I graduated from Temple University School of Law in 1992. Since that time, I have practiced solely in the areas of workers' compensation, social security disability, and related state and federal disability law. This was further limited to just Pennsylvania workers’ compensation matters over the last several years. In addition to Pennsylvania licensure, I am also licensed to practice in the state courts of New Jersey, and am admitted to practice in Federal District Courts in both states. On various occasions, I have been a speaker at public information seminars, as well as seminars sponsored by The Bucks County Bar Association and National Business Institute, on workers' compensation topics. I have also participated in The People's Law School curriculum, teaching a class on workers' compensation. Most recently, I was invited to join the faculty of LawLine.com, a prestigious legal education provider. I am an active member of the Bucks County, Philadelphia and Pennsylvania Bar Associations. Away from the office, I serve as President of the homeowners’ association of a 400-residence development.

- Q. Can I sue a homeowner for injury instead of workers' comp in PA?
- A: I agree with Mr. Belt. Where available, an injured worker need not choose between receiving workers' compensation benefits and pursuing a personal injury case against a third party responsible for the work injury. There is interplay between the two types of cases, but both can be pursued. Good luck!
- Q. Do I need to repay workers' comp if I can't return to work due to injury?

You could easily cost yourself in terms of money and rights by doing things in the wrong order. This forum is great for having simple questions answered.

I would urge you to contact an attorney certified as a specialist in workers' compensation law, whether my firm or another of the fine attorneys on this board. Good luck!
- Q. If collecting workers compensation are you able to volunteer? It's my daughter's play I will sitting there collecting mo
- A: We cannot provide legal advice on this board. We can only give general legal information. We cannot tell you whether you should take this action or not. Generally speaking, I often tell clients that they should avoid doing something that would surprise their doctor. As to whether one can volunteer in general, it may help to look at the question from the other side - as a general rule, an insurance company will ask why a person cannot "work" if they are able to "volunteer." This, of course, depends on the type of task one volunteers to do, the frequency it is done and the type of the injury.
