Workers' Compensation

Pittsburgh Workers' Compensation Lawyers

If you were injured on the job, you are entitled to compensation through the Pennsylvania workers' compensation system. In addition, if your injury was caused by the negligence of a third party or the use of defective equipment at work, you may be able to bring a personal injury claim.

In order to get all the compensation you deserve, you need to understand your rights. Talk to an experienced injury lawyer at the Pittsburgh law office of Woomer & Hall. We represent steel workers, nurses, construction workers, truck drivers, boilermakers, AFSCME and AFL-CIO members, police officers, PennDOT workers, mechanics, bricklayers, carpenters and other workers in communities throughout western Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia.

Our workers' comp attorneys focus on your RESULT. We are able to get benefits in nearly all the cases we handle. If your claim was unfairly denied or you are not receiving benefit checks within two weeks of reporting your injury, contact us. We charge no fee of any kind unless we recover benefits for you.

• Did the workers' compensation insurance company deny your claim for a slip and fall injury?
• Did your employer push you into returning to work too soon, aggravating a back injury?
• Is workers' comp threatening to terminate your benefits or telling you that you have to take a job that is inappropriate?

In each of these situations, an experienced workers' compensation lawyer can help.

A work injury and occupational disease qualifies you to receive lost wage replacement, medical reimbursement, and payment for permanent disability or disfigurement. We've helped workers with these and other medical problems, including:

• Stress-related hypertension, heart attack, stroke and pulmonary embolism
• Repetitive stress disorders (common to workers on assembly lines and desk jobs) including carpal tunnel syndrome, back strain, rotator cuff injury and tendonitis
• Injuries from industrial accidents (regardless of OSHA work safety compliance or violations) such as burns, electrocutions, concussions, brain injuries, loss of limbs and toxic exposure
• Occupational diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, bakers' lung and cancer
• Injuries from falls, including back, neck and spinal cord injuries and bone fractures
• Car accident injuries if you were harmed while driving for work

Please note, if your employer does not carry workers' compensation insurance, your lost wages and medical expenses will be covered under the Pennsylvania Uninsured Employers' Guarantee Fund or the West Virginia Uninsured Employer Fund.

If your workers' compensation claim has been denied or your employer is not cooperating, it may be time to consider legal advice. Do not make a statement to an insurance company and do not sign any settlement form until you are sure you have received all the compensation to which you are entitled.
