For years, we have had an office in the center of Allentown, and represented injured workers all along the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton corridor. We have attended workers’ compensation hearings at the Workers’ Compensation Judge office in Allentown (on Tilghman Street), as well as at the Northampton County Courthouse (where Northampton County workers’…
We have talked before on this blog about how an injured worker can go about choosing a Pennsylvania workers’ compensation attorney. Since this is such a common question, the issue is so important, and there are so many choices, we even have a page on our website devoted to the…
While workers in Pennsylvania are generally all covered by the PA Workers’ Compensation Act (other than certain classes, such as Federal workers, some of those in the shipping industry, and others), not all are treated equally.

Since they are not binding on a Workers’ Compensation Judge (WCJ), we rarely discuss non-precedential (or “non-reported”) cases on our blog. However, when…
Once an injured worker proves an entitlement to workers’ compensation benefits in PA, only certain things allow a Pennsylvania workers’ comp insurance company to stop paying those benefits. Some of the more common things would be convincing a Workers’ Compensation Judge (WCJ) that the injured worker has fully recovered, has…
We are not the official workers’ compensation law firm of the NFL. Or of any major sport. What does that even mean? We do not have a slick marketing department, which puts our faces on billboards or TV. What we ARE is the law firm for injured workers. Our focus…
