Workers' Compensation – Attorneys in Chester County, Near King of Prussia
The workers' compensation attorneys at The Mayerson Law Offices P.C. believe that the dedicated, industrious workers of our country and especially our state are entitled to a safe workplace. While employers are responsible for establishing and maintaining a safe work environment, accidents can and still do occur. When someone is injured at the workplace, the employer is obligated to provide compensation for medical expenses and lost wages. While most Pennsylvania employers live up to their responsibilities, disputes over settlements invariably arise. And sometimes an unscrupulous employer will try to circumvent workers' compensation laws. If you have been injured at work, the workers' compensation attorneys from our Chester County law firm, serving King of Prussia and Spring City, can help you obtain a fair and just settlement with your employer.

Workers' Compensation and Third-Party Negligence
Why Does Workers' Compensation Exist?
Workers' compensation laws were established to make sure that employees who are injured on the job receive compensation for medical bills and other expenses related to their injury. These laws benefit both employees and employers — employees are ensured financial assistance and security while they recover, and employers can avoid costly, drawn-out litigation.
Employers in Pennsylvania are required to carry workers' compensation insurance that covers the current and future lost wages, as well as the medical bills, of an employee who was injured at work. Workers' compensation laws also act as a layer of protection for employers as employees are only allowed to recover a predetermined amount of money correlated to their injuries. Negligence, either on the part of the employer or the employee, becomes a moot point, as employees are simply able to recover monetary compensation for injuries experienced at work.

Why Would I Need Workers' Compensation Attorneys?
While the workers' compensation system is relatively autonomous, there are inevitably situations where the settlement amount is disputed, claims are denied, or an employer simply neglects to purchase workers' compensation insurance. In such cases, workers' compensation attorneys can be a great asset in your fight for compensation. The workers' compensation attorneys at our Spring City law firm, located in Chester County between King of Prussia and Pottstown, have extensive experience in negotiating a fair settlement in even the most difficult workers' compensation cases. Our lawyers will aggressively pursue just compensation for your lost wages and medical bills.

Workers' Compensation and Third-Party Negligence
In some instances, injuries suffered at the workplace are the result of a third party, or someone who is either not your employer or a co-worker. If this is the case, the workers' compensation attorneys from our firm can help workplace accident victims obtain additional damages.
Victims who have been injured by a third party, such as a manufacturer of defective workplace equipment, can file a personal injury claim to obtain additional compensation for the physical, emotional, and financial damages they've suffered. This compensation can cover, at least in part, what workers' compensation does not. Whereas workers' compensation typically does not compensate victims of workplace accidents for their pain and suffering, for disfigurement, or for lost wages beyond a predetermined amount, the damages obtained through a personal injury settlement with a third party can help to offset remaining expenses.
