Manufacturing can be a dangerous business. Moving machinery, malfunctioning equipment, heavy lifting and slips and falls can all put workers at risk. A recent study took a closer look at manufacturing injuries and, in the final report, uncovered some surprising trends. The 2026 Travelers Injury Impact Report analyzed more than 1.2 million workers’ compensation claims […]
Workers’ compensation was created with a straightforward promise: If you are injured or become ill because of your job, you will receive medical care and financial support while you recover.

While workers’ compensation benefits are designed to help injured employees cover medical care and a portion of lost wages, they often fall short of addressing the full impact of a serious injury. What many workers don’t realize is that, in some cases, workers’ compensation may not be […]
We recently wrote about two court decisions involving people injured in accidents who were up against big insurance companies. One was favorable, the other posed a bit of a challenge to plaintiffs. In a separate, positive development, we have been seeing trial courts across Pennsylvania making it easier for accident victims to hold defendants responsible […]
We recently wrote about a court decision that was favorable to people injured in car accidents that are up against big insurance companies who find ways to deny claims. In another recent ruling, however, a victim’s ability to “stack” his insurance benefits was limited. Case 2: The Challenge of Stacking UIM Coverage When you are […]
