Experienced Personal Injury Attorneys Serving Larksville, PA
Larksville residents work in a mix of light industrial, commercial, and service jobs throughout the Wyoming Valley. Whether you operate heavy machinery at a local facility, drive a delivery route, or work a physically demanding retail job, you face the risk of on-the-job injuries every shift. When an injury happens and your employer's insurance company pushes back on your claim, you need an attorney who knows how to win workers comp cases in Luzerne County.
Our Larksville personal injury lawyers take a thorough approach. We document your injury with independent medical evidence, challenge the insurer's attempts to deny or reduce your benefits, and investigate whether any third party shares liability for what happened. Many of our clients discover they have claims they did not know existed — against equipment manufacturers, property owners, or subcontractors — that provide compensation well beyond what workers comp alone offers.

Fighting Workers Comp Benefit Terminations in Larksville
Insurance companies regularly try to terminate workers comp benefits by sending injured workers to their own hand-picked doctors for independent medical examinations. These IME doctors frequently conclude that the worker has recovered and can return to full duty, even when the worker's own physician disagrees. The insurer then uses the IME report to stop paying benefits.
Our attorneys challenge these tactics head-on. We prepare our clients for IME appointments, obtain detailed reports from treating physicians, and present compelling evidence at hearings to keep benefits flowing. If your benefits have been wrongfully terminated, we file reinstatement petitions and fight to restore what you are owed.
"The insurance company cut off my workers comp benefits after their doctor said I could go back to work. I could barely walk. PA Attorney Source filed a reinstatement petition and brought my orthopedic surgeon to testify. The judge reinstated my full benefits and I was able to get the knee replacement surgery I needed."

Pennsylvania Injury Laws That Affect Your Larksville Case
Two-Year Statute of Limitations
Pennsylvania law requires personal injury lawsuits to be filed within two years of the injury date. Missing this deadline bars your claim permanently.
Modified Comparative Negligence
Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are more than 51% responsible, you cannot recover damages at all under Pennsylvania's modified rule.
Choice No-Fault Auto Insurance
Pennsylvania drivers choose between "full tort" and "limited tort" coverage, which determines when you can sue for pain and suffering after a car accident.
No Cap on Compensatory Damages
Pennsylvania does not cap compensatory damages in most personal injury cases, though claims against government entities have special limitations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Cases in Larksville
Pennsylvania workers compensation provides medical expense coverage for your work injury, wage loss benefits of approximately two-thirds of your average weekly wage, specific loss benefits for permanent impairments like loss of use of a limb, and death benefits for surviving family members in fatal cases. Our attorneys ensure you receive the full amount you are entitled to under the law.
Your employer cannot force you to return to work if your treating physician has not cleared you. However, workers comp insurers may send you to an independent medical examination and use that doctor's opinion to terminate your benefits. Our attorneys challenge unfavorable IME reports with your own medical evidence and fight to keep your benefits active until you are genuinely ready to work.
A third-party claim is a personal injury lawsuit against someone other than your employer who caused or contributed to your workplace injury. Common examples include manufacturers of defective equipment, negligent subcontractors, and property owners who failed to maintain safe conditions. These claims can provide additional compensation beyond what workers comp offers.
If you were injured during the course of your employment, you likely have a valid claim regardless of who was at fault. Workers compensation is a no-fault system in Pennsylvania. Even injuries caused by your own mistake are generally covered. The key requirement is that the injury occurred while performing job duties or at your workplace.
If the insurance carrier terminates your benefits, you have the right to challenge the decision by filing a reinstatement petition with the Workers Compensation Office of Adjudication. Time limits apply, so contact an attorney promptly. We gather updated medical evidence, challenge the insurer's reasons for termination, and advocate for restoration of your benefits.
