Dealing With The Pennsylvania Bureau of Workers' Compensation

Bethlehem PA Attorney Cuts Through The Confusion

If you cannot work due to a workplace injury or illness in Pennsylvania, you will likely need to deal with the state Bureau of Workers' Compensation in order to receive workers' compensation benefits.

If you have never dealt with this state agency before, the entire process and how the system works can be overwhelming. And if you make a mistake, you and your family could miss out on important benefits you're legally entitled to receive under the law.

We know how the system works at Vellner Law, PC. That's because attorney Vellner and his talented legal team have extensive experience helping injured workers deal with the Pennsylvania Bureau of Workers' Compensation. Attorney Tony Vellner has been practicing this area of law since 1991. There's no substitute for success, no substitute for experience.

    How The System Works

    Initially, you might not have to deal directly with the state Bureau of Workers' Compensation. After you report your work-related injury to your employer, it is your employer's responsibility to notify the Bureau of Workers' Compensation about your injury.

    However, if your employer or your employer's insurance company question your workplace injury and claim you are not eligible for workers' compensation, or if your claim is denied, you will then likely need to deal directly with the state Bureau of Workers' Compensation.

    Specifically, you will likely need to appear before a Workers' Compensation Judge in Allentown or Easton, the two locations that handle workers' compensation claims in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley.
