Legal Question in Workers Comp in Pennsylvania

This seems to be a retaliation for asserting your rights under the workers' comp statute. You may have a common law action under Shire and Schick Lumber or even a Title VII case. If you had discussions with other workers about the underlying unsafe working condition you may be protected under section 8 of the NLRA/LMRA. Yor lawyer will want to explore a lump sum resolution. If you are back to work with no residual disability the value of your case will be less than if you retain some physical limitation which necessitated your time off from work. In short, your lawyer will get you back those three days unless your were intoxicated at the time of the injury - in which case you shouldn't have received WC at all.

Good luck,
