If you are injured at work, you are entitled to workers compensation payments regardless of fault. Under Pennsylvania law, the employer must compensate you for lost wages and medical payments. If your employer or its insurance company fails to compensate you or refuses to pay your medical bills it is time to call a lawyer.
