Expert guidance on work-related traumatic brain injuries, workers' compensation claims, and your legal rights in Pennsylvania.
Your Average Weekly Wage sets the dollar value of every check you receive. Insurers routinely lowball it by ignoring overtime, bonuses, and concurrent jobs. Here's how AWW really works in Pennsylvania.
After 104 weeks of total disability benefits, the insurer can request an IRE to try to cap your benefits at 500 weeks. Understanding how IREs work — and how to challenge them — protects your long-term recovery.
Pennsylvania pays separate 'specific loss' benefits for the permanent loss of a body part, sight, hearing — and for disfigurement. Brain injuries can trigger specific loss for vision, hearing, and more. Here's what qualifies.
Insurers often push brain-injured workers back to 'light duty' to cut off wage-loss benefits. Whether you must accept a modified-duty offer — and what happens if you can't do the job — depends on the details. Here's what PA law says.
When an insurer claims your brain-injury treatment is 'not reasonable or necessary,' it files for Utilization Review. Knowing how UR works lets you fight to keep the care your recovery depends on.
For the first 90 days, your employer may require treatment with a posted panel doctor — but only if the panel is valid and you got proper notice. If either fails, you can choose your own doctor from day one.
