How Should I Document My Damages?

After you have seen a doctor for the treatment of your injuries, the medical documentation you receive forms the basis of your disability claim, but in truth, the more completely you can document your injuries and the damages you have suffered, the better.

If possible take photos of the following:

• Your injuries
• The spot where the accident occurred
• Any machinery that was involved

Additionally, keep copies of your correspondence with your insurer and employer and any and all receipts for out-of-pocket expenses. The more complete the record you can assemble, the more successful your claim is likely to be. When you bring this material to a qualified Lancaster attorney, you can find out exactly where you stand and what options are open to you.

What If I Was Permanently Injured or Disabled as a Result of a Work Injury?

For cases where a work-related injury results in permanent impairment, and a person can no longer work, you may be eligible to file a disability claim through Social Security. There are guidelines as to what qualifies as a permanent disability, and even a list of impairments kept by the Social Security Administration. Social Security disability claims can be complex and we advise you to consult with an attorney at our firm before you make a mistake that gets your claim denied. As with workers’ compensation, if your disability claim is denied, don’t give up. We can help you file an appeal with the Social Security office to get the benefits you deserve.

Why Speak with Our Pennsylvania Workers’ Comp Law Firm?

Workers’ compensation laws were written in Pennsylvania to help people just like you.

If you have been injured or disabled at work, the payments to which you are entitled were created to defray medical costs and to address living expenses while you recover. You have a right to claim your benefits and the lawyers at Handler Henning & Rosenberg LLC can not only help you with that process but can also ensure you get the full measure of benefits for which you qualify.

Don’t Delay Filing Your Workers’ Comp Claim!

When details are overlooked in a claim for workers’ compensation, the complications that result cause lengthy delays, which is incredibly frustrating as you’re watching your medical expenses grow. There are also tactics employers may use to further delay the process, such as asking that you be examined by an independent medical professional or seek vocational counseling. Sometimes injured workers find they are being observed under suspicion of fraud or that legitimate claims are questioned as “disabling.”

Our Lancaster workers compensation attorneys have faced these scenarios before, and we understand that waiting for benefits can be excruciating. We are more than prepared to do everything we can to shorten your compensation claims process and to secure your full benefits. Contact Handler Henning & Rosenberg today for a free consultation about your case.
