Under the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act, you cannot sue your employer or co-workers for negligence in causing your injury. There are exceptions to the rule however, and you need to consult with experienced Workers’ Compensation counsel to determine whether an exception applies in your case.
The most notable exception is where your employer has failed to maintain the mandatory Workers’ Compensation insurance. By failing to comply with the requirements of the Workers’ Compensation Act in providing insurance, the employer loses the immunity which the Workers’ Compensation Act grants.
