Know Your Rights When It Comes to Workers’ Compensation Claims
$190k Won for a Slip & Fall
If you’ve been hurt at work, you may be concerned about telling your supervisor for fear that you will lose your job. Rest assured, under OSHA (The Federal Occupational Safety & Health Act of 1970) it is illegal for your employer to retaliate against you in any way or try to fire you after you’ve filed a workers’ compensation claim. If you’ve suffered a work injury, it is critical that you immediately notify your supervisor of your injury. Then contact the team at Muller Brazil to defend your employee rights. What to do if you’ve been injured on the job:
- Immediately seek first aid and call 9-1-1.

FAQs
-
Can I sue my employer?
In most cases, workers in Pennsylvania are not allowed to sue their employer for their injury. Instead, you file a workers’ compensation claim to receive your benefits. However, it is possible to sue your employer if: Your employer fails to provide workers’ compensation benefits, or if you’ve been fired or have experienced discrimination in response to your claim, you can file a wrongful termination lawsuit against your employer by using the workers' compensation lawyers at Muller Brazil.
-
What if I caused the accident?
Even if the accident was your fault, under Pennsylvania law, you may still submit a claim for workers’ compensation. Your employer is required to pay your workers’ compensation benefits, regardless of whose fault the accident was.
-
I’m injured, but I need my paycheck. Should I go to work this week?
Contact the team at Muller Brazil and tell us about the incident, your job-related injury, and steps you’ve taken after the accident. We’ll help you decide if it’s wise to return to work.
-
What does workers’ compensation cover?
In Pennsylvania, workers’ compensation covers medical bills and lost wages benefits. It’s best to think of workers’ compensation as repayment for the hard costs of healthcare and your missed paychecks. Pennsylvania law excludes pain and suffering from workers’ compensation claims. In other words, emotional stress and physical pain are not covered.
-
What should I do if my workers’ compensation claim was denied?
We’ve seen many instances where a workers’ compensation claim was denied but the employee is too injured to return to work due to a permanent disability. If you’re not sure what to do, get in touch with Muller Brazil today to find out how we can help.
