Did you receive a Termination of Benefits letter from PA Workers Compensation? Are you wondering if you still have a chance to get the benefits you deserve? We fight for workers whose WC benefits have been terminated. What you may not know is that, upon a petition by the Workers’ Compensation insurance Company, your benefits can be terminated by a Workers’ Compensation Judge (WCJ).

When this happens, in most cases, the Workers’ Compensation insurance company pays for a doctor (IME) whom they choose to loosely examine you. That doctor then authors a report finding you, an injured worker, completely healed from the work injury. When the insurance company receives that IME report, they file a petition to stop your benefits.

In most cases, the IME report notes your complaints of pain but do not take your pain into account. To combat their termination petition, our experienced Workmans Compensation lawyers can have you and your own doctor testify to your symptoms and explain why your work injury is still causing you pain. The WCJ then decides the case based upon your testimony and the testimony of the dueling doctors.

 Our Commonwealth Court held in Hernandez v. WCAB (F&P Holding Co.), No. 1820 C.D. 2017 (Pa.Cmwlth. July 19, 2018) that even if the WCJ believes the injured worker is still experiencing symptoms from the work injury, the WCJ can still terminate the injured worker’s benefits.

 You have rights, and you should consult an experienced Workers’ Compensation lawyer to learn more.
