Experienced Worker's Compensation Law Firm in Williamsport, Pennsylvania
Workers' Compensation applies to all employees with certain limited exceptions. Generally speaking, independent contractors are not covered by Workers' Compensation, as they are not considered employees. That being said, the majority of injuries that occur in the course and scope of employment and are related to your work are covered injuries, making you eligible for payment of your lost wages and medical expenses. You might be covered regardless of any prior injuries. Some occupational diseases are also covered as well as aggravation of pulmonary difficulties which result from an employee's continued exposure in the workplace.
