Fried & Davis - Workers' Compensation Law

Home | Practice Areas | Workers' Compensation Law

Our Pittsburgh workers' compensation lawyers have assisted clients throughout Pennsylvania who have been hurt at work obtain compensation for their work injuries.

If you reside in the Western Pennsylvania area and were injured during "the course and scope of your employment" you may be entitled to receive wage-loss benefits from your employer. You may also be entitled to payment for "reasonable and necessary" medical treatment which is "causally related" to your work injury.

These benefits might even be available to you if you have returned to work but are earning less than you were at the time of your injury. You may also be entitled to receive benefits for disfigurement to the head, face or neck; or for the specific loss of a body part such as a finger, hand or eye. You may also be entitled to compensation for work-related hearing loss or other occupational diseases.

If you have been receiving workers' compensation benefits, but your employer has sought to reduce, suspend or terminate those benefits, we may be able to help you keep those benefits.

If your benefits have already been stopped, we may be able to have them reinstated. If medical treatment related to your work injury has been denied, we may assist with having such treatment approved. We can also assist with presenting penalty petitions related to violations of the Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Act.

Before speaking with an insurance company or their lawyers about settling your Pennsylvania workers' compensation claim, you should contact an attorney who can assist you in making decisions about your case. If you have already talked to an insurance company it is even more important that you get in touch with an attorney who can explain your rights.

At Fried & Davis, our lawyers are sensitive to the unique issues facing you and your loved ones. Our Pittsburgh based attorneys' experience in the insurance industry gives you a unique strategic advantage. We understand the techniques and strategies used by insurance companies to deny compensation or to leverage workers into settling their claims. We utilize that knowledge when preparing your case and dealing with insurance companies and their lawyers.

For a free case evaluation, please contact Scott Levine. We can answer your questions and review the options which may be available to you. We are even willing to visit your home to meet with you at your convenience.
