When Workers Are Injured On the Job
Workplace injuries occur every day. Some of them are minor, requiring little recovery time. Other injuries, though, can be life-threatening or even fatal. Thankfully, there are laws that protect workers who have been injured on the job. If you have suffered a serious workplace injury, an experienced attorney can help ensure you receive all the benefits available under the law.
At Berger Law Firm, P.C., in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, we are dedicated to representing people injured in the workplace. We strive to recover the compensation our clients deserve, so they can focus on healing and moving forward with their lives.

Dedicated to Recovering Compensation
Generally, employers are required to carry workers' compensation insurance. This is considered "no fault" insurance, which means employees are compensated for their injuries regardless of whether or not the injuries were caused by negligence.
Workplace injury victims sometimes have difficulty securing workers' compensation benefits because their claims are disputed or denied by employers or insurers. Furthermore, even if victims do receive benefits, they might only get compensation for medical costs and lost wages, not for pain and suffering or other damages.
At Berger Law Firm, P.C., we will help you file and pursue your workers' compensation claim. We will also aggressively pursue other forms of applicable compensation, depending on your specific situation.
Defective Products Can Cause Workplace Injuries
Some workplace injuries are caused by third-party negligence. For example, when a workplace injury results from a defective product, such as an improperly assembled forklift or faulty scaffolding, there may be cause for a third-party claim against the manufacturer.
To learn if you have standing to bring a third-party claim in your workplace injury case, contact our office for a consultation.
