Philadelphia Workers' Comp Attorneys
How a Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Law Firm Can Help
If you are having problems with your workers' compensation claim in Pennsylvania, you're fighting your own employer, its insurance company or the state Bureau of Workers Compensation ('BWC'). No matter where you work, this system stacks the deck against you -- pitting you and your family against organizations that have more money, time and other resources to spare. Hiring a workers' compensation lawyer evens the playing field.
Hiring a PA workers comp lawyer does not necessarily mean you will end up filing a lawsuit, although it does make any lawsuit you do file easier. The first benefit of hiring a lawyer is simply getting a thorough explanation of your rights, Pennsylvania workers' compensation law and how it affects your claim, without "legalese" or bias. The second is an immediate end to the burden of pressing your claim on your own. If you retain Cherry Fieger & Marciano, we will start negotiating on your behalf right away with your employer, its insurer and the BWC. We also take care of getting records from your doctors, and phone calls from the insurance company, so that you can focus on getting better.
Many Pennsylvania workers compensation cases are resolved at this stage, simply because hiring a law firm shows the other side that you know your rights and are ready to defend them in court. But if we can't resolve your claim through negotiation, we are fully prepared to take the next step on your behalf -- one or more administrative hearings with the BWC. You can and should have a lawyer representing you for these hearings, because a lawyer's advice substantially increases your chances of success. Not only can we provide legal and strategic advice, but we can push through the state bureaucracy to get answers and quick action that you might have trouble getting on your own.
