Workers' Compensation: Pennsylvania Attorneys
An injury on the job may be cause for a workers' compensation claim. Pennsylvania workers' compensation laws provide for coverage of employees who are injured in the course of employment on or off employers' premises. Sometimes, there are third-party liability claims to be pursued in a separate legal action, such as when the injury involved a defective product.
The law offices of Quinn, Buseck, Leemhuis, Toohey & Kroto, Inc. in Erie, Pennsylvania, have an 80-year history representing Northwest Pennsylvanians who have been hurt at the workplace through both workers' comp and personal injury legal services.
