Harrisburg Workers' Compensation Claim

Filing a Harrisburg Workers' Comp claim

The forms you file with the Bureau of Workers' Compensation must be in the format the Bureau requires.  The Bureau may return improperly filed forms with the reason for the file’s return.

The Law Offices of Katherine L. Niven & Associates, PC, is a firm of Harrisburg Workers' Comp claim attorneys that assist you with the required filing.  We also help you when the Bureau returns your forms.

Workers' Compensation law requires your employer to provide you with benefit information at the time they hire you and provide the details whenever an injury occurs at work.  If it is not possible to provide you the Harrisburg Workers' Compensation claim information immediately at the time of your injury, your employer should do so as soon as possible.

The law allows you to file a Harrisburg Workers' Comp claim under the following conditions:

• The injury occurred at work
• The injury resulted in death
• The injury resulted in disability that prevented you from working one day, one shift or turn, or longer

The law requires that employers or their insurance pay the benefits for employees.  These benefits are available to employees who cannot work or who need medical care because of a work-related injury or illness.

The information concerning who is responsible for paying a Harrisburg Workers' Comp claim should also be available at all your employment’s places of business, especially in first-aid areas.

The law requires that you immediately report your injury or work-related illness to your employer.  The Bureau may deny or delay your benefits if you fail to report your illness or injury in a timely manner.  When the Bureau denies your claim, you have the right to request a hearing before a Workers' Compensation judge.
