Under the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act, workers who get injured on the job are usually entitled to two-thirds of their average pre-injury weekly wage for each qualifying week they spend out of work, in addition to coverage for necessary medical expenses. In practice, though, injured workers do not always receive this exact amount, as this same section of state law also allows for adjustments to this rate depending on how much in salary or wages a particular injured work earned prior to getting hurt.
