Welcome

Our jobs are our livelihood. They provide us an income, health insurance, retirement security and the satisfaction that only steady, rewarding work can provide.

Nearly 6 million Pennsylvanians are in permanent employment, providing the income to support their families. Unfortunately, in too many cases that support is jeopardized by an on-the-job injury or illness that makes it impossible to work. In 2006, more than 110,000 PA workers reported injuries and illnesses that forced them to lose work time—and that number is on the rise.

Fractures, muscle strains, repetitive-motion injuries, and exposure to toxic chemicals are among the more common work injury claims. The most-affected industries are construction, manufacturing, transportation, and health services, which combined represented more than 60 percent of Pennsylvania’s work-related injury claims. However, work-related injuries and illnesses can affect employees in all workplaces, including office, retail and financial services workers. Workers’ compensation laws provide a backstop to wages and salaries when employees are hurt on the job, whether there injury is a temporary disability or a permanent disability. To find out what your rights are and seek compensation, contact our PA workers’ compensation lawyers online or call Munley, Munley & Cartwright at 1-800-318-LAW1.

Workers’ compensation allows injured workers to claim for medical costs and lost wages that result from their injuries. In the case of a work-related death, Pennsylvania’s workers’ compensation laws provide for compensation to dependents. The laws protect both workers and employers, providing compensation to the injured worker and protecting the employer from direct lawsuits. Injured or sickened workers can also seek additional damages from the makers of faulty equipment or dangerous products.
