Handler, Henning & Rosenberg LLC is proud to announce a $1.15 million workers' compensation settlement on behalf of a client who suffered permanent, life-altering injuries while on the job. The result is one of the largest workers' compensation settlements ever secured by our firm.
Attorney J. Jeffrey Watson, who is certified as a specialist in the practice of workers' compensation law by the Pennsylvania Bar Association’s Workers' Compensation Law Section as authorized by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, represented the client from day one. Over the course of nearly five years, Attorney Watson navigated the full spectrum of challenges posed by Pennsylvania’s workers' compensation system—delays, restrictions, and insurance pushback—to ensure our client got the care and compensation he needed.
Before reaching this final settlement, Attorney Watson successfully petitioned to increase our client’s workers' compensation checks, which the insurance carrier had shorted. He also fought to secure essential medical treatment and equipment, including a wheelchair-accessible vehicle. These efforts weren’t just legal wins—they were life-changing outcomes that gave our client more independence and the ability to live his life with dignity and freedom despite his injuries.
The $1.15 million workers' comp settlement comes in addition to a prior settlement with other negligent parties, positioning our client to move forward with greater financial security and stability.
