Lancaster is an employment hotbed of South Central Pennsylvania. When workers are injured in and around Lancaster, it is important that they are provided all opportunities to heal and recover. Workers’ compensation benefits can assist, but they are frequently not enough.
If a third party or a manager or supervisor’s negligence causes a work-related injury, it may be possible to pursue a personal injury claim.

It can be confusing to understand how long a work injury victim has to file a claim. In general, we always recommend that work injury victims report their injury or illness as soon as they know about them. However, Pennsylvania guidelines offer somewhat contradictory deadlines for these claims. For example, this is pulled directly from a workers’ compensation flow chart provided by the Pennsylvania government: “An employee injury is to be reported to the employer within 21 days; if not reported within 120 days from the date of injury or having knowledge of a work-related disease, no compensation is allowed (except for cases involving progressive diseases).”
In short, we really recommend that you report your injury within 21 days of discovering the issue. However, even if you do not report your injury or illness immediately, that does not mean you will be unable to recover compensation. Let our attorneys in Lancaster help you sort through the deadlines for work injury claims.
