Know Your Rights When It Comes to Workers’ Compensation Claims
Employer Retaliation
If you've been injured at work, you might be apprehensive about informing your supervisor due to the fear of losing your job. However, under OSHA (The Federal Occupational Safety & Health Act of 1970), it is unlawful for your employer to retaliate or attempt to terminate your employment after filing a workers' compensation claim. In a workplace injury, informing your supervisor as soon as possible is important. Then, you can contact the Muller Brazil team to protect your employee rights. Steps to follow if you've been injured at work:
- You can immediately seek first aid and call 9-1-1.
- Could you inform your supervisor about your injury? Pennsylvania workers' compensation law mandates that supervisors be notified within 120 days of the injury.
- Please ask for legal representation from Muller Brazil - our team will guide you through the next steps while you recover from your work-related injury.
- Please file your workers' compensation claim.
- Gather information for your legal case (if applicable).

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I sue my employer?
In the majority of instances, Pennsylvania workers are not permitted to sue their employer for injuries sustained. Rather, you should file a workers' compensation claim to obtain your benefits. Nonetheless, there are situations where you can sue your employer, such as: if your employer fails to offer workers' compensation benefits or if you've been terminated or faced discrimination due to your claim. In such cases, you can file a wrongful termination lawsuit against your employer with the assistance of workers' compensation attorneys at Muller Brazil.
-
What if I caused the accident?
In Pennsylvania, even if the accident was due to your actions, you can still file a workers' compensation claim. As mandated by law, your employer must provide workers' compensation benefits, irrespective of who is responsible for the accident.

I’m injured, but I need my paycheck. Should I go to work this week?

What does workers’ compensation cover?
In Pennsylvania, workers' compensation encompasses medical expenses and benefits for lost wages.

According to Pennsylvania law, pain and suffering are not included in workers' compensation claims, meaning that emotional distress and physical pain are not covered.
