The Workers’ Compensation Appeals Process

The first step in the appeals process is to file your appeal with the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board within 20 days of the original written decision.

If the appeals board agrees with the original decision, you still have options.

We can take your case to the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court for further review, aiming to prove those deciding your case at the lower levels made a mistake. While most cases end with the Commonwealth Court’s decision, cases can go even further to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

We have successfully guided clients through the appeals process many times, and we can help you, too.
