This section collects plain answers about Pennsylvania injury, workers compensation, nursing home, disability and land use claims. If you are looking for a specific answer, the practice area sections below go into detail, and every one of them starts with the answer rather than a preamble.

Start where your problem is

  • Workers compensation. Deadlines, denials, IMEs, settlements, and the third party claim most firms miss.
  • Personal injury. Full and limited tort, what a claim is worth, and what to do in the first week.
  • Nursing home abuse and neglect. What the records show, how to report, and what a pressure sore proves.
  • Disability. Short term, long term and Social Security, and why the ERISA appeal decides the case.
  • Land use and zoning. Variances, conditional use, and the 30 day appeal window.

The questions people ask most

How this section is written

Answer first, then the explanation. If there is a number, a deadline or a rule, it is in the first sentence rather than four paragraphs down.

You will not find settlement figures here, and that is deliberate. Most people who call have a wage loss crisis rather than a headline case, and what they need to know is whether their money restarts and when.

Local pages

The firm has published information about the communities across our Delaware County offices for years. Those pages are still here, and the two office pages, Media and Chester, explain what each one actually covers.

The attorneys who handle these cases

Every one of these bar numbers is searchable on the Pennsylvania Disciplinary Board register. The person who takes your call is the person at your hearing.

Questions people ask us about this

Where should I start?

With the practice area closest to your problem: workers compensation if you were hurt at work, personal injury if you were hurt anywhere else, and the nursing home, disability or land use sections for those. Every page begins with the answer rather than a preamble.

Why are there no settlement figures on this site?

Because the previous site carried figures we could not verify, and because a large number tells you very little about your own case. Most people calling have a wage loss crisis rather than a headline case. The results page explains this in full.

Is any of this legal advice?

No. It is general information about Pennsylvania law, and your situation may turn on facts these pages do not contemplate. A conversation about your specific circumstances costs nothing and does not commit you to anything.
