A one-time lift can do more harm than a fall from a cliff.
If you are lifting, carrying, slinging heavy weights in your work, you are an injury waiting to happen. Statistically and factually. Lifting is hard on the back. One lift too many or at the wrong time or the slightest move the wrong way, and you could have a disc herniation, nerve root impingent, and tell-tale burning, numbness or tingling into one or both legs or feet. This kind of injury does not resolve quickly, and may lead to a prolonged period of disabilty. This is especially true for workers whose jobs depend on being able to lift, carry, climb, bend or, well, move. It can also be true, however, even for whose jobs are no more active than sitting. For an injured worker with sciatica or nerve pain into the legs (especially down the back of the thighs and the outside of the lower legs and certain parts of the foot), even a sit down or "sedentary" job can be too much to handle. Pain from such injuries can become distracting or even intolerable by the end of an attempted shift, even in strict light duty. This can make it very hard for an employee to return to work. This means your access to workers' compensation benefits is crucial. It also means the benefits available to you under the Act are substantial. Do not let your employer's moves hurt your valuable rights. Do not take the advice of adjusters or nurse case managers who work for the insurance carrier and whose jobs exist for the purpose of limiting the cost of your claim.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS:
I had a serious work related injury. I hired Tim after speaking with him and feeling completely at ease with his professionalism and demeanor. My case became complicated over time. Throughout the process I always felt that Tim had my best interest in mind. With every phone call or email, Tim was very informative and proactive, always explaining things in a way I could understand. He worked hard for me in his dealings with my employers insurance company. He did this so much so, the insurance company actually fired their own attorneys in the middle of litigation. In the end, Tim was able to negotiate a substantial settlement, including taking the burden off of me of an excessive amount of unpaid medical bills. I would highly recommend Tim.

I truly love, respect and appreciate Attorney Timothy James Kennedy for his highly professional, unselfish(going above and beyond), highly dedicated approach in working with me and my unfortunate circumstances and my unfortunate legal dilemma... and will with every opportunity be highly recommending his legal services to all family, friends and strangers found in-need of such services!
Attorney Timothy James Kennedy is not only a true professional, he is a loving, caring, sharing human being who not only cares about his cases and reputation, but cares also for the lives and the families of those he so-caringly and so humbly represents!
He will always be appreciated and will never - ever - be forgotten. I, on behalf of myself and my family, appreciate the fact that he was willing to stop by and become "The Good Samaritan" in our lives!

Timothy is a really great lawyer. He knows what to do, and how to handle really sticky situations. When I first came to him, I had very little to back me up, but we mainly him lol pulled through and got the job done with GREAT results. If I could back in time I would still pick him as a lawyer 1000 times more. He took his time, talk to me like I was a person and not a dollor sign, and made lawyer jargon understandable english for me. I truely felt comfortable with him handling my case, and I never doubted him since the very first meeting. I also like that he gives his personal direct number to get in contact with him whenever you may need him, and he always responds if not that same day, the very next. The only bad thing I would have to say is its a shame I would have legal trouble to work with him again lol.

-Marvin (Workers Compensation Client)
When hiring a lawyer you need to be sure that they are knowledgeable,trustworthy,responsive and most of all have very strong confidence in their abilities to fight for your rights. Mr. Kennedy is one of the most confident people i know. He is determined and aggressive. I guess i can also say he is feared by others. Mr. Kennedy made me feel as we were friends by always keeping me informed and also asking me for my input as well as cared for my opinion. He told me that he would have no problem getting me the amount that i felt i deserved. He then said i will do better than that were gonna go high and mabey hit a homerun. When he called me with news of the final judgement i was shocked he said i not only hit a homerun for you, it was a grandslam. His work is so impressive he can be considered to be the best in PA.
