Workers’ Compensation Attorney

Workers' compensation is insurance that, by law, your employer is required to carry in case an employee is injured on the job, becomes ill due to circumstances surrounding their job, or if an accident at their job results in loss of life.

Any worker who has sustained an injury arising out of, and in the course of, their employment has a potential workers' compensation claim. You are covered if you were injured while traveling on business, performing work-related errands, attending a required social function, or even while on a break or using the restroom facilities. In short, any injury or illness that happens while you are at work is a work injury. 

You may be eligible for medical expenses and treatment, lost wages, lump sum settlements, and death benefits.

Yes. An attorney is very important to see that your benefits are properly protected. You may hear from a very nice insurance claims adjuster regarding your claim. The problem with taking advice from an insurance adjuster is that the adjuster's motivation for making decisions is to keep costs down and profits up. This goal is in direct conflict with your best interests, which are to obtain the best medical care and ongoing wage loss benefits for as long as you are unable to return to work. An insurance adjuster is trained to reduce the costs of the claim in any way possible, even to the extent of violating the provisions of the Workers' Compensation Act. Although the Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Act provides for penalties for insurance company misconduct, those provisions do not seem to keep violations to a minimum.

Yes. You are entitled to all of the benefits provided under the Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Act, even if you are at fault. This is an issue to discuss in further detail with your lawyer.

No. It is against the law for your employer to fire you because you have filed a claim or have retained an attorney.

No fee will be charged unless we get compensation for you. All workers' compensation cases are handled on a contingency basis. Our workers' compensation law firm gets paid only if we win or prevent the insurance company from stopping or altering your benefits.

A workers' compensation attorney helps employees who are injured or become ill because of their job. If you have sustained an injury or health issue due to your working conditions, give us a call. We can help you file claims, gather medical evidence, communicate with insurance companies on your behalf, and represent you if your claim is denied or disputed. Our goal is to help injured workers receive the medical care and wage benefits to which they are entitled.

After a workplace injury, seek medical attention right away and report the incident to your employer as soon as possible. Document the accident, keep records of medical treatment, and follow your doctor’s recommendations. Speaking with our workers' compensation attorney allows us to handle your claim correctly from the start, increasing your chance of a successful outcome.

It is usually best to contact our office as soon as possible after an accident. Early legal guidance can help you take steps to protect your rights, preserve important evidence, and prevent mistakes when speaking with insurance companies. We can review the facts of the case and explain whether you may have a compensation claim.

We handle cases involving many types of injuries, including car accidents, slip and fall incidents, workplace injuries caused by third parties, construction accidents, and defective products. If another party’s negligence contributed to the injury, you may be able to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and other damages.

Workers’ compensation claims usually provide benefits for medical treatment and lost wages after a work-related injury, regardless of fault. A personal injury case, on the other hand, is filed against a party whose negligence caused the injury. This type of case may include additional damages such as pain and suffering. In some situations, both types of claims may apply; our experienced attorneys can help determine the appropriate legal path for your situation.

Depending on the circumstances, our personal injury attorneys can pursue compensation for medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and pain and suffering. Each case is unique, so the available damages will depend on the severity of the injury and the facts surrounding the accident.

If your claim is denied, you still have options. Our team can review the reason for your denial, gather additional evidence, and represent you during the appeals process. Many denied claims can still be successfully resolved with proper legal representation and documentation.

Our estate planning attorney helps individuals create legal documents that determine how their assets will be managed and distributed after death or incapacity. This may include preparing wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives. 

You should consider hiring a wills attorney when you want to create or update a legally valid will. Life events such as marriage, divorce, having children, purchasing property, or significant financial changes are common reasons to work with a wills attorney.

Estate planning allows your executor to distribute your assets according to your wishes and can make the legal process easier for your loved ones. Our estate planning attorneys can help you organize important documents, appoint decision-makers, and reduce the potential for disputes among family members.

An estate plan often includes a will, trust documents, financial power of attorney, healthcare power of attorney, and advance medical directives. This puts a plan in place for any eventuality, providing peace of mind at all stages of life. We can review your personal and financial situation to recommend the documents that best fit your needs.

A will outlines how your assets should be distributed after your death and names guardians for minor children if necessary. A trust is a legal arrangement that allows a trustee to manage your assets for the benefit of beneficiaries. Our team can help you determine whether a will alone is sufficient or if a trust may also be beneficial.

Even individuals with modest assets can benefit from working with a wills attorney. A will allows you to designate beneficiaries, name an executor, and appoint guardians for dependents, minor children, and even pets. Without a will, state laws will determine how your property is distributed.

You should review your estate plan periodically and update it after major life events such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or significant financial changes. Our estate planning attorney can review your existing documents and recommend updates when necessary.

If a person dies without a will in Pennsylvania, their estate is distributed according to state intestacy laws. This means that the court decides how assets are divided among your relatives, usually depending on which relatives survive you. Working with a wills attorney can help ensure that your property is distributed according to your personal wishes rather than default legal rules.

An estate planning attorney can help structure your estate in a way that may reduce potential tax burdens on your heirs.

A power of attorney allows you to designate someone to manage financial or legal matters if you become unable to do so yourself. Our estate planning attorney can help prepare this document and clearly authorize your chosen representative to act on your behalf.

The more complex your situation is, the more important it becomes to work with an experienced professional. We can make sure that your will meets all legal requirements and accurately reflects your intentions. We can also easily make updates as your circumstances change.
