The Philadelphia Workers’ Compensation Lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. Discuss New Workers’ Compensation Law
The Philadelphia workers’ compensation attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. are prepared to help individuals with their workers’ compensation claims. In their continuing efforts to keep the public informed on changes in the state’s workers’ compensation laws, they are prepared to discuss the newest program initiated by the state.
Until recently, the owners of sole proprietorships, partners in partnerships, and members of limited liability companies were unable to enroll in Pennsylvania’s workers’ compensation program. Therefore, these individuals were left without protection in the case of an occupational injury. Fortunately, a new Pennsylvania law extends this important form of employment insurance to those in this position.
Workers’ compensation benefits are a vital protection for the financial well-being of all employees. This new law ensures that more Pennsylvania workers than ever will be provided coverage under the state’s workers’ compensation program. However, it should be noted that enrollment in the workers’ compensation program isn’t mandatory. Instead, workers’ compensation coverage has simply been extended to those in an ownership or management position in sole proprietorships, partnerships, and limited liability companies.
The financial burden which may a worker may accrue following an occupational injury can be considerable. Workers’ compensation programs are intended to help to ease this burden by providing financial assistance to cover the costs of medical care and lost income. The Philadelphia workers’ compensation attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. are prepared to help all those who have been injured on the job to pursue the compensation they need and deserve.
