“I hurt my back loading a trailer and the insurer sent me to their doctor, who said I was fine. Ebele got me in front of my own surgeon and stayed on it until the payments started.”

Hurt at work? Meet the people who'll carry your claim.
We're three lawyers and two case staff in three offices, and every client we have is an injured worker. Call the office nearest you and one of us will tell you, in plain words, what happens next.
From clients
What people said once the checks started coming
“Kirsten called me every two weeks whether there was news or not. I never had to wonder if somebody forgot about me.”
Rosemary K.Nursing aide, Johnstown
“My hands went numb after twenty years on the line. I didn't know that counted. Hema explained it at my kitchen table, in about ten minutes.”
Gus P.Machine operator, Pittsburgh
Sample comments from clients. Each client's case is different, and what happened in one case doesn't predict the result of another.
Our clients
Drivers, mill hands, aides and the families who waited with them
These are the kinds of people we work for, from the Ohio line to the Laurel Highlands. Every one of them called us not knowing if they had a claim.
What we take on
Four ways a work injury claim goes, and a page on each
Most people who call us fit one of these. If you aren't sure which, that's what the first call is for.
Injured or made sick at work
A fall, a lift, a machine, a crash on the clock, or an illness that built up over years on the job.
About work injuriesDenied or cut off
The insurer said no, stopped your checks, or sent you back to work before your doctor did.
About denied claimsWage loss and medical bills
Getting part of your pay while you heal, your treatment paid for, and what's owed if the injury lasts.
About wage and medical benefitsSomeone else's fault
A driver, a contractor or a machine maker caused the injury, so there may be a second claim.
About third-party claims

Before you sign anything
Talk to us before you sign what the insurer sends
A recorded statement, a return-to-work letter, a settlement offer: call first. It's a free conversation, and you decide what happens after it.
No fee unless you receive benefits: the fee is a share of what you're awarded, set out in writing before we start. Case costs, such as medical records and doctors' reports, are separate, and we tell you which ones you may owe before you sign.
