Act 534 Claims

If you are an employee of a Pennsylvania correctional institution or a mental health institution and have been injured in the course of your employment, you are entitled to receive your salary until you can return to work for your employer at a salary equal to the salary earned at the time of the injury. Act 534 benefits are separate from benefits under the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act. Under the act, you are entitled to benefits as long as the work-related “disability” prevents you from returning to the Department’s employment at your pre-injury salary. Section 1 does not require the actual availability of a position with a Department to be eligible for benefits.

At Brennan Law Offices, we want to help fight for the compensation you deserve under Act 534. Please reach out to us to learn more about your rights under the Act.

Animal Law

Tim Brennan, our founding partner, is one of the few attorneys in Pennsylvania with extensive experience and expertise in animal law and equine law and has taught lawyers and law students in Pennsylvania about these practices.

At Brennan law offices we handle cases with serious injuries to animals and people.

Workers Compensation

Have you been injured while at work or in the workplace? Or, are you out of work due to a work-related injury? If you answered yes to either of these questions, our firm will help you with your worker’s compensation claim. Brennan Law Offices provides financial relief and support to people injured at work. Our firm is in your corner and will fight for working families.

Workers Compensation Laws in Pennsylvania
Filing a claim for workers’ compensation can be frustrating and overwhelming, and the system often seems stacked against an injured claimant when someone with knowledge of Workers Compensation laws on your side will ease the frustration of filing a lawsuit and getting what you deserve. We provide each client with high-quality legal services so a settlement or recovery is possible.

Worker Compensation Act
The Pennsylvania Worker Compensation Act provides that all employers, including non-profit organizations, must issue workers’ compensation insurance for all employees. Including full-time employees, part-time employees, and seasonal employees (but not contractors). Time is of the essence and plays a big part in filing a claim, so you must act immediately. Illnesses from exposure to certain materials such as asbestos or benzenes are covered under the Workers Compensation Act. These exposures can lead to a lifetime disability and work-loss benefits and medical benefits may be covered. We fight for both the rights of the worker and their families so they can help get their lives back in order. We at Brennan Law Offices can give you that relief and the compensation you deserve.

No fee unless we get compensation for you.
Most worker’s compensation cases are handled on a contingency basis. We only get paid if you get a positive result. Whether by winning your case, preventing the insurance company from stopping or altering your benefits in your favor.

We support union workers with a union discount
Our team at Brennan Law Office come from Union families and has fought hard for union workers. We show that commitment by providing a union discount below the general statutory fee in solidarity with our friends in organized labor.

Brennan Law Offices is always happy to meet with clients and help them get the best resolution possible to their problems.
If we can’t best serve your needs, we will help you find someone who can. Tim has developed an extensive network of trusted and experienced lawyers he may refer clients to if their cases require further specialization.

Workers Compensation in Pennsylvania

If you get injured on the job or as a result of your job activities:

Seek emergency medical attention if needed.

IMMEDIATELY REPORT YOUR INJURY

TO YOUR EMPLOYER OR SUPERVISOR.

Save copies of all correspondence regarding your injury.

Your benefits include all reasonable and necessary medical treatment, benefits for lost wages and benefits for specific injuries resulting in permanent disabilities such as loss of use and/or disfigurement (scars).

You will generally receive two-thirds of your average wage up to a fixed ceiling.

These payments are tax-free, however there may be some offsets.

You are eligible wage-loss replacement benefits as soon as you have lost seven days of work because of an injury or illness.

For the first 90 days you are required to treat with a “panel” physician.

You are free to choose your own doctor if your employer does not have a list of “panel” physicians. You are also free to select another doctor on the list if the first choice was unsatisfactory.

Your employer’s insurance company will make the initial decision on whether your injury is covered under the Pennsylvania Worker’s Compensation Act.

If your claim is denied, you are entitled to file a Claim Petition that will be assigned to a Judge who will conduct a hearing to make a determination regarding your eligibility to receive workers compensation benefits.
