HB 1181 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of June 2, 1915 (P.L.736, No.338), known as the Workers' Compensation Act, in liability and compensation, further providing for compensable injuries, subrogation and proration.

HB 1181 amends Pennsylvania's Workers' Compensation Act to clarify how employers can recover costs from third parties when a work injury is caused by someone else. It specifies that attorney fees and expenses must be shared between employers and employees based on the portion of compensation the employer paid. The bill also allows employers to seek reimbursement for payments made for injuries initially deemed non-compensable, if agreed upon during settlement. This affects employers, employees, and third parties involved in workers' compensation claims where a third party is liable.
