Injury and Workers Comp Lawyers Serving Havertown, PA

We are honest about not being here

A great many law firm websites carry a page for every town in the county, each implying a local office. Some list an address that turns out to be a mail drop or a rented meeting room.

We have two offices, Media and Chester, and both are real. Havertown is served from Media. That is the whole of it.

Why it usually does not matter

Havertown is a straightforward drive from the Media office and well within the area we cover routinely.

Where your case is actually decided is not your town. A workers compensation claim is heard before a judge in the district covering your workplace. A Delaware County injury action is generally filed in the Court of Common Pleas in Media. A Social Security hearing is often held by video. None of those happen in Havertown.

What does matter is knowing those judges, those insurers and those examining physicians, and we have practiced in this county since 1982.

Havertown specifically

Havertown sits in Haverford Township in the north of the county. The claims we see are predominantly vehicle collisions on the township roads and the Route 3 corridor, premises and fall claims, and nursing home and assisted living matters given the number of facilities serving this part of the county. Township roads and municipal property bring the six month government notice requirement into play more often than people expect.

What we would do first

• Read whatever an insurer has sent you, because the document type sets the deadline.
• Find your insurance declarations pages, since your own coverage is frequently the largest available.
• Check whether a government body was involved, which shortens the deadline to six months.
• Establish whether a second claim exists alongside the first.

Getting hold of us

Both offices are answered 24 hours. If your injury makes travelling difficult, we will come to you rather than asking you to come to us.
