The Chester office is at 405 Avenue of the States and is answered 24 hours on (610) 686-3088. It serves the south and riverfront end of Delaware County, including Aston, Brookhaven, Boothwyn, Upper Chichester, Linwood, Trainer and Crum Lynne.

Where we are

405 Avenue of the States, Chester, PA 19013, in the middle of the city rather than out at an office park, which matters when people need to walk in.

The work that comes out of this end of the county

Chester and the riverfront are working towns, and the caseload reflects that. Refinery and plant injuries. Warehouse and distribution work along the 322 and 291 corridors. Longshore and terminal work at the port. Construction. Delivery driving. Healthcare aides in facilities across the south of the county.

These are workers compensation cases first, and very often something more. A refinery contractor injured by another company’s equipment, a driver hit by a third party while working, a machine with a guard removed by its manufacturer: the compensation claim is the floor, and the third party claim alongside it is frequently worth more. Firms that only handle comp file the first and stop.

The area this office serves

Chester and Chester Township, Aston and Aston Mills, Brookhaven, Boothwyn, Upper Chichester, Linwood, Trainer, Twin Oaks and Crum Lynne.

If you are further north or west in the county, the Media office is likely closer to you.

Being straight about this office

The Media office is the head office and has been since 1982. Chester is the satellite, and it is newer, which shows in the review count: 135 Google reviews for Media against 5 for Chester at the time of writing. We would rather say that than let a review count imply something it does not.

What is not different is who handles the file. The same six attorneys work both offices, and the attorney assigned to your case is named, reachable, and the person who appears at your hearing.

Questions people ask us about this

Where is the Chester office?

405 Avenue of the States, Chester, PA 19013, in the center of the city. It is answered 24 hours on (610) 686-3088, including weekends.

Is the Chester office a real office or just an address?

It is a real office at 405 Avenue of the States and you can walk in, though it is worth calling first so the attorney who handles your kind of claim is there. It is the firm's satellite office; Media has been the head office since 1982.

I was hurt at the refinery or the port. Is that workers comp?

Workers compensation covers it, and there is often a second claim as well. Where another company's equipment, contractor or driver contributed, a third party claim runs alongside the compensation claim and can be worth considerably more, because compensation does not pay for pain and suffering. Certain maritime and longshore jobs also fall under a different federal scheme, which is worth checking early.
