Pennsylvania Workers Compensation

Workers compensation is insurance coverage that employers must provide to their employees. It covers injuries that are due to negligence, an accident or a purposeful act at no cost to the worker. If a company does not adhere to workers compensation laws, there will be substantial fines and possibly a stop of the business operations.

There is protocol to follow in Scranton work injury claims. The injured employee notifies his or her supervisor who then reports the injury to the insurance company. The employee must visit a workers comp provider or alert a member of the emergency room staff. The benefit of workers compensation is that the employee has no out-of-pocket medical expenses and can receive benefits if he or she is unable to work.
