G. Girton has the experience and knowledge to help you settle your disability claim.

Workers' compensation covers all injuries related to a worker's job, whether they are the
result of an accident such as slip and fall or a construction accident, or virtually any other
work-related cause. For instance, many people do not realize that repetitive stress injuries
such as carpal tunnel syndrome or arthritis of the knee are covered by workers’
compensation, as are occupational diseases resulting from the exposure to toxic chemicals
or other condition. Workers who suffer job-related hearing loss are also entitled to
compensation.
The PA Workers' Compensation Act was signed into law. The act imposes additional
requirements and prohibitions to the state's already complicated workers' compensation
system such as revisions to the reimbursement rates and fee schedule review process,
self-referral prohibitions, and alterations to the utilization review and peer review process.
Since these new tenets continue to affect physicians as both health care providers and
employers, they are briefly reviewed here for members' reference.

In Pennsylvania, if you are injured while at work,
you are entitled by law to have your
medical bills and up to 2/3 of your lost wages paid. In situations of long-term injury, you
can often obtain a settlement now for future wage loss.

Unfortunately, employers and insurance companies often do not cooperate with the injury
victim.

That's why if you, a loved one or a friend has been injured, you should contact the Law
Offices of  Arthur G Girton. He will help you understand your rights and do everything he
can to get the best possible results.
