Construction workers have a lot of fun on the job - they get to both build and destroy structures, use heavy machinery, and be part of creating entire neighborhoods. But there is a much darker side to construction work - on the job accidents which cause serious harm to those involved.
When a worker is hurt they typically have the right to file a workers' compensation claim. Workers' comp insurance exists to protect both workers and employers - once a claim is submitted the employee cannot file a lawsuit against their employer and in return, the insurance company is supposed to pay for the injured worker's medical expenses and a fraction of their lost wages. But a large portion of all claims are denied and even those that are paid often don't cover all of the financial losses.
For workers who sustain permanent damage and are unable to return to work, a Social Security Disability claim might be able to provide some relief, however, nearly 65% of all initial claims are denied, which is why it's so important to work with an attorney..
Not only can our law firm help with both of these claims but we can also identify if you are eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit which might provide you with full compensation for all of the past and future losses you are expected to have. Contact us to learn more.
It's rare to meet an adult who has never had too much to drink - nearly every person over the age of 21 has. However, the majority of people understand that getting behind the wheel of a car while intoxicated is not only illegal but a terrible idea which puts others on the road at risk. Yet there are some who still choose to drive while drunk.
Alcohol impairs a driver's ability to see, make decisions, and their fine motor skills which is what ultimately causes a crash and sadly, it's often the victims of this driver who ultimately pay the price.
Many accidents victims sustain serious life-threatening injuries which will cost thousands and sometimes millions of dollars to treat. These injuries can also end their career resulting in financial pain on top of the physical. It doesn't take long for the car insurance policies to run out, so how can a victim recover compensation for their losses?

“I have been working since I was 14. I have probably held at least two dozen different jobs and I’ve seen people injured and hurt. One of the reasons I got involved with disability law is that I have a very good family friend who has been disabled his entire life, and I’ve seen how he’s struggled in order to keep working and try to work. When I was presented with the opportunity to get involved with what’s called “disability law,” I was really thrilled to be able to not only practice being an attorney, but helping other people who really need to know things about what their choices are, what they can do, and what their future may hold.
I am originally from Maple Glen, PA and is a life-long Eagles fan.
I have focused on helping individuals with their workers’ compensation, social security disability and long-term disability claims, as well as obtaining financial security for individuals who have had accidents.
As part of helping workers’ and their families, I have also been active in teaching continuing legal education courses to other attorneys, provide free seminars and webinars to the public on how to protect their rights, and I am active in various organizations such as the National Organization of Social Security Claims Representatives, the Injured Workers’ Bar Association and the Workers’ Injury Law & Advocacy Group.”
