When does worker’s compensation coverage begin?

If an employee’s work causes injury, illness, or disease, the employee is entitled to worker’s compensation benefits.  Worker’s compensation coverage begins on the date of hire.  Worker’s compensation medical benefits also begin on the date of hire.  Wage loss benefits begin after a seven (7) day waiting period from the date of injury.  That is, wage loss benefits are payable on the eighth day following the date of injury.  However, once the employee is out of work for fourteen (14) days, the employee will receive retroactive pay for the seven (7) day waiting period.

What must the worker do after an injury, illness, or disease?

The worker must report the injury, illness, or disease incurred in the course of his employment as soon as possible.  If the employer denies the claim, the worker must file a claim petition.  The benefits sought through a claim petition may include lost wages, medical care, specific loss benefits ( such as hearing loss or the loss of a finger or toe, etc.), and death benefits.  Contact our Drexel Hill workers compensation lawyer for a free consultation today.

Must the worker go to a company doctor?

Yes.  If your company accepted your claim, and, if your company posted in the work place a list of six (6) health care providers, you are required to select from that list a provider for your initial treatment through the first ninety (90) days.  You may use another health care provider during that initial ninety (90) day period, but the worker’s compensation carrier may not pay that provider’s bill.

Personal Injury Lawyer In Drexel Hill, PA

What is the value of my claim? As an experienced Drexel Hill personal injury attorney, I am often asked “What is my case worth”?  There is no exact formula for valuing a personal injury claim.  There are, however, many factors to be considered when attempting to predict the settlement value or jury’s value that will be placed on a claim.

A main factor is the nature if the injury.  Very simply, a fractured bone that requires an operation will be valued higher than neck and back pain that requires only physical therapy.  Similarly, a gash that leaves a permanent scar on a female plaintiff will be valued higher than a burn that leaves a permanent scar on a male.

Another factor is the type and length of the medical treatment received.  For instance, a fall down resulting in a concussion with a subdural hematoma and 3 or 4 days of in-patient hospital care will be valued higher than a fall down resulting in a concussion out-patient observation.  Contact our Drexel Hill personal injury attorney today to discuss your accident case.

The dollar value of the medical treatment and the dollar value of lost wages suffered as a result of a slip and fall or dog bite injury are also factors to be considered when valuing a claim.

The point is that every personal injury case is unique and should be valued separately.  Michael T.

Drexel Hill Motorcycle Attorney – Pennsylvania’s Motorcycle Helmet Law

With both motorcycle registrations and licenses on the increase in PA, a refresher on PA’s Motorcycle  Helmet Law is in order.  If you involved in a motorcycle accident, contact Michael T. Malarick, an experienced motorcycle accident attorney.

First, PA law states that “…no person shall operate or ride upon a motorcycle … unless he is wearing protective headgear”.  75 Pa. C.S. 3525.  However, there are exceptions to the PA Motorcycle Helmet Law.  These exceptions from the helmet law include:

1. A person 21 years old who has had a motorcycle license for 2 full years;
2. A person 21 years old who has completed an approved motorcycle rider safety course; and
3. A 21 year old passenger if the motorcycle operator is excepted from the helmet law.

Second, the PA Helmet Law also states that “No person shall operate or ride upon a motorcycle… unless he is wearing an approved eye-protection device”.

Finally, if a person only has a motorcycle learner’s permit, a helmet must be worn regardless of their age.

The helmet or eye-protection must be U.S. Department of Transportation approved.  The approved helmet or eye-protection will have a DOT sticker identifying the make, model, size, and the month and year it was manufactured.

A Change to Pennsylvania’s Divorce Law

As of December 3, 2016, Pennsylvania’s Divorce law has changed.  Pennsylvania’s two (2) year waiting period for divorce based upon the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage has been reduced to one (1) year.  This change in the waiting period applies to divorce actions filed after December 3, 2016.  That is, if you filed for divorce on December 1, 2016, and alleged the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, you must wait the full two (2) years before obtaining a divorce decree.  However, if you filed on December 4, 2016, and alleged irretrievable breakdown, you will only have to wait one (1) year.

Pennsylvania’s other ‘no-fault’ ground for divorce – mutual consent –  remains unchanged.  That is, if both spouses agree to the divorce, the waiting period remains 90 days.  Contact our Drexel Hill divorce lawyer if you are in need of a divorce or if you have any questions about the PA divorce process.  Call today for a free consultation.
