The Wounded Worker: A Guide for Injured Pennsylvania Workers
A Plain-Language Guide To The Pennsylvania Workers’ Comp Maze
The Wounded Worker gives you plain language checklists for reporting an injury, using panel providers, and protecting your wage loss benefits under Pennsylvania law. Attorney Gregory Boles wrote it for injured workers, not for lawyers — so you can find the answer you need without wading through statutes.
What The Guide Covers
- What to do in the first 24 hours after a workplace injury
- Reporting deadlines, and what happens if you miss them
- Panel providers — when you must use them and when you can choose your own doctor
- How wage loss benefits are calculated
- What a denial actually means, and how the appeal process works
- Independent medical examinations and how to prepare
- Lump sum settlements and what to weigh before agreeing to one
