How Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Works

Workers’ comp is employer-paid insurance that covers medical care and part of your lost wages for work-related injuries and illnesses.

• Coverage applies to nearly every employee from day one.
• No fault — you don’t have to prove who caused the injury.
• Notice — tell your employer quickly; within 21 days preserves the strongest rights (absolute deadline: 120 days).
• Medical benefits pay reasonable, necessary treatment.
• Wage loss benefits replace income when you can’t work or earn less.
• Disputes/denials go before a Workers’ Compensation Judge; appeals are available.
