When employees suffer workplace injuries, they are often eligible to receive workers’ compensation benefits. However, they must report the injury and make a filing within certain time periods.
After the injury occurs, employees have 120 to let their employer know about the injury, and they have 3 years to file a claim petition for workers’ compensation benefits. Not meeting these requirements could jeopardize employees’ chances of receiving workers’ compensation benefits.
If you have questions about when to file a workers’ compensation claim, contact the Philadelphia workers’ compensation attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., at 215-238-1130.
