How does someone qualify for PA Workers’ Compensation in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania?

Employers are required to provide workers comp to all full and part time employees.  If a condition

of employment causes an injury, illness or disease, the employee may be entitled to Worker's Compensation.  There are certain religious exemptions that require a detailed explanation.  

If an injury, illness or disease is self inflicted then no compensation is due to the Montco individual.  Nor is compensation due if an employee violated the law such as illegal drug use or intoxication. No compensation is due for  injuries caused by attacks by another person of a personal nature. 

But, the devil is in the details and the boss may say one thing, but you know it is the other.  Thus, you need to get in touch with your Montgomery County Worker's Compensation Lawyer immediately to fight back.
