Construction Accidents and Workers’ Compensation

Answer:

In Pennsylvania, there’s what’s called the Workers’ Compensation Act, and that’s a law that’s set up to protect employers. That law covers employers injured in the course or scope of their job, even if the employee may have in some way been responsible for their injury. The idea behind workers’ compensation is that anyone injured while working, and is losing their wages due to medical treatment should make some recovery. Workers’ compensation benefits are available to replace a portion of the wages that you’re losing and also, very importantly, to provide you with health insurance or medical coverage so that you can get treatment for any of the injuries caused by this workplace accident.
