Though no formal announcement has been made by the Pennsylvania Bureau of Workers’ Compensation, we have learned that Holly San Angelo and Lawrence Beck have been named as new Workers’ Compensation Judges in PA. As we have previously mentioned, workers’ comp cases in Pennsylvania are typically held in the County in which the injured worker resides. Workers’ compensation hearing offices are spread throughout the State of Pennsylvania.
Judge San Angelo will be assigned to the Northeast Philadelphia Hearing Office (on Grant Avenue in Northeast Philadelphia) and Judge Beck will be in the Philadelphia Hearing Office (at 8th and Arch Streets in Center City Philadelphia). Having litigated cases against both of the new Judges in the past, we can safely say that the bench will improved by the presence of these two members.
