Am I covered under workers’ compensation?
Almost every Pennsylvania employee is covered under the Workers’ Compensation Act. This includes all full-time, part-time, and seasonal workers. Exceptions include workers in certain industries, such as railroad workers and maritime workers, who may be covered by other insurance. Independent contractors and volunteers are usually not covered, but there may be other ways to obtain compensation if you are injured. A workers’ compensation lawyer can advise you about your options.
