I'd called around to a few attorneys in Media and they told me my case was too small. Spoke to Geoff and Melissa over the phone and no case is too small for someone who is hurt on the job. Anytime I'd called, they picked up or called back in a few minutes. They were the right law firm for workmen comp and they did a great job with a fair settlement. They always answer all my questions, got the medical bills paid and my workmen comp checks started.

Absolutely, Positively, one of the Best Calls (recommendation) I’ve ever made. Geofferys Incredible Professionalism, and Demeanor, helped me through one of the most Incredibly Challenging Times in my Life. Dealing with Issues I never expected after Getting Seriously Injured at Work. Geoffery got me through years of Surgeries, Medical Procedures and Income Protection that (almost) got me back Physically to 100%, and allowed my Wife and to Continue on Financially. Without Geoffrey and his Office Staff, My Life would have been Tremendously Disrupted, Financially, Physically, Emotionally, etc.. If your Seriously Considering Calling an Attorney, Geoffery’s Hillsburg Office should be your 1st and Only Call.

Having lost all respect for the workman's comp process, I tried to do it myself, then I contacted Mr. Hillsberg. From day 1 my outlook turned completely around. Mr. Hillsberg explained in comprehensive terms what he was going do for me ( and my family) From that point forward, Mr. Hillsberg handled all correspondence with the workman's comp people and explained every step that was to be taken. His fee is reasonable and well worth it. I would highly recommend his service because personally I think he is the best out there.

I am a practicing attorney. Over the years, I have regularly referred my clients to Geoff to represent them for workers’ compensation matters. He is trustworthy, reliable and is a good communicator. I would highly recommend him.

No. The Workers’ Compensation Act does not require that you treat with a doctor selected by the Employer/Insurance Company and an injured worker always has the right to treat with any doctor they wish. However, if an injured worker chooses to treat with a doctor not approved by the Employer/Insurance Company, they may not have to pay for any treatment the worker received within the first 90 days after the work injury.
As a general rule, there is no direct impact on an individual’s right to Workers’ Compensation Benefits merely because the employer goes out of business. Most employers have purchased insurance coverage through an insurance company and as long as that insurance company is financially sound, there will be no impact on benefits.
Generally, injured workers should consider settling if their medical condition has stabilized, they can find an alternative way to bring revenue into the home (either through a spouse, SSD, etc.), and they receive a reasonable settlement offer. If there is no discussion of future surgery, physical therapy has ceased and the treating physicians indicate there is nothing more they can do, then there is a good chance that your medical condition is stable and will not worsen.
The first course of action is to have your workers’ comp attorney call the adjuster or defense attorney and find out what happened. Often there is a clerical error or oversight and the checks are promptly re-issued. However, if there is a pattern of late checks, or the insurance company refuses to reinstate the benefits, then a Penalty Petition may be appropriate.
The length of time it takes to fully litigate a Claim Petition varies widely depending on the complexity of the case, the amount of evidence that must be collected, and the number of issues in dispute in your case. The amount of time is also influenced by the hearing procedures of the Judge you are assigned. In general, it takes at least eight months to fully litigate a Claim Petition in Delaware County.
