Benefits During the Recovery Period

Many workplace injuries are severe enough to require significant amounts of time away from work for convalescence, resulting in the added financial strain of lost wages on top of the initial medical costs. When this occurs, workers’ compensation benefits can help to cover these expenses, allowing an injured worker the financial support to live comfortably during their period of recovery.

Unfortunately, insurance companies are loath to award a significant amount of benefits, and securing Pennsylvania workers’ compensation for a period when you are recovering from an injury can be difficult. However, the legal team at Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., has years of experience and success, and a Pennsylvania workers’ compensation lawyer will work tirelessly to help secure any benefits to which you are entitled. Call today at 610-667-7511 to learn more about your legal options.

When You Can Receive Benefits

Healing period benefits are only intended for those who are temporarily unable to work due to an injury they sustained while at work. Benefits will be terminated if any of the following are met:

• The beneficiary returns to work
• The beneficiary has recovered to the doctor’s expectations
• The beneficiary has recovered to a level which allows them to return to work

Following any of these thresholds, the beneficiary is expected to relinquish all workers’ compensation benefits.
