Dauphin County is home to Pennsylvania’s state capital and a wide mix of work, from government offices and hospitals in Harrisburg to warehouses and distribution centers along the I-81 and I-83 corridors, manufacturing in Steelton and Middletown, and the food and healthcare jobs around Hershey. Wherever you work, a serious injury can leave you facing medical bills and weeks or months away from a paycheck. Pennsylvania workers’ compensation is designed to cover exactly that.
We handle the full range of on-the-job injuries, from sudden accidents to conditions that build up over years of hard work.
Falls, equipment failures, and struck-by injuries on building sites and road crews across the county.
Carpal tunnel, back strain, and joint damage that develop from repeated motion and heavy lifting.
Illnesses caused by long-term exposure to chemicals, dust, fumes, or other hazards at work.
Thermal, chemical, and electrical burns in kitchens, plants, and on utility and construction crews.
Falls on wet floors, ice, or uneven surfaces that lead to fractures, head injuries, and back damage.
Crashes involving delivery drivers, trades workers, and anyone who drives as part of the job.
We help injured workers throughout the county, including Harrisburg, Lower Paxton Township, Steelton, the Hershey and Derry Township area, Susquehanna Township, Swatara Township, Middletown, and Hummelstown. If you do not see your community listed, call us, because we serve the entire county.
Your employer’s insurance must pay for the treatment and wage replacement you are owed after a work injury. Benefits include all reasonable and necessary medical care, wage loss benefits equal to about two-thirds of your average weekly wage, specific loss benefits for the permanent loss of a body part or for serious scarring, and death benefits for the families of workers killed on the job. You do not have to prove your employer did anything wrong, only that you were hurt while working.
Insurers deny and cut off valid claims every day. If your benefits were denied or stopped, you have the right to challenge that decision through a denial of benefits appeal and a workers’ comp hearing before a judge. We handle that process for you and stand with you at every step.
Pennsylvania sets firm deadlines, and missing one can end your right to benefits.
You can review the official program through the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, then call us for guidance on your own claim.
For more than three decades, Mike Lerner and Ben Steinberg have handled workers’ compensation cases for people across Pennsylvania, and they work on every claim personally. They know how insurers value injuries and how to push for the full medical care and wage loss benefits the law allows. We work on a contingency basis, so you owe no fee unless we win.
