INJURIES COVERED BY WORKERS' COMPENSATION
Even if this doesn’t occur at the location of work, it must take place during the duration of your employment to claim compensation from the employer. Furthermore, there are some injuries that make you eligible to claim compensation. These are the types of injury and illness that are usually covered by workers' compensation:
Traumatic injuries: Even if the injuries took place from a single incident, you must get a financial settlement. For instance, an injury involving heavy equipment.
Cumulative trauma: These injuries may be a result of repetitious movement or pressure. For example, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, or backache, etc.
Occupational ailment: If you get the side effects of toxic chemical exposure in the workplace.
Mental health damages: we all know how common psychological conditions like PTSD or major depressive disorder have become. And, if they stem from a workplace injury, don’t hesitate to call PA workers compensation lawyers.
Death: If the employee loses his life because of a workrelated injury or illness, his family must claim compensation from the state or the employer.
Not only that, depending on your profession and the regulations in your state, you might get workers' comp benefits if you contract COVID19 in the course of your job. So, whatever your case is, contact PA workers compensation lawyers for guidance.
