Wilkes-Barre Workers’ Compensation Lawyers
Standing Up for Injured Workers Across Luzerne County
A workplace injury can turn your life upside down—especially when lost income, medical bills, and pressure from your employer start piling up. If you were hurt on the job in Wilkes-Barre or anywhere in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania law provides important protections. Our role is to make sure you receive every benefit you’re entitled to under the Workers’ Compensation Act.
At O’Donnell Law Offices, we understand how stressful and confusing this process can be. Our attorneys include professionals who have earned advanced certification in Workers’ Compensation law—an achievement held by only a small number of lawyers statewide. That experience allows us to anticipate insurance-company tactics, secure the medical documentation your claim needs, and fight back when your benefits are delayed or denied.

Why Workers’ Compensation Claims in Wilkes-Barre Get Complicated
Insurance carriers often try to limit payouts by arguing that:
- Your injury wasn’t work-related
- You can return to work before you’re medically ready
- You had a pre-existing condition
- Your medical care isn’t “reasonable or necessary”
Our firm pushes back against these tactics by gathering medical records, consulting with experts, interviewing witnesses, and ensuring all deadlines are met. We handle the legal issues so you can focus on your recovery.
