In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, employees must report a workplace injury within 21 days of the injury. If employees surpass the 21-day limit for reporting the injury, they are eligible for wage loss benefits on the date they reported the injury, not the date the injury occurred. If employees wait over 120 days to report the injury, employees are barred from receiving benefits. Some workers feel uncomfortable reporting their injuries, and they can ask us how to report the injury properly. When this fear has caused the worker to avoid reporting their injury, we will help show that the employer caused the delay.nnIn Pennsylvania, there is a time limit of three years for these claims. While a worker may not receive the full benefits they would have been entitled to within 21 days of the injury, we can help a worker gain coverage. The only injuries that will be eligible for compensation after three years are occupational diseases that may not present themselves until many years after the worker is exposed to toxic chemicals or substances.
