Our Lawyers Can Help You Claim Specific Loss Benefits
In Pennsylvania, workers who sustain a permanent “loss of use” injury may be eligible for substantial financial compensation even if the injury does not cause them to miss any significant amount of time from work, and even if the loss of the body part is not complete.
What Are Specific Loss Benefits, And Who Is Eligible?
Known as “specific loss benefits,” these benefits are available for scarring on the face, head, and neck, amputation injuries, hearing loss, vision loss, and certain types of burn injuries. They are paid to the injured worker over a specific number of weeks of benefits, separate, and apart from the worker’s ordinary wage loss benefits.
Disfigurement under the law means a scar that is permanent, and unsightly. These scars can occur from injuries to the face, but can also occur after neck surgery. Even if the insurance company pays for your neck surgery, it will likely not tell you that you may be entitled to compensation because of the surgical scar.
A Qualified Lawyer Can Help You Get The Benefits You Deserve
If you, or a loved one has suffered from one of these injuries, it is important to have an experienced attorney representing you to pursue the full benefits you are entitled to under the law. Because certain types of disfigurements can be treated very differently from one courtroom to the next, it is important to have an attorney who is familiar with the various workers’ compensation courts of southeastern Pennsylvania.
