Philadelphia Union Employees' Lawyers
Compensation for Injured Union Employees
When it comes to on-the-job injury cases, union workers may have certain protections that a nonunion worker may not have. For this reason, the first step in a workers' compensation case involving a union employee is to take a close look at the union contract or collective bargaining agreement with the help of an experienced attorney. These agreements frequently govern how you report work injuries, obtain and pay for medical treatment and file for wage loss benefits and other workers' compensation benefits.
Injured union workers have a right to choose their own lawyer — whether a union lawyer or private attorney.
At the law firm of Krasno, Krasno & Onwudinjo, we understand the politics involved in union membership and union representation, as well as the complex legal and medical issues involved in employee injury claims. We will work with the union and with the union's injured worker to help pursue the maximum amount of compensation for the injured union worker.
