You would need to have an attorney in your area go over all of the facts of the case, for a good idea if this is worth pursuing. There is almost certainly more factual detail involved, and those details can be critical. Also , there are some variations in this area of the law, from one state to the next, and I don't practice in Pennsylvania. You can find qualified lawyers in a number of places, including our website, http://attorneypages.com
Workplace injuries are governed by the workers compensation laws, and that is a very different system from how other injuries are handled.

The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
