Scranton, PA is a well-known city for fans of “The Office”, although the iconic “Welcome to Scranton” sign that can be found in the opening credits isn’t actually there to welcome you into town – it’s on the second floor of the Mall at Steamtown. But this city isn’t just the home of a fictional paper company. Nearly 80,000 residents live and work here.
Of those who are employed, the majority work in the following industries:
- construction
- mining
- manufacturing
- financial services
- transportation
- education
As many of these workers know, the top industries in Scranton and Wilkes Barre can be quite dangerous. Serious injuries, such as traumatic brain trauma, spinal cord damage, amputations, crush injuries, and broken bones are not uncommon. Perhaps the worst shock, however, comes when these dedicated employees find that their workers’ compensation claim, which is supposed to cover their medical expenses and at least a fraction of lost wages, has been denied. Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence and nearly 50% of all workers’ compensation claims are denied outright every year. So where can an injured worker turn when this happens to them?

“Larry made sure I could pay my bills.
After I was hurt on the job, the insurance company denied my workers’ compensation claim. I was left with thousands of dollars in medical bills and had no idea how I was going to pay them. Larry made sure that I got what I needed and he explained everything in detail so I always knew what was going on with my case. “
