Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Law: The Basics is a resource for lawyers, employers, injured workers, medical providers, insurance carriers and others who only handle a few workers' compensation cases, or who need an answer to what they believe is a "simple" question. Generally, the questions arise because employers, workers and lawyers do not understand the often unique, and sometimes less than intuitive language of Pennsylvania workers' compensation law. This book outlines the basics in an easy-to-use format, provides practical tips for lawyers about handling these cases, and contains the full text of the Workers' Compensation Act and the applicable regulations.
