A serious work injury can put your health and your paycheck at risk at the same time. If you were hurt on the job in Harrisburg, we help you claim the medical care and wage loss benefits Pennsylvania law provides.
For more than 34 years, Lerner, Steinberg & Associates has fought for injured workers across Pennsylvania, and you work directly with Mike Lerner or Ben Steinberg on every case, never a paralegal. Harrisburg is the seat of our Dauphin County workers’ compensation practice and one of the many areas we serve across the midstate. There is no fee unless we win.
As Pennsylvania’s state capital and the seat of Dauphin County, Harrisburg has a workforce as varied as the region itself. State employees fill the Capitol Complex and agency offices downtown, nurses and technicians staff the hospitals and medical centers that serve the midstate, and warehouse and distribution crews keep freight moving near the I-81/I-83 interchange. From Midtown to Allison Hill to the neighborhoods along the Susquehanna, a single work injury can put your paycheck and your health at risk at the same time, and Pennsylvania workers’ compensation is meant to cover your treatment and part of your wages while you heal.
We handle every kind of work injury for Harrisburg workers, including the following.
Falls, lifting injuries, and repetitive strain among agency staff, corrections officers, and public-works crews in and around the Capitol Complex.
Back and shoulder injuries from moving patients, needlestick exposure, and repetitive strain among nurses, aides, and technicians at Harrisburg’s hospitals and medical centers.
Lifting strain, forklift accidents, and falls at distribution sites near the I-81/I-83 interchange.
Falls, equipment failures, and struck-by injuries on building sites and road crews across the city.
Carpal tunnel and joint damage that build up from repeated motion on the job or at a desk.
Falls on wet floors, ice, and uneven surfaces that cause fractures, head injuries, and back damage.
Your employer’s insurance must pay for the care and wage replacement you are owed after a work injury, whether you clock in at a state office, a hospital floor, or a warehouse dock. Benefits include all reasonable and necessary medical treatment and wage loss benefits equal to about two-thirds of your average weekly wage, calculated on your actual pay including shift differentials and regular overtime for hourly healthcare and state workers. Specific loss benefits apply to the permanent loss or loss of use of a body part, and families of workers killed on the job are entitled to death benefits. You only have to show that you were hurt while working.
Insurers deny and cut off valid claims all the time, and office and hospital-setting injuries are often disputed when an insurer argues a light-duty desk or administrative role was available. If your benefits were denied or stopped, you can challenge that decision through a denial of benefits appeal and a workers’ comp hearing before a judge. We build the medical and wage evidence and stand with you through the whole process, including cases where an insurer’s independent medical exam contradicts your own doctor. We also handle repetitive stress injury and occupational disease claims that insurers often fight hardest.
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 state employees, healthcare workers, and tradespeople throughout Harrisburg, and they work on every claim personally. In one recent case, we recovered $235,000 for a healthcare worker injured on the job, and we bring that same preparation to every claim involving hospital and state office employees. They know how insurers value injuries and how to push for the full medical care and wage loss benefits the law allows, and we work on a contingency basis, so you owe no fee unless we win.
If you were hurt on the job in Harrisburg, we are ready to review your claim and tell you honestly where you stand. Contact Lerner, Steinberg & Associates today for a free consultation.
