What Can You Protect Rights After a Work Injury?

Back injuries such as herniated discs are the most common cause of work-related disability. If your insurance company misdiagnoses your injury as a less serious strain or sprain, it may try to stop your treatment or benefits by claiming that the treatment you need is not related to a sprain or strain or your original injury has been resolved. If this has happened to you, a work injury attorney in Philadelphia can act quickly to file a petition to change the accepted injury due to an incorrect description of that injury.
