Legal Question in Workers Comp in Pennsylvania
I was injured in a work accident and I am currently receiving physical therapy 3 days a week. I have to leave work three days a week early, am I entitled to partial workers comp monetary benefits?

If you cannot make arrangements to get your therapy after work (the employer is not obligated to allow it during work hours if you can), you may be entitled to a partial disability benefit equal to 2/3 of your lost income. I encourage you to see a workers' compensation lawyer in your area.
This answer to your legal inquiry is based upon the limited facts stated in your question. Accurate legal advice is based upon an exchange between a lawyer and a client. The lawyer can then ask about other facts that may change or confirm the answer. Without that exchange, this reply should be considered limited in value. You should rely on this answer only at your own risk. Direct consultation with a lawyer is always recommended. Answering your question does not create an attorney-client relationship.
