Workers’ Compensation Lawyers Serving Scranton and Lackawanna County
Workers’ compensation claims can change as treatment progresses, work restrictions change, or the insurer challenges disability. We review the injury, medical records, wage information, notices, IME requests, and benefit status.
Our Scranton team represents workers throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania and evaluates potential third-party claims when another company, driver, property owner, or equipment manufacturer contributed to the injury.
Tell Us What Happened
Free consultation. We can review what happened and explain the next steps.
01
Denied Claims
A denial can be challenged. The reason for denial, medical evidence, and notice history should be reviewed.
02
Wage-Loss Benefits
Disputes may involve total disability, partial disability, earning capacity, or return-to-work offers.
03
Medical Treatment
Provider issues, authorizations, utilization review, and treatment disputes can affect recovery.
04
Independent Medical Exams
An IME can become important when an insurer is evaluating whether benefits should continue.
05
Return-to-Work Issues
Light-duty jobs, restrictions, wages, and job availability can all affect benefit status.
06
Third-Party Claims
Some work injuries also support a separate claim against a negligent contractor, driver, property owner, or manufacturer.
What Should You Do After a Workplace Injury?
Prompt reporting, consistent treatment, and careful recordkeeping can protect the claim.
- Report the injury to your employer and keep a record of when and how you reported it.
- Seek appropriate medical care and accurately describe how the injury happened.
- Keep work restrictions, medical records, benefit checks, and insurer notices.
- Do not ignore petitions, hearing notices, IME requests, or return-to-work documents.
- Track lost time, reduced wages, travel, and treatment-related expenses.
- Get legal guidance before signing documents that may affect your benefits.
