How long do I have to file a claim if I am hurt at work?

The Statute of Limitations for filing a workers' compensation claim in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is 3 years from the date of the accident or 3 years from the date you have knowledge of your injury.  Providing notice to your employer is not sufficient to toll the statute and failing to properly file your claim within the required time limit may cause you to lose your right and ability to do so.
