My benefits were terminated and I would like them reinstated. How do I do this?

If your employer’s insurer terminated your benefits, you may file a petition with the Office of Adjudication for a reinstatement hearing within three years after the date of your last workers’ compensation check. The judge overseeing your case will generally require mediation with all interested parties unless there is reason to believe that mediation efforts would be futile. Decisions of the Office of Adjudication can be appealed to the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board as well as the Commonwealth Court.

Do not attempt to navigate the reinstatement process alone. Speak with an experienced Philadelphia workers’ compensation attorney right away.
