Foot Injuries Commonly Fall Under The Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act
In Pennsylvania, Workers’ Compensation laws are in place to provide benefits to employees who suffer injuries while on the job, including those related to the feet. Employers and their insurance company lawyers often challenge the severity of foot injury cases or how long you should receive treatment for such injuries.
Your Lenahan & Dempsey Workers’ Compensation Lawyers will aggressively fight to protect your rights to help you get all the benefits you deserve and to help make sure you are not forced back to work before you are physically ready. We know the Workers’ Compensation System and have helped injured workers successfully navigate the system for over 75 years.
