Wilkes-Barre, PA – Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys is now offering dedicated legal assistance to healthcare workers in Wilkes-Barre who have had their workers’ compensation claims denied. With healthcare roles ranking among the most hazardous in the private sector, the law firm is addressing the growing number of local hospital and clinic employees struggling to secure rightful benefits after workplace injuries.
Munley Law, a personal injury firm, has begun emphasizing its support for healthcare employees, including nurses, aides, and medical technicians, who face challenges following work-related injuries or illnesses. This initiative responds to a consistent trend of initial claim rejections by employers or insurance providers. These denials often cite technicalities such as missed reporting deadlines, pre-existing conditions, or disputed injury circumstances, leaving injured workers uncertain about their next steps.
Healthcare settings are known for their high injury rates, nearly double the private sector average, according to OSHA. Common causes include patient-handling injuries, slip and falls, exposure to disease, and repetitive strain from long shifts. Even though Pennsylvania law mandates workers’ compensation coverage, navigating the process alone can lead to delays or outright denials, especially when dealing with insurance companies looking to minimize payouts.
With over 65 years of experience handling workers’ comp claims in Pennsylvania, Munley Law offers claimants assistance with the appeals process, representation at hearings, and guidance on third-party claims in cases involving defective equipment or external parties. The firm’s services are available on a contingency basis, meaning clients only pay if benefits are recovered.
“Healthcare workers are often the first to care for others and the last to seek help for themselves,” said a spokesperson for Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys. “When they’re injured on the job and their compensation is denied, it can add unnecessary stress to an already difficult situation. Our goal is to help them access the benefits they’ve earned under the Pennsylvania law.”
The firm encourages any Wilkes-Barre-based healthcare professional who has been injured at work and faced challenges with their workers' compensation claim to contact them promptly. Whether the issue involves a delay in payments, a formal denial, or complications with a medical examination request, Munley Law’s attorneys can provide guidance on available options, including possible penalty petitions for late or unfair claim handling.
To inquire about claim assistance, healthcare workers in Wilkes-Barre can reach out directly via phone or online. The initial consultation is complimentary, and a workers’ compensation attorney will review the case and recommend the next steps.
