly and that your rights are protected.
