Schuster Law has announced an expanded focus on workers’ compensation representation for employees across Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The firm’s practice assists individuals who have been injured in the workplace or developed occupational illnesses while performing their job duties.
“Workplace injuries can occur in any industry, and each case requires a thorough understanding of Pennsylvania’s workers’ compensation procedures,” said Ken R. Schuster, Esq., founder and managing attorney of Schuster Law. “Our work centers on ensuring that injured employees receive accurate information about their legal rights and the claims process under state law.”
Established in 1998, Schuster Law provides legal services in civil and employment-related injury cases from its office in Media, Pennsylvania. The firm represents workers from manufacturing, healthcare, construction, transportation, and service industries throughout Delaware County and neighboring regions. Its attorneys handle both initial claims and appeals involving denied or disputed benefits, focusing on compliance with Pennsylvania’s Workers’ Compensation Act.
The Pennsylvania workers’ compensation system provides wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured on the job. Schuster Law assists clients in filing claims for injuries that include falls, repetitive motion disorders, machinery accidents, and exposure-related illnesses. The firm reviews accident reports, employer communications, and medical evaluations to confirm eligibility and ensure timely submission of required documentation. Attorneys also represent clients in hearings before the Pennsylvania Bureau of Workers’ Compensation and the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board when disputes arise over benefit amounts or coverage.
In addition to representing employees in standard benefit claims, Schuster Law handles cases involving third-party liability when a non-employer’s negligence contributes to an injury. These situations can include defective machinery, unsafe premises, or negligent subcontractors. The firm evaluates whether additional civil claims are warranted while maintaining compliance with the exclusive-remedy provisions of Pennsylvania law.
The firm also advises on occupational disease cases, including those related to long-term exposure to hazardous materials, repetitive strain, or workplace stressors. In these matters, attorneys coordinate medical documentation to establish causation and address insurer challenges to diagnosis or coverage. Schuster Law ensures that evidence meets the statutory criteria for occupational disease claims as defined by Pennsylvania regulations.
Schuster Law’s representation includes assisting with wage-loss benefits, medical expense reimbursement, specific-loss benefits for permanent injuries, and vocational rehabilitation issues. The firm works with clients and medical providers to track treatment progress and document ongoing disability when required by insurers or the courts. This documentation often determines whether temporary benefits are converted to permanent disability status or whether modified-duty assignments are appropriate.
When a claim is denied, Schuster Law provides appeal representation before administrative judges and higher review boards. The appeal process requires a detailed record, including medical testimony, employer reports, and prior administrative decisions. The firm’s attorneys ensure that procedural timelines are met and that all relevant evidence is properly presented for review.
The firm also offers guidance for employers and employees seeking to understand how workers’ compensation interacts with other benefit systems, such as Social Security Disability or unemployment compensation. This coordination helps prevent benefit overlap or reduction while maintaining compliance with statutory requirements.
Ken R. Schuster, Esq., brings more than three decades of legal experience to the firm’s workers’ compensation practice. His background includes litigation in Pennsylvania state and federal courts, focusing on personal injury and employment-related cases. Under his leadership, Schuster Law continues to maintain a focus on professional integrity, factual accuracy, and procedural precision in all workers’ compensation matters.
From its Media office, Schuster Law serves clients throughout Delaware County, including Chester, Upper Darby, Springfield, and surrounding municipalities. The firm’s expansion of workers’ compensation representation underscores its continued role in helping local employees navigate Pennsylvania’s complex claims process and safeguard their workplace rights.
