Burns & Scarring

Delaware Valley and Philadelphia Area Burn Injury Lawyer

If you have suffered a work-related burn or other injury that has left you with a permanent disfigurement or severe scarring on your head, face or neck; you should contact an experienced workers' compensation attorney immediately. You may be entitled to additional benefits beyond a traditional workers' compensation settlement.

Havertown, Pennsylvania, based attorney Edward R. Dougherty has more than 25 years of experience in workers' compensation law. From the day he opened his doors, Mr. Dougherty has been helping people throughout the Philadelphia metro receive fair compensation for burn injuries and many other workplace incidents.

Always Working to Protect Your Interests

Depending on the severity of the incident, victims of work-related burn injuries in Pennsylvania may be entitled to an additional one-time payment under the Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Act. Typically these payments are equivalent to an agreed upon number of weeks' pay and are only made available to victims with permanent visible scarring on the head, face or neck.

In addition, if your injury occurred as a result of faulty equipment, you may have a claim for third party liability damages. If the equipment malfunctioned or was improperly installed or maintained, Mr. Dougherty can help you pursue damages in a separate products liability claim.
