Workers compensation insurance is an important protection that workers throughout the United States have. Basically, if you experience a work-related injury or illness, this insurance covers you for medical expenses and lost wages until you are well enough to get back to work. In the state of Pennsylvania, employers are required to provide this coverage to all of their employees even if they are part-time or seasonal. After becoming ill or sustaining an injury related to your employment, you must report it to your employer immediately.

when injured on the job you should. First, report the injury to your supervisor immediately. secondly, request to been seen by a doctor. And thirdly, request and complete a workers' compensation claim form. But until you report your injury claim and turn in the forms to you employer, they are not obligated to provide you with any type of benefits.

One unique workers comp issue lawyers deal with is when an employee needs to file or has already filed for workers compensation but the company then goes out of business. Under normal circumstances, the company would be involved in a lawsuit but if they no longer exist, the victim is left wondering if they still have the right to file a claim. If you find yourself in such a situation, get in touch with the attorneys at Vincent Cirscuolo & Associates in Rochester, NY. The attorneys have helped many injured workers get the compensation they so rightly deserve. Here are some important things to know about filing a workers compensation claim:

Denial of a workers' compensation claim can be a major disappointment and another obstacle on your road to health and healing. It's important to understand, however, that all workers' comp cases are carefully deliberated, and, if denied, are always given a reason.

The workplace should be a safe area where you can practice your trade. Employers should provide the appropriate training and safety measures to minimize risk of accident and injury. Sometimes, however, though negligence or accident, injuries occur. Workers’ compensation generally provides for the coverage of medical treatments and lost wages after such incidents. Occasionally, overzealous insurance companies deny claims and leave injured employees wondering where to turn for help.

Laws and regulatory requirements are currently in place to standardize and promote workplace safety. Organizations with extensive safety programs have reduced number of accidents, decreased workers’ compensation claims and lawsuits and lesser accident-related expenditures (Gomez-Mejia, et al, 2010, p. 511).

The four key issues that are discuss in this section that will shape the work of compensation and benefits professionals in the future are fallout from the “Great Depression”, rising wages in China, challenges in health care reform, and workforce demographic shifts (Martocchio.2013. p359). Of these four issues my top two are the fallout from the depression and challenges in health care reform. After researching the two, I have concluded that the issue and challenges in health care creates the greatest uncertainty for compensation professional. In 2010 The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) was signed into law. The purpose of the law is to decrease the number of uninsured people in America.
