Denied Workers’ Compensation Claims
A denied workers’ compensation claim does not always mean the process is over. Claims may be denied because the insurance company says the injury did not happen at work, notice was not given properly, medical evidence is insufficient or the worker can return to the job.
Stark Law Group can review the denial, help gather evidence and explain what steps may be available to pursue benefits.
Workers’ Compensation Benefits
Workers’ compensation benefits may include medical treatment, wage loss benefits, partial disability benefits, total disability benefits or other benefits depending on the injury and work status.
If you are not receiving benefits, your checks stopped, treatment was denied or you were offered a settlement, it is important to understand your rights before making decisions.

Lancaster Workers’ Compensation Attorneys FAQs
What is considered a hostile work environment in Pennsylvania?
A hostile work environment may exist when an employee is subjected to severe or repeated harassment based on a protected characteristic or protected workplace activity. These claims are fact-specific and should be reviewed by an employment law attorney.
Is a bad boss the same as a hostile work environment?
Not always. A boss can be rude, unfair or difficult without creating an illegal hostile work environment. The conduct usually must be connected to a legally protected characteristic or protected activity and be serious enough to affect the workplace.
What should I do if HR ignores my harassment complaint?
If HR ignores your complaint or the harassment continues, keep records of your reports, the employer’s response and any additional incidents. An employment attorney can help you understand your options.
Can I be fired for reporting workplace harassment?
An employer generally cannot fire or punish an employee for reporting harassment or discrimination. If you were fired or disciplined after making a complaint, you may have a retaliation concern.
Should I quit if I am in a hostile work environment?
You should speak with an attorney before quitting if possible. Resigning may affect your legal options, and an attorney can help you understand the potential risks before you make that decision.
How long do I have to file a hostile work environment claim?
Deadlines can apply to employment discrimination and harassment claims. The timeline may depend on whether the claim is being handled under Pennsylvania law, federal law or both. Because deadlines can be short, it is important to speak with an attorney promptly.
