Scar Injury? Know Your Rights to Pennsylvania Work Comp Payments

Do you have a scar or burn injury from an accident at work? You can receive additional work comp money for these injuries.

"An injury that results in a visible scar can be traumatic. While we can't take away the physical scar, we can help you get the payment you deserve for that injury." Attorney Dennis Liotta

Our attorneys can file a Pennsylvania work comp claims petition for you to collect a payment for a scar or burn that is:

• Located on your head, face, or neck.
• The result of an accident at work.
• The result of surgery necessary to treat your injury from an accident at work.

Money won't make your scar or burn go away – but it will help to cover your lost wages, expensive medical bills, and other important recovery costs.

If you didn't know about this benefit when you first filed for Pennsylvania work comp, don't worry. You have three (3) years from the date of your injury to file a petition to receive a workers comp scar injury payment. In addition, you didn't have to miss a single day of work in order to be eligible to receive a payment for your scar or burn injury.

What is the work comp payment for a scar or burn?

As a general rule of thumb, you can collect several weeks of Pennsylvania work comp payments for every one inch of scar. Your scar payment can not exceed a maximum payment equal to 275 weeks.
