]]>Maragos, a Special Teams Captain, suffered a career-ending knee injury on October 12, 2017, during the Eagles’ run to their first Super Bowl championship. The Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act applies to professional athletes in all sports who suffer work-related injuries, subject to specific rules and benefit rates under Pennsylvania workers’ compensation law. These complex claims must be navigated in conjunction with the player’s contract, the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the Players’ Union and team owners, and, in some cases, contractual relationships involving the professional sports league itself.
Maragos first consulted with the Chicago-based law firm Meyers & Flowers. Recognizing the need for experienced Pennsylvania workers’ compensation counsel and honoring Maragos’ request for an attorney outside the usual network, the Illinois firm identified Attorney Schmidt as an aggressive advocate for injured workers. Schmidt did not disappoint. He recovered more than $500,000 in settlement of the workers’ compensation claim, along with a period of weekly wage loss benefits and an extended period of medical treatment following the settlement.
Following the knee injury suffered during a game against the Carolina Panthers, Maragos began treatment with team physicians and later with multiple surgeons and medical specialists. Schmidt was provided with a substantial volume of medical records dating back to Maragos’ time with the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers. Review of those records revealed multiple torn ligaments, although only one ligament was repaired during the initial surgical procedure. After surgery, Maragos was instructed to increase activity, which further injured unrepaired ligament damage. By December 2018, new physicians identified a failed procedure and the presence of a fragmented surgical screw.
Despite the severity of the injury and the need for multiple surgeries, the workers’ compensation claim was accepted as involving only a knee “sprain.” That characterization carried significant legal consequences. As a Certified Workers’ Compensation Specialist, Attorney Schmidt filed a petition to secure a full and accurate description of the injuries. During litigation of that petition and while claims against medical providers were being investigated, Schmidt negotiated resolution of the workers’ compensation case. That settlement allowed Maragos and his personal injury counsel to focus their efforts on issues involving negligent medical treatment.
Schmidt, Kirifides, Rassias & Rio was built to handle workers’ compensation cases the right way, from the first report of injury through litigation, settlement, or appeal.
Some large firms devote enormous resources to advertising, but the attorneys whose names appear on the firm rarely handle the case themselves. Clients are passed between departments and staff, with no single lawyer responsible for strategy or able to answer questions with firsthand knowledge of the claim.
At the other end of the spectrum, smaller firms may lack the time, staffing, or financial resources required to properly handle workers’ compensation cases as they progress. Even straightforward claims require careful attention, and disputed or denied claims often require advancing costs for medical records, expert testimony, and litigation expenses. Without the ability to commit those resources, cases can stall or be undervalued.
Schmidt, Kirifides, Rassias & Rio balances experience, resources, and personal involvement. Founded in 1997, the firm has represented injured workers for more than three decades and has successfully handled thousands of workers’ compensation cases across Pennsylvania, including new injury claims, denied claims, medical-only claims, wage loss cases, and settlements. From our office serving Delaware County and the Philadelphia region, the firm represents injured workers throughout the state. Defense counsel, insurance carriers, and Workers’ Compensation Judges know the firm for thorough preparation, consistent strategy, and a relentless commitment to injured workers at every stage of a claim.

]]>The Pennsylvania workers’ compensation system sets out specific benefits for injured workers and clear limits on what is and is not covered.
As a general rule, a work related injury entitles the claimant to workers’ compensation benefits, including:
The wage loss benefit rate is determined by law. It is not paid dollar for dollar, but it is not taxable.
Permanent loss of use of a body part and scarring above the collar bone may yield a fixed award.
There is no award for pain and suffering in the workers’ compensation system.
Workers’ Compensation is an administrative agency system. It is not part of the Court of Common Pleas.
Judges handle only workers’ compensation claims and have no jurisdiction to decide any other issues.
There are general rules applicable to every judge in every county of Pennsylvania. Judges also have some flexibility to establish and enforce certain rules and procedures on their own.
The average petition can take approximately six to nine months before a decision is issued. During that time, there are multiple hearings to ensure all evidence is obtained and presented pursuant to deadlines established by the judge.
Video hearings are conducted by most judges since COVID, although in person hearings may be ordered or requested in certain circumstances.
Disputed cases are litigated through formal petitions. A more detailed explanation of workers’ compensation petitions is available if you want deeper guidance.
A Claim Petition is used to seek benefits when a claim has been denied or ignored.
The injured worker has the burden to prove all elements required to support an award of benefits, including that the injury occurred in the course of employment, resulted in disability, and that the employer was timely and properly notified.
The employer has the burden to prove any defenses, including allegations that the injury resulted from a policy violation, intoxication, or personal reasons unrelated to work.
A Review Petition may be filed by either the injured worker or the employer if there was a mistake in the way the claim was accepted.
The most common issues involve the description of injury and the pre injury average weekly wage and benefit rate. The burden of proof is on the party seeking to change the originally accepted terms.
A Termination Petition is filed by the employer or insurance carrier to stop payment of all benefits based on evidence that the injured worker is fully recovered.
The evidence is most commonly an opinion from a doctor hired by the insurance company.
A Modification or Suspension Petition is filed by the employer or insurance company to challenge wage loss benefits based on one of two theories:
Each situation involves numerous elements the employer must prove.
A Reinstatement Petition is filed by the injured worker when benefits have been modified, suspended, or terminated and the reason for stopping benefits has changed and disability has recurred.
A Penalty Petition may be filed by the claimant if the employer or insurance company has violated a provision of the Workers’ Compensation Act, requesting that a penalty be imposed.
The utilization review process begins with a request seeking review of treatment records to determine whether the treatment plan is reasonable and necessary.
If either party disputes the determination, a petition may be filed and the issue is decided by a judge.
A Compromise and Release is a settlement in the workers’ compensation forum. Workers’ compensation cases cannot be settled out of court. All settlements must be approved by a Workers’ Compensation Judge.
If you are considering settlement, it is critical to understand that a settlement is generally final. Learn more about workers’ comp settlements.
The purpose of the hearing is to ensure the injured worker understands the terms and conditions, all options have been explained, all questions have been answered, and the injured worker understands the settlement cannot be reopened except as specifically stated in the agreement.
No one can force either party to settle a workers’ compensation case. Not the attorneys, not the judge, and not the appellate courts.
If the parties do not settle, the judge will determine whether benefits continue, are modified, or are terminated.
In the workers’ compensation system, the judge has sole and exclusive authority to determine the facts of the case.
Each side may present whatever evidence it believes is necessary. If one side presents testimony from ten doctors and the other side presents testimony from one doctor, the judge may still choose to believe the single doctor.
Appeal courts do not reevaluate the evidence. They only determine whether the judge acted within authority, whether there is some evidence supporting the decision, and whether the law was applied correctly.
This information represents only a small portion of workers’ compensation law. It is a complex and constantly evolving field.
The Pennsylvania Bar Association and the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania recognize this complexity through a specialist certification for lawyers who dedicate their practice to workers’ compensation, meet experience requirements, and pass written examinations.
Even lawyers who dabble in workers’ compensation law often lack the day to day knowledge required to navigate this system effectively.
All information above is general. Specific rules, procedures, and issues can vary from case to case.
If you have been injured at work, you need the experience of a certified specialist. If you need help, speak with our Workers’ Compensation Lawyers.

Billboards on I 95. Commercials during Phillies games and Eagles timeouts.
BIG SETTLEMENTS FAST. CALL NOW. WE WIN.
Let’s be honest.
Those firms are built to sign cases not personally represent injured workers.
Here’s what the commercials never show.
You almost never speak to the lawyer on the billboard.
Instead, your case passes through:
Different lawyers may handle:
No one truly knows your entire case.
Your story gets chopped up between departments.
By the time you meet a lawyer, the firm already got what it wanted:
your case added to their advertising-driven pipeline.
Two words: Volume and speed.
Insurance companies know which firms settle fast.
Judges know too, even if it’s not said out loud.
Billboard and TV firms can spend hundreds of thousands each month staying visible.
They cannot fight long battles on every case.
So what happens?
Fast settlements become part of the business model.
Your case becomes:
That is the trade-off behind flashy marketing.
Because advertising budgets demand speed.
In 2024, law firms spent over 2.5 billion dollars on ads.

That cost has to be recouped — fast.
So:
Your recovery should not be someone else’s marketing quota.

If your lawyer is on 20 billboards, you probably will never meet them.
If your calls go to “case managers,” you are not getting personal representation.

Over 30 years. Thousands of victories. Millions recovered.
Not one dollar spent on billboards — every dollar spent on clients.
In Pennsylvania, injured workers may be eligible for wage-loss benefits, medical coverage, and specific loss benefits. Acting quickly and correctly gives you the strongest chance of receiving the benefits you deserve.
Below are three steps every injured worker should take.
If your injury is an emergency, get immediate medical treatment. If not, report the injury and ask your employer about the designated medical providers. Following approved treatment procedures helps avoid delays and disputes in your claim.
Tell your supervisor right away. Even if you report verbally, you should also provide written notice within 30 days of the accident. Include the date, time, how the injury happened, and the body parts affected.
Documentation matters. Delays or unclear reporting can hurt your claim.
Keep detailed notes about your symptoms, medical visits, work limitations, and daily recovery. Save copies of all medical records, work restrictions, prescriptions, and bills. Follow the treatment plan and attend appointments consistently.
Strong documentation supports your case and avoids disputes from the insurance carrier.
Missing steps or delaying action can put your benefits at risk. Speaking with a work injury attorney early ensures you know your rights and avoid common mistakes.

Most Pennsylvania workers compensation cases start with temporary total disability (TTD) benefits. These payments replace part of your lost wages while you are completely unable to work. Understanding how TTD benefits work can help protect your rights and prevent benefit reductions.
Our Certified Workers Compensation Specialists represent injured workers across Delaware County including Media, Upper Darby, Drexel Hill, Springfield, Chester, and nearby communities.
You may receive TTD benefits for up to 104 weeks while you remain totally disabled. After that period, the insurance company may request an Impairment Rating Evaluation (IRE) with an approved physician. The doctor assigns a whole person impairment percentage based on medical evidence.
If the rating is 35 percent or higher, you are presumed to remain totally disabled. If the rating is less than 35 percent, the insurance company may seek to convert your status to partial disability, which usually limits wage loss payments to 500 weeks.
Temporary total disability benefits include wage loss payments and medical coverage paid by the insurance carrier. Payments may continue weekly or may later be resolved through a lump sum settlement. In cases involving catastrophic injuries such as an amputation or loss of vision, you may also qualify for specific loss benefits in addition to wage replacement.
If a severe work injury contributes to a worker’s death, surviving dependents may receive death benefits. These can include funeral and burial expenses and continuing wage loss payments for a widow and dependent children.
Insurance carriers often challenge long-term disability claims to reduce what they pay. Missing deadlines or failing to respond correctly can threaten your benefits. Speaking with a local work injury attorney early can help protect your financial security and medical coverage.

Below are common errors that delay benefits or harm a claim.
Report your injury to your employer as soon as possible. Waiting can delay payments and give the insurance company room to question your claim. Tell a supervisor in writing and document when and how you reported the injury.
Never downplay symptoms or change your story. Insurance companies look for inconsistencies. Be honest, thorough, and make sure medical records match the facts of your accident and injuries.
Stopping treatment, missing appointments, or ignoring medical advice hurts both your health and your claim. Insurance carriers argue that your injury is not serious if you do not follow through with care.
Workers’ compensation rules are complex, and one misstep can cost you wage-loss benefits or medical coverage. Speaking with a local work injury attorney early can protect your rights and move your claim forward.

At Schmidt, Kirifides, Rassias & Rio, we help injured workers in Delaware County understand their rights under Pennsylvania law and get the benefits they’re entitled to for as long as they need them. Here’s what you need to know about the duration of workers’ compensation benefits in Pennsylvania.
In Pennsylvania, workers’ compensation provides wage loss benefits to employees who are unable to work or can only work in a limited capacity due to a job-related injury or illness. These benefits typically cover about two-thirds of your average weekly wage, up to a state-mandated maximum. The length of time you can receive wage loss benefits depends on how your injury is classified:
If your injury leaves you completely unable to work, you may receive TTD benefits. There is no fixed time limit for how long these benefits can continue; however, after 104 weeks (approximately two years), you may be required to undergo an Impairment Rating Evaluation (IRE).
If the IRE finds that your level of impairment is less than 35%, your benefits may be converted to Partial Disability, which can continue for a maximum of 500 weeks (about 9.5 years). If your impairment is 35% or greater, you may continue receiving TTD.
Partial Disability benefits are available if you can work in some capacity but are earning less than you did before the injury. These benefits are limited to 500 weeks, regardless of your level of income loss.
Medical benefits under Pennsylvania workers’ compensation are designed to cover all reasonable and necessary medical expenses related to your work injury. This includes doctor visits, surgeries, prescriptions, therapy, and medical equipment.
There is no time limit on how long you can receive medical treatment, as long as the care remains related to your injury and continues to be deemed necessary. However, disputes over whether a treatment is “reasonable” or “work-related” are common. Insurers may request Utilization Reviews to challenge ongoing treatment. It’s critical to have a workers’ compensation attorney from our firm on your side if you’re facing pushback from the insurance company.
Your benefits may stop under any of the following circumstances:
If your benefits are suspended or terminated, you have the right to challenge the decision, but strict timelines apply, and legal representation is essential to protecting your claim.
The Pennsylvania workers’ compensation system is complex and can feel stacked against injured workers. Insurance companies often try to reduce the length of time you receive benefits or pressure you into settling too soon. Don’t go through it alone.
At Schmidt, Kirifides, Rassias & Rio, we’ve dedicated our careers to standing up for hardworking people throughout Delaware County. Whether you’re just starting your claim or worried your benefits may end prematurely, we’re here to help you every step of the way.

]]>Under certain conditions, it also provides benefits for mental or emotional stress-related injuries. These cases are more complex than traditional claims, but they are real, valid, and worth pursuing. If you’re suffering from work-related psychological harm in Delaware County, you may be entitled to compensation, and the attorneys at Schmidt Kirifides, Rassias & Rio are here to help you understand your rights.
Yes, but with some significant limitations. Pennsylvania law allows workers to seek compensation for mental health conditions that arise due to their work. This can include conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, or panic disorders.
However, not all mental health issues qualify. To receive benefits, you must prove that your psychological condition is directly related to your employment. There are two general categories of stress-related claims in Pennsylvania:
Mental health workers’ compensation claims often require extensive documentation and clear medical evidence showing the connection between your work and your emotional condition.
For physical injuries, the connection between work and the injury is often apparent. A fall from a ladder or an equipment malfunction leaves behind visible evidence. Emotional and psychological injuries, on the other hand, are more complex to document.
To be approved for workers’ comp benefits in Delaware County for a stress-related condition, you must show:
Abnormal working conditions don’t mean tight deadlines or difficult supervisors. You will need to demonstrate something unexpected or unusually traumatic, such as workplace violence, a serious accident, or targeted harassment.
These claims are difficult not because your suffering isn’t real but because the legal system demands a high level of proof. Insurance companies frequently deny mental stress claims, arguing that the stress was no worse than what any worker might experience or that your condition stems from personal issues rather than your job.
In these cases, a knowledgeable Delaware County workers’ compensation lawyer becomes essential. A Delaware County workers’ compensation attorney from Schmidt Kirifides, Rassias & Rio can help gather medical opinions, workplace evidence, and witness testimony to support your claim. We understand how to frame your case and communicate the seriousness of your condition under Pennsylvania’s legal standards.
If your workers’ compensation claim is approved, you may receive:
Just like with physical injuries, these benefits are designed to help you heal and maintain financial stability while you recover.
Mental health injuries deserve just as much attention and respect as physical ones. If you’ve been struggling with emotional or psychological trauma caused by your job, you have the right to seek help and potentially receive compensation.
At Schmidt Kirifides, Rassias & Rio, we’ve been helping injured workers across Delaware County for decades. We know how tough it can be to speak up about mental health, and we handle every case with the compassion, discretion, and skill it deserves.
Call us today at 610-892-9300 or contact us online to schedule a free consultation. Let us help you take the first step toward healing physically, emotionally, and financially.
]]>If you have experienced an injury as a healthcare worker, you do have options. At Schmidt, Kirifides, Rassias & Rio, we have seen the toll that the healthcare industry has had on hardworking individuals such as yourself. In this blog, our Delaware County workers’ compensation attorneys discuss the range of benefits available to healthcare workers filing a workers’ compensation claim.
Healthcare workers are entitled to full coverage of all reasonable and necessary medical expenses related to their workplace injury. This applies regardless of the circumstances behind your injury as long as it occurred within the scope of your employment.
If you are filing a workers’ compensation claim in Delaware County, you will be eligible to receive the following medical benefits:
If your work injury results in the loss of a body part or organ, the use of a body part or organ, a traumatic amputation, or significant scarring to your head, neck, or face, you may be eligible for specific loss benefits. To recover specific loss benefits, the loss must be permanent.
77 P.S. §513 lists the schedule of compensation for specific loss benefits, with the following body parts being worthy of note:
If you are able to return to work, you may be able to receive partial disability while simultaneously receiving specific loss benefits. If you are confused about the process of applying for specific loss benefits, you should speak with a workers’ compensation attorney.
In most cases, injured healthcare workers will recoup two-thirds of their lost wages under a workers’ comp claim. This is based on an employee’s average weekly wage (AWW). Pennsylvania law sets a weekly maximum benefit amount of $1,347.00 for injuries occurring on or after January 1, 2025. For lower wage earners, minimum compensation is calculated based on the lesser of 90% of the employee’s AWW or 50% of the SAWW.
While a noble profession, the rate of abuse amongst healthcare workers is a far-reaching issue, only gaining traction. At Schmidt, Kirifides, Rassias & Rio, we make it our mission to help healthcare workers access the treatment they need following a workplace injury.
Given the demand placed on healthcare workers, it is only fair that you are given the same benefits as other injured employees. If you are interested in speaking with one of our Delaware County workers’ compensation attorneys, feel free to contact us online or give us a call at (610) 892-9300 today. We offer free, confidential initial case evaluations.
