WHEN MANAGEMENT SAYS: "JUST FILE FOR SHORT TERM DISABILITY AND ALL WILL BE RIGHT WITH YOUR WORK INJURY!"

Beware!

When your employer presses you to apply for Short Term Disability after a work injury, they are trying to divert you away from your valuable and essential work injury rights. They are trying to avoid their own obligations under the law, at your great expense, and deny you the ability to obtain true compensation for the effects of your work injury.

Confusion and Misdirection

When management or HR tells you to apply for STD after a work injury, they are trying to confuse and misdirect you regarding your workers compensation rights. The law is INTENDED to make your work-related injury YOUR EMPLOYER'S PROBLEM, given that they are the ones in a position to secure workers compensation insurance coverage, and to make your work injury part of their "costs of doing business." But greedy employers prefer to make the work injury YOUR PROBLEM ALONE, particularly if it's a serious injury with likely lasting effects. One of their biggest tricks for doing this - particularly among employers in jobs with many injuries - is to arrange for STD insurance and divert employees with work injuries onto that path. This can open the door for many other employer abuses, and turn what should be a hugely valuable workers compensation claim for the worker into nothing but a headache and a hardship.

Flip the Script!

Workers Comp insurance companies and programs for  "self-insured" employers have employers arrange "Short Term Disability" policies for their workers, specifically to divert workers from their valuable rights. They seek to avoid their own legal obligations for a work injury and tie you up in dealings with the STD insurer. If this is happening in your claim, assume the employer has guidance from folks who know how to manipulate the system. They are not acting in your interests. You need to turn the tables. With advice and guidance from attorney Tim Kennedy, a Certified Expert in PA Workers Compensation Law with decades of experience getting results for injured workers, you can outwit the risk manager's schemes and get the full compensation (and eventual lump sum settlement) you need and deserve.
