Workers’ Compensation Settlements
Helping Injured Northeastern Pennsylvania Employees Obtain Settlements
The complexity of workers’ compensation law, often coupled with employers and insurance carriers denying the severity of your injury, only adds to the stress of your situation. Physical pain from permanent injuries prevents you from making a living. The process can be lengthy, particularly if litigation is involved.
