Workers' Compensation

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Workers' Compensation Attorneys

Filing a workers' compensation claim for a workplace injury can be a complicated and frustrating process. At Brett Tessler & Associates, PC, in Philadelphia, we work closely with clients as we vigorously pursue their worker's compensation benefit claims.

If you have been injured at work, we urge you to contact a skilled Pennsylvania workers' compensation attorney as soon as possible after your injury. Obtaining qualified legal counsel early in the process can help ensure your work comp claim is handled appropriately. Depending on the extent of your injuries, you may also be eligible to receive short-term disability and long-term disability insurance benefits. We may also be able to help you select your own doctor, rather than choosing a doctor from your company's list.

Helping Injured Workers with a Wide Range of Work Injuries

Our clients work in a variety of occupations. We represent factory workers, union members, skilled laborers, trades people, secretaries, clerical and office workers, warehouse employees, certified nursing assistants (CNAs), home health aides, construction workers, professionals and other individuals who are injured on the job. Whether you were injured in a work-related car accident, as a result of exposure to toxic chemicals, or injured your back or neck as a result of heavy lifting, our lawyers will fight for the work comp benefits you have a right to receive.

Working to Prove that Your Injury and Disability are Work Related

An injury at work can happen suddenly, such as a blow to the head, a fall from a ladder or a construction site accident. Usually there is little question that these types of injuries are covered by workers' compensation. Other work injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome and certain back injuries can gradually become worse over time when the wrist, back or another body part is repeatedly stressed by lifting, hammering, keyboarding, or overuse. Repetitive stress injuries, are compensable under Pennsylvania workers' compensation laws when they are caused by work activities and result in the need for medical treatment or cause disability.

Unfortunately, work comp insurance companies frequently deny valid work injuries and claims by trying to blame an injury and disability on non-work related activities or a pre-existing health condition. The work comp attorneys at Brett Tessler & Associates know how to investigate your claim, negotiate with the work comp insurance company, and present a strong case at a work comp hearing. We are committed to protecting your rights as a hard-working employee who was injured on the job. We can also provide valuable advice about whether you are also entitled to short-term disability benefits under your disability insurance policy.

Comprehensive Representation Throughout the Work Comp Claim Process

The workers' compensation claims process is complicated. Our Philadelphia workers' compensation attorneys provide personal services to our clients throughout the course of their claim. From the first report of injury, to filing a claim petition, fighting a denial of benefits if necessary, and presenting your case at work comp hearings and appeals, our attorneys will stand up for your rights.
