Professionalism is the Word
I highly Recommend Gibson & Perkins. I have used their services for approximately 6 years now and been through a few cases together with very positive outcomes. Personally, I have used Paul Fellman and Walter Timby on those occasions. Both, as a team & separately these Attorneys were wonderful to work with and easily accessible to reach if I had any questions. Professionalism is the word that comes to mind to describe the firm, as a whole. Always completely prepared for any surprises that may pop up during a trial. They were well versed on all pertinent info pertaining to each case. As I client, I always felt I was an integral part of the team, not an after-thought, that had to be brought up to speed a half hour before the trial started. I could not recommend this firm and Mr. Fellman and Mr. Timby any higher.Very Satisfied
I hired Paul Fellman after speeking to several different lawyers from different law firms because he was the most sincere. Paul did an excellent job on my landlord tenant issue I had on my rental property. He was there for me from the beginning to the end of the whole ordeal. I was very satisfied and I highly recommend him and his firm.

Question:
What can be done if I was injured in an auto accident while on the job in Delaware County?
Answer:
As a proficient Delaware County Car Accident Lawyer, clients often come to me with questions about injuries they had in a car accident when they were still on the job.
If you are seriously injured in an automobile accident while you’re working, your source of initial compensation is determined in a different manner than for an accident during personal time.
Your medical benefits and wage loss issues are now set by the Pennsylvania Worker’s Compensation Act. By that, I mean you have to make a claim against the employer’s workers’ compensation insurance company and they will pay the full amount of your medical bills and about two-thirds of your wages for the amount of time you are out of work. They are obligated to pay 100% of the benefits, less a certain determination under the statute as to what the medical provider can charge. You are limited to the 2/3 wage loss for as long as you are out of work.
This, however, does not preclude you or stop you from filing a lawsuit against the other individual. There will be a limitation on what you can recover as far as your medical bills, up to the $5,000 limit in automobile coverage. There will also be a limit to the amount you’re able to collect under your automobile insurance for wages. But you can proceed with your litigation against the third party.
If you are successful in pursuing litigation against the third party, the worker’s compensation insurer may file a workers’ compensation lien to recoup some of the medical and wage loss they’ve already compensated you for. However, you are in a better position because all your medical bills are paid and you’ve at least received workers’ compensation wage benefits for the amount of time that you are unable to work.
