Forbes Bender & Paolino P.C.

If you are injured at work you have certain rights under workers’ compensation law. The Pennsylvania workers’ compensation attorneys of Forbes, Bender, Paolino & DiSanti are here to protect the rights of individuals who are hurt at work. On the other side, employers and their insurance companies have the right to protect themselves for unfair or overstated claims, and we are FBPD are here to help them too.

Work injuries are different from other types of injuries in that the government has set up a plan to control how those injuries are handled. As a result, an attorney who only handles personal injury cases is not in a position to help either employers or employees through the workers’ compensation system. Our attorneys handle various types of personal injury cases, but we also have extensive experience handling the unique area of work site injuries as well.

If you are the injured employee, you have certain obligations to report your injury and appropriately communicate with your employer. If you are the employer, you must follow all workers’ compensation related laws to properly protect your employees; failure to do so can result in serious penalties.

If you are injured at work, or are a business or insurance company that needs to retain counsel to assist with a workers’ compensation claim, don’t hesitate to contact us.
