Legal Question in Personal Injury in Pennsylvania
I slipped on ice at work during my 15 min. break. I hurt my back, knees and pulled the muscles in my shoulders. I did report it to my work. Would it be unreasonable for me to ask to be paid for the hours I have lost and also ask to start with a clean work record?

You probably have a work comp injury. Work comp pays for your medical bills and for all wage loss after the first 5 days. Be careful in what you do--you're probably anticipating that your injury will get better in a few days. But if it doesn't, and if you don't do things correctly now, you'll be very sorry. Feel free to call to discuss.

If you suffer an injury in the course and scope of your emploment, you are eligible to receive worker's compensation benefits. Injuires that occur on a break are typically covered if it is a small departure from work (i.e.lunch,coffeee break,restroom break) The definition changes for stationary versus travelling employees. Additional facts are needed to confirm your status at the time of the injury. The next inquiry involves your injuries and lost time. Our firm handles these claims and I suggest that you contact us to further explore and protect your rights to medical care and wage loss recovery.
