Pa workers comp question?
Hello ya’ll. I was hurt on the job. I was trying to be a tough guy and fight through it.On my own, I went to the doctor twice to see if it will get better. My back got worse and worse. So i finally, told my boss three weeks later. He said i can’t go to workers comp because i didnt tell him right away. I just found out he lied to me and a lawyer said she can help me. What are the procedures of workers comp? Is it a settlement by insurance company if i’m still in pain and they say i should be ok, do i have any rights?

Hello there. Your boss is lying to you my friend. He just doesn’t want you out on workers’ comp. You have 90 days to report a claim and even if you miss that amount of time, no one will prevent you from going on comp. The procedures for your case should be as follows:
Contact a workers’ comp attorney. Explain to him/her the situation. After this, you’re attorney will probably get you out on workers’ comp. When you are finished treating (it may take quite some time if you have a back injury), you should file a claim petition. Then your company’s attorney and your attorney will negotiate and a settlement will transpire.
As the injured worker (especially in PA), YOU HAVE ALL THE RIGHTS! Don’t let your employer push you around. Take care and good luck!
