Workers' Compensation Lawyer Serving Pennsylvania

A work injury does not stop at a county line, and neither does the help we offer. The Boles Firm is based in Philadelphia, and we represent injured workers in the city, across the surrounding suburbs, and in counties throughout eastern and central Pennsylvania. We take workers' compensation cases statewide.

When you call, you speak directly with attorney Gregory Boles. Your case is not handed off to a call center, an intake screener, or a virtual assistant. Greg started his career representing insurance companies, so he knows how adjusters review claims, look for reasons to deny them, and push injured workers back to their jobs too soon. For more than three decades, he has used that experience on the side of injured employees.

Pennsylvania's workers' compensation system follows the same rules in every county. The Workers' Compensation Act sets the benefits, the deadlines, and the process, and claims are heard by workers' compensation judges through the state's Office of Adjudication. What changes from one area to the next is the kind of work people do and where they get treated. Warehouse and logistics jobs, manufacturing, healthcare, construction, and the trades each lead to different injuries and different disputes with insurers.

Our work is centered on the eastern half of the state, from Scranton and Wilkes-Barre down through the Lehigh Valley, Harrisburg, and Gettysburg, and east to the Philadelphia area. If you were hurt on the job anywhere in Pennsylvania, call us and we will tell you plainly whether we can help.

Our office is at 1760 Market Street, Suite 603, in Philadelphia. We represent injured workers in the city and in the suburban counties around it, including those hurt at hospitals, construction sites, airports, warehouses, and job sites along the I-95 and I-76 corridors. That includes Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties.

We represent injured workers in Allentown and throughout the Lehigh Valley, as well as in Berks, Carbon, Lehigh, and Monroe counties. These areas have a large share of warehouse, logistics, and manufacturing employers, and the injuries we see there often involve heavy equipment, repetitive strain, and long shifts.

Injured workers in Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, and the surrounding area can call us directly. We handle claims for employees in Luzerne, Columbia, Montour, Northumberland, and Schuylkill counties, where many people work in warehousing, distribution, manufacturing, and healthcare.

We also represent workers in the Harrisburg area, in Gettysburg, and across south central and central Pennsylvania, including Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Juniata, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry, Snyder, Union, and York counties. If your employer or its insurance company is disputing your claim, you do not have to travel to Philadelphia to start the conversation. A phone call is enough to get your questions answered.

Many injured workers fall behind on rent, utilities, and medical bills while a claim is pending. We put together a resource guide for each of the counties above that lists local help with food, health care, transportation, housing and utility costs, legal aid, and crisis support. You can find them on our County Resource Guides page.

The deadlines in Pennsylvania are the same in every county, and missing one can cost you benefits. Keep these in mind:

• Report your injury to your employer within 21 days to protect benefits back to the date of the injury.
• If you report after 21 days but within 120 days, benefits begin only from the date you gave notice.
• If you wait longer than 120 days to report, you may lose the right to benefits altogether.
• Once your employer is notified, the insurance company has 21 days to accept the claim, temporarily accept it, or deny it.
• If your claim is denied, you generally have three years from the date of injury to file a Claim Petition.

If you are not sure where your claim stands, a short call can tell you which of these dates apply to you.

Greg wrote The Wounded Worker, available in print and as an ebook, to give injured workers clear and practical answers about the claims process. He brings the same approach to every call. He listens to what happened, reviews your paperwork himself, and explains your options without pressure.
