Cases We Handle in Pennsylvania
When you hire Pond Lehocky Giordano, we immediately get to work seeking the most advantageous outcome for your legal matter. We represent clients in the following cases:
Workers’ Compensation
When workers are injured on the job, they can file a claim pursuant to Pennsylvania’s Workers’ Compensation Act. Potential workers’ compensation benefits include payment for medical expenses, lost wages, and more.
Personal Injury
Individuals and businesses who engage in negligent conduct that causes injury to others can be held liable for the victim’s medical bills, lost earnings, and more. From car accidents and premises liability to medical malpractice and birth injuries, we have your personal injury case covered.
Social Security Disability
If you are unable to work due to a disabling condition, Social Security Disability (SSD) is available. We help individuals throughout Pennsylvania. We understand the eligibility rules, the claims process, and what it takes to successfully appeal an initial SSD denial.
Civil Rights Issues
Both Pennsylvania and federal laws protect the civil rights of individuals and allow those who suffer unfair treatment to take legal action. Our firm has experience representing clients in police misconduct, discrimination, and other civil rights cases.
Employment Issues
If you have experienced harassment, discrimination, or wrongful termination, you may have the right to seek substantial monetary damages. We also assist clients with unemployment claims and have familiarity with state and federal employment law matters.
Product Liability
Companies that make, sell, and distribute unsafe products such as automobiles, medications, and equipment can be required to pay for a victim’s injuries. Product liability arises from manufacturing defects, design defects, and failure to warn consumers about dangers.
Short- and Long-Term Disability
Disability insurance helps cover a disabled employee’s salary. However, a successful claimant must provide sufficient medical evidence, meet the definition of “disabled” under the policy, and comply with other requirements. We assist with both short- and long-term disability claims and appeals.
Commercial Litigation
Running a business is rife with legal risks, which is why Pennsylvania companies of all sizes and in every industry trust our firm to litigate on their behalf. We represent plaintiffs and defendants in breach of contract lawsuits, bankruptcy, and many other commercial litigation matters, as well as mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR).
Whistleblower Cases
Federal, state, and local laws protect whistleblowers who expose corporate wrongdoing, tax evasion, and other illegal and unethical conduct. We can help you take legal action if you have faced unfair retaliation, and we can seek reinstatement, compensation, and other forms of relief.
