Important Things to Consider
In Workers Comp Law
According to the Workers’ Comp Act, employees who are injured on the job have a
right to compensation by their employer. The law aims to safeguard the rights of the
injured worker and provide them benefits. The laws are fairly complex for the
injured employee to handle on their own and therefore, it is recommended that
they get the help of an injured worker attorney.
Here is free workers comp information for Pittsburgh
s
Workers who are injured on their jobs are provided with cash or medical benefits by
their employers, according to the Work Comp Law.
Employers are required to pay for the medical bills of their injured worker as well as
weekly cash benefits, while the employee is not required to contribute into it at any
cost.
When a work comp case is filed, no party is considered to be at fault and the
amount that the worker receives is solely based on the extent on the treatment of
their injury and their weekly average wage.
A worker will lose the case if the injury has occurred due to their intoxication from
alcohol or drugs.
If the workers injury is such that they can return to work but can’t earn the same
wages as before, they may be subjected to compensation that will be 2/3 of the
difference.
