Act Now!

Due to time restrictions with workers’ compensation claims, be aware of the following:

Report the Injury Immediately – Not reporting your injury within a certain period of time means your claim could be delayed or denied.  Your report should be in writing and include specifics concerning which areas of the body were involved.  Document everything and request copies of any report your employer asks you to complete.  Add an extra measure of protection and take a phone photo of each completed page of the report.

Request the Panel List – A panel list will include workers’ compensation medical providers – from primary-care physicians to neurosurgical professionals to physical therapists.  If you choose to visit a doctor who is not on the list, however, your company is not obligated to pay for treatments unless certain circumstances are present.  Georgelis Law will be happy to answer any questions you might have regarding this.

Seek Prompt Medical Treatment – The longer the time period between your injury and the initial treatment, the more difficult it will be to have your injury deemed ‘work-related’.  Documenting your injuries and symptoms is critical to support your right to ongoing benefits through the workers’ compensation system.

Nothing Escapes our Watchful Eye

You can be assured that our workers’ compensation lawyers will keep a watchful eye on your employer and its workers’ compensation attorneys.  We will fight, tooth and nail, to ensure our Lancaster County clients receive every dime and every benefit they deserve.

Our law firm will develop a comprehensive plan to recover your benefits and compensation from every viable source – the workers’ compensation system, liability insurance, and/or a third-party lawsuit against negligent parties.

Injuries happen every day and impact many different areas of the body: neck, low-back and other spine injuries, cumulative-type and repetitive-motion trauma, loss of hearing/sight/ body part (such as fingers or toes).  These injuries can be the result of slips, trips, and falls, as well as motor vehicle accidents that have happened in the course and scope of employment.

No matter what the case may be, Georgelis, Larsen & Sabatino Injury Law Firm, P.C. will ensure your rights are protected, every single step of the way.

Brace Yourself!

When you’re injured on the job, you should be aware of the following:

• The insurance company could stop paying you at any time if it fails to file a ‘Notice of Compensation Payable’.
• An inaccurate or incomplete description of your injuries, as reported by the insurance company, could limit your medical treatments.
• A ‘medical case-manager’ – aka: ‘rehab nurse’ – hired by the insurance company may 1) convince your doctor (behind your back) you can return to work, before you are ready 2) state that your work restrictions can be reduced, before they should be and 3) declare you are fully recovered, when you may not be.

At Georgelis, Larsen & Sabatino Injury Law Firm, P.C., we will not put up with these types of sneaky maneuverings.  We will not permit you to become exploited!  We will assess your claim, investigate where your situation stands with the employer and insurance company, and inform you of all your options.

In Summary

Do not fall prey to your employer or its insurance company who are not looking out for your best interests!  Behind the scenes, they are working out every possible detail that will result in delaying, diminishing, or denying your claim.  From the moment you make your claim, they are diligently working to ensure that you receive little or nothing regarding your workers’ compensation benefits – but rest easy, our law firm has your back!

Employers and insurance companies know full well that most claimants have no idea what Pennsylvania laws allow for workers’ compensation claims.  And even if you are receiving income-loss benefits and your medical bills are being paid, it doesn’t necessarily mean your claim is as it should be.

Nurse case managers, surveillance, private investigators, and ‘independent’ medical examinations represent an array of ways insurance companies can reduce, limit, or stop your workers’ compensation benefits that are rightfully yours.  When so many people are working against you, you need a powerhouse legal team who will work for you!

We know Lancaster County workers don’t easily or automatically have access to legal advice and guidance throughout the workers’ compensation process.  It is for this very reason you benefit from our lawyers at Georgelis, Larsen & Sabatino Injury Law Firm, P.C..  Also, you will never receive a bill for the time we dedicate to all the details of your case. We work on a contingency fee—meaning, we only get paid when we succeed in getting compensation for you.

Far too often, Lancaster County injured workers receive compensation, but wait to contact a lawyer until they are faced with a Modification, Suspension, or Termination Petition filed by their employer and insurance company.  When our workers’ compensation lawyers handle claimants’ cases as soon as an injury occurs, we make sure all parties are playing by the rules!  Our law firm will make sure your injury has been described properly with the bureau of Workers’ Compensation.  When the employer and carrier make their moves, our lawyers will be fully ready to present your claim in a position of strength!
