Frequently Asked Questions

We believe that quality legal representation should be – and can be – available and affordable to all. In order to alleviate the need for clients to pay legal fees upfront, our civil litigation cases are based on a contingency fee – we get paid a percentage of the judgment only when we win the case. As dictated by Pennsylvania law, commercial litigation and family law matters are based on an hourly rate.

When you suffer an injury while working, you are eligible for both workers’ compensation wage loss benefits and payment of medical bills.  To know if you can recover, call (215) 977-7141 to speak with an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer.

If you are receiving, or have received workers’ compensation benefits, you may be entitled to a lump sum settlement.   Since the lump sum settlement ends future benefits, it is important for you to sit and make sure that your rights are being protected while maximizing the value of your case.  At Rocco Law, we help you value the past, present and the future benefits that you may be entitled to so that you are protected.

If you have suffered a work injury, you need to understand the interplay between your rights as an employee and an injured worker.  Do not have these difficult conversations with your employer without understanding how to protect yourself.    While worker’s compensation does not necessarily protect your job, there are many Federal and State Laws that are interplay which is why you want a lawyer that understands both workers’ compensation and employment law.

If you have a pre-exisiting condition, you are still entitled to receive workers’ compensation benefits but it becomes more complicated making it more important to get legal advice as soon as you are injured.  Do not wait to speak with an experienced attorney.
