Montgomery County is home to one of the most concentrated pharmaceutical and biotech workforces in the United States. The corridor running along Route 202 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike through Blue Bell, North Wales, Horsham, and King of Prussia employs tens of thousands of production, laboratory, and support workers at some of the largest drug manufacturers in the world. It also has one of the highest concentrations of retail employment in the region. The King of Prussia retail corridor is among the largest in the country, and the workers stocking shelves, managing stockrooms, and working warehouse floors face overexertion and injury at rates that rarely make headlines. Abington, Lansdale, Pottstown, and Norristown add a dense layer of healthcare workers, construction crews, school district employees, and manufacturing workers who complete the picture of one of Pennsylvania’s most economically complex counties.
When any of these workers get hurt, they run into the same wall: an employer and an insurance company that will use every tool available to minimize what they pay. At Lerner, Steinberg & Associates, we have spent over 34 years representing injured workers throughout southeastern Pennsylvania. We know Montgomery County’s industries and we know how to fight the insurers that operate within them.

Montgomery County’s insurance carriers know the system and use it to delay payments, dispute medical treatment, and push injured workers toward settlements worth far less than what they are owed. Our job is to make sure that does not happen to you. When you hire us, we:
Montgomery County's workforce is anchored by two industries that produce some of the highest workplace injury rates in Pennsylvania — healthcare and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Nurses, CNAs, and patient care staff at Jefferson Einstein, Abington Jefferson, Lansdale, and Pottstown hospitals face patient handling injuries, slip and falls, and needle sticks daily. Production and laboratory workers along the dense Route 202 pharmaceutical corridor face chemical exposure, repetitive stress, and equipment injuries that are frequently underreported in an industry where workers fear jeopardizing specialized careers.
Beyond those two sectors, the King of Prussia retail corridor employs one of the largest concentrations of retail workers in the region — overexertion, heavy lifting, and slip and fall injuries are constant and routinely minimized by employers. Construction workers are active throughout the county's rapidly expanding townships. Warehouse and distribution workers line the I-476 corridor. School district employees across a dozen-plus districts face injuries that self-insured districts aggressively contest. In every case, the pattern is the same: workers who get hurt face employers and insurers determined to pay as little as possible.
Nurses, CNAs, and patient care staff at Jefferson Einstein, Abington Jefferson Health, Lansdale Hospital, and Pottstown Hospital face patient handling injuries, slip and falls, and needle sticks — all fully covered under Pennsylvania workers' compensation.
Production and lab workers along the Route 202 corridor face chemical exposure, repetitive stress injuries, and equipment accidents. Many hesitate to file claims in a competitive industry — but Pennsylvania law fully protects their right to benefits.
The King of Prussia corridor and the county's commercial districts employ thousands of workers at constant risk of overexertion, heavy lifting injuries, and slip and falls. These injuries are real, serious, and fully compensable regardless of how employers frame them.
Active development across Horsham, Lansdale, Pottstown, and throughout the county means construction injuries are a constant. Falls from heights, electrocutions, and equipment accidents can permanently alter a worker's life.
Workers along the I-476 corridor face machinery accidents, repetitive stress injuries, and overexertion claims. Many develop over months or years and are still fully compensable under Pennsylvania law.
Custodians, maintenance staff, bus drivers, and teachers across Norristown, Abington, Cheltenham, North Penn, Pottstown, and other Montgomery County districts are injured regularly — and often face resistance from self-insured districts protecting their budgets.
We represent Montgomery County workers suffering from all types of workplace injuries, including:
We represent injured workers across all of Montgomery County’s major industries, with significant experience helping:
Most Montgomery County workers have no idea how much they are actually entitled to under Pennsylvania’s workers’ compensation system until they sit down with an attorney. The system provides more than just a check while you recover.
Every reasonable and necessary medical expense related to your work injury must be covered by your employer’s insurance, with no dollar cap and no time limit as long as the treatment is connected to your injury. This includes emergency care, surgeries, specialist visits, physical therapy, prescription medications, medical equipment, and transportation to appointments. The catch is that for the first 90 days after your injury, your employer controls which doctors you see. Choosing the wrong doctor, one who minimizes your injuries or releases you too early, can devastate your claim. We help our clients navigate this from day one.
Pennsylvania calculates your weekly benefit at roughly two-thirds of your average weekly wage before the injury, subject to a 2024 maximum of $1,325 per week. For workers on the lower end of the wage scale, the percentage can be as high as 90%. These benefits come in several forms depending on how your injury affects your ability to work:
When a Montgomery County worker dies from a work-related injury or occupational disease, their surviving spouse and dependents are entitled to ongoing wage replacement benefits and burial expenses. These cases require careful legal handling and we treat them with the gravity they deserve.
We have seen all of it. We know how to fight back.
Navigating the workers’ compensation system can be complicated. Here’s an overview of the process:
Pennsylvania law gives you 120 days to report a workplace injury, but waiting creates problems. Your employer and their insurer will use any delay as grounds to question whether your injury actually happened at work. Report it the same day if you can, put it in writing, and keep a copy.
After receiving notice of your injury, your employer must file a First Report of Injury with their insurance carrier. The insurer then has 21 days to accept or deny your claim.
Your claim may be:
If your claim is denied or your benefits are terminated, you can file:
These appeals are heard by a Workers’ Compensation Judge, with further appeals possible to the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board and higher courts.
Our office in Feasterville-Trevose sits on the Bucks-Montgomery county border, and we have been representing Montgomery County workers throughout our entire 34-year practice. We know the pharmaceutical corridor, the hospital systems, the retail complex at King of Prussia, and the construction boom pushing through Horsham, Lansdale, and Pottstown. That knowledge informs how we build every case.
We have represented healthcare workers from Montgomery County’s hospital systems, pharmaceutical production workers from the Route 202 corridor, retail workers from the King of Prussia area, and construction workers on job sites across the county. Our case results include a $325,000 recovery for an injured nurse, $235,000 for an emergency room technician, and $220,000 for a home health aide. In each case, the employer and insurer initially tried to minimize or deny the claim entirely.
