Pennsylvania Workers Compensation Claim

My promise to you: I offer legal advice and guidance to you to best perfect and protect your Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation claim. If you are on compensation or you have suffered a work injury and you are contemplating a claim, I will be available to you for legal advice concerning your claim any time, day or night, directly, without intermediaries, without call screening. I will help you find doctors who are sympathetic and competent as well as able to document your claim and stand up for you if necessary in future litigation. I will strive with all of the skill of my sixteen years of experience litigating workers' compensation claims and representing injured workers, to ensure that your rights are protected, preserved and advanced. During all of this, I will not collect a single dime from you unless and until your claim goes into active litigation in a manner that puts your benefits at risk or until you approve a lump sum settlement I will negotiate for you. -Timothy Kennedy, Esq.

A “NO RISK” FOR YOU, A “NO-BRAINER” FOR ME:

How can I afford to do this? The better question would be, how can I afford not to. First, if you have a legitimate work injury, I admit that I have an interest in making you my client as early as possible, if only to keep you away from my competitors: There are a lot of attorneys out there, as I am sure you have noticed. Second, and more important, you have an interest in becoming my client as early as possible, because my early involvement in your case will give you the vast benefit of my guidance to shape and protect your rights in a system where all other involved persons (employer, insurance adjuster, company or “panel” doctors, nurse case managers, vocational specialists, “independent” medical examiners, and the like) are all truly arrayed against your interests and are all well-versed in the law and the workers’ compensation system. Third, even though I may end up representing you and providing you with legal advice and services for a substantial period of time without collecting any fee, sometimes even for years, my early involvement and guidance is eventually likely to pay off very well for both of us, in the form of keeping your claim on the best possible footing for when the insurance carrier or employer try to knock you off of compensation by litigation and increased value when a lump sum settlement is reached.
