The Purpose of Workers’ Compensation Benefits

Millions of Americans work in industries where they are likely to experience a work-related injury or illness. This can result in an individual missing work for weeks or even months in order to recover, which can place a tremendous financial strain on a person. Fortunately, workers’ compensation benefits exist to help those who have been injured on the job so that they can continue to receive temporary income until they are able to return to work.

If you or someone you know has been hurt while on the job, you may be entitled to workers’ comp in order to aid in your recovery. For more information, please contact a knowledgeable and experienced Pennsylvania workers’ compensation lawyer of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., at 610-667-7511 to get started with your case.

What Does Workers’ Compensation Cover?

If you have suffered an occupational injury or illness, you are likely to miss excessive time from work for medical treatment and recovery. Because many Americans live paycheck to paycheck, not being able to work for even a temporary amount of time can be devastating financially. Fortunately, workers’ compensation benefits may be able to cover the following if you have been injured on the job:

• Medical expenses
• Rehabilitation costs
• Therapy costs
• Lost income

Additionally, if you lose a loved one on the job due to wrongful death, your family may be entitled to compensation to help make up for the lost financial support of the deceased individual.
