If you are a Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation claimant and you have received something called an "Earning Power Assessment", your compensation benefits are at extreme risk. This means the workmens compensation insurance carrier has already taken your claim down several steps toward cutting off your benefits. These same moves by the insurer will greatly impact the potential lump sum settlement value of your claim. The insurance company will soon use this evidence to stop your compensation. You must need to be ready to fight to hold on to your current rights and to advance your claim. You need help from a good lawyer immediately, if you are not already represented.

The Earning Power Assessment indicates how much the insurance company's "expert" vocational consultant has determined you could or should be earning in your local labor market, if only you were out there working. It makes no difference to the insurance carrier that your own treating doctors may be saying you should NOT be working, or perhaps could not safely do the types of jobs the vocational specialist names.

If the insurance carrier has gone this far to get evidence to harm your rights and to help them avoid their obligations, you cannot delay any longer. The axe will soon fall: a petition will be filed against you. This will be in the form of a Suspension or Modification Petition, and the first thing the insurer will try to do is STOP your compensation while the case goes through litigation, by what is called a "request for supersedeas." You will need a competent workers compensation lawyer to respond, both to the request for supersedeas and to the Suspension and Modification Petition generally.

If you don't have an attorney and you have already reached the point where the insurer has its Earning Power Assessment prepared, you have missed the opportunity to have an attorney advising you through "vocational development" phase of your claim. This will put you at more of a disadvantage in the coming litigation, but a truly skilled work injury lawyer should be able to put things to rights. You need to act immediately to arrange for legal representation. Call The Law Offices of Timothy Kennedy at 484-453-8144 right now. We can explain what needs to be done be protect yourself from losing your benefits in the near term, to strengthen your case for the fight ahead, and to position your claim in such a way that the insurance carrier will take notice that the only way for them to resolve their exposure for your serious work injury is to negotiate a truly reasonable, full-value settlement, NOT by resort to ploys like an Earning Power Assessment and related litigation.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS:

I had a serious work related injury. I hired Tim after speaking with him and feeling completely at ease with his professionalism and demeanor. My case became complicated over time. Throughout the process I always felt that Tim had my best interest in mind. With every phone call or email, Tim was very informative and proactive, always explaining things in a way I could understand. He worked hard for me in his dealings with my employers insurance company. He did this so much so, the insurance company actually fired their own attorneys in the middle of litigation. In the end, Tim was able to negotiate a substantial settlement, including taking the burden off of me of an excessive amount of unpaid medical bills. I would highly recommend Tim.

Timothy is a really great lawyer. He knows what to do, and how to handle really sticky situations. When I first came to him, I had very little to back me up, but we mainly him lol pulled through and got the job done with GREAT results. If I could back in time I would still pick him as a lawyer 1000 times more. He took his time, talk to me like I was a person and not a dollor sign, and made lawyer jargon understandable english for me. I truely felt comfortable with him handling my case, and I never doubted him since the very first meeting. I also like that he gives his personal direct number to get in contact with him whenever you may need him, and he always responds if not that same day, the very next. The only bad thing I would have to say is its a shame I would have legal trouble to work with him again lol.
