According to the Pennsylvania Worker's Compensation Act, all employers, which include non-profit organizations, must issue full-time workers, part-time workers, and seasonal employees (not contractors) workers compensation insurance. If you are injured while on the job you may be entitled to compensation for the following:

• medical care
• payment for loss of limb or use of
• lost wages
• payment for severe disfigurement
• death benefits

Virtually all injuries caused by a work-related accident are covered by the Pennsylvania Worker's Compensation Act. The only injuries that may not be included are intentionally self-inflicted injuries, injuries caused by intoxication or illegal drub use, injuries that occur when a co-worker attacks you for personal reasons, injuries that occur when an non-employed person attacks you for non job related reasons, and injuries caused by breaking the law.

Time plays a big part in filing a claim. Illnesses that occur from exposure to certain materials such as asbestos or benzenes are covered under the Worker's Compensation Act. Such exposures can lead to lifetime disability or even death. Under the Worker's Compensation Act, work-loss benefit and medical benefits may be covered. Death benefits are usually paid to the dependent survivors if the death occurred from a work related injury or illness. Having to deal with a trauma such as a work related injury that leaves a person disabled is devastating. Having someone to fight for that worker's rights can make the adjustment to everyday life somewhat easier so that the worker can focus on becoming well again.
