Is an employee covered by PA Workers’ Compensation if they are injured while traveling to or from the work place?

Unfortunately, no, PA Workers’ Compensation does not cover such incidents.  However, if you are injured while traveling on company time or “on the clock” you would be entitled to benefits. 

How does an injured Montgomery County employee select a doctor to treat the injury?

You have probably seen a variation of this question on my Montgomery County Worker's Compensation lawyer site.  

If your claim is accepted by your employer and the employer has posted a list of at least six doctors in your place of employment, then you must visit one of the doctors listed and remain with that doctor or another one on the list for 90 days after your first visit.  If no list is posted, you may receive care from a doctor of your own choosing but you must notify your employer which doctor you are seeing. 

If you require surgery, you many seek a second medical opinion without any cost to you. However, the surgery must be performed by a listed provider if a list was provided. Your employer has the right to request your doctor to submit monthly reports on your condition. Additionally, when you are receiving benefits, your employer has a legal right to make you go to a physician of their choice for a medical examination.  You may go to any doctor of your choosing once the 90 days after the date of injury expires.  This includes not just the doctor treating you but also physical therapists, second opinion doctors and any needed specialists.
