Types of Workers' Compensation Benefits
In Pennsylvania, the law provides several types of workers' compensation (often called workman's comp) benefits for eligible employees. The most common are payments for lost wages and medical care. Wage-loss benefits are available if you become totally disabled or partially disabled, depending on your circumstances, your ability to work and the amount you are earning.
In addition to wage-loss benefits you may also be eligible for:
- Payment of medical care expenses including, medicine, supplies, hospital care and services given by a doctor.
- Specific loss benefits — If you have lost permanent use of all or a portion of your body.
- Death benefits — If you lost a loved one you depended on, you could be eligible for death benefits.
