Basic Rights Under the Workers' Compensation Act:In many instances it will be up to you, the injured worker, with the help of your lawyer, to secure and advance your rights when you have suffered a work injury in Pennsylvania. But injured workers have certain basic rights under the Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Act, which apply to all injured workers:You have the right to seek a second opinion - even within the first ninety days of medcial treatment. You have the right to file a petition to get medical treatment approved. You have the right to file a petition to correct or expand the description of your injury. You have the right to file a petition to protest the denial of medical billing or treatment due to a Utilization Review. You may refuse "independent" examinations if scheduled unreasonably by the employer. You have the right to treat with doctors or providers entirely of your own choosing, subject to certain limitations or risks. Call me and we will talk about these rights and other rights or entitlements specific to your case. Tim Kennedy, 610-316-7153 or 215 559 5003.
