James Helm is the founder of TopDog Law. James grew up playing sports 24/7. Whether it was football, wrestling, or baseball – James has always loved to compete. He’s taken that same competitive nature and applied it to the courtroom fighting for his clients and building TopDog Law from the ground up into the powerhouse law firm it is today.

In a workers’ compensation case, you are the underdog fighting a battle against an insurance provider that puts profit over people. We know what it’s like to be the underdog, and that’s why we want to represent you.
You work hard to do your job, so you deserve compensation if you get hurt, and we will work hard to secure your benefits.
You don’t have to fight the insurance provider for your workers’ compensation benefits alone. TopDog Law specializes in handling workers’ compensation cases and sincerely empathizes with your situation.
The insurance provider has their lawyer representing them, so hiring an attorney evens the playing field and provides you with an advocate who looks after and protects your interests.
Your lawyer will guide you through the legal process as we pursue workers’ compensation benefits for you. In addition, we will answer your questions and provide regular updates on the status of your case.
That’s not all you can expect us to do as we handle your case. In addition to dedicating time and resources to your workers’ compensation case, we will:
Nobody wants to suffer an injury on the job, but workers’ compensation exists for this reason. You receive benefits that cover your losses, and your employer doesn’t have to worry about a lawsuit because the insurance provider covers the damages.
Unfortunately, insurance companies are profit-driven, which means denying your claim is a way for them to save money. But while the insurance company keeps its profits, you can’t pay your bills, and you can’t work either because of your injury. A workers’ compensation lawyer can take on the insurance provider and recover benefits that cover the following:
Your workplace injury entitles you to compensation to cover your losses. You require workers’ compensation benefits to pay your bills and care for yourself and your family until you recover and can return to the job. If the insurance provider denies your claim, our firm will take up the fight on your behalf so you can get the benefits you deserve.
The value of your workers’ compensation benefits will depend on multiple factors, including your average wage amount, the cost of your medical bills, and other expenses you incur due to your injury.
Generally, you should receive at least 2/3rds of the amount you were earning before your injury. It’s also important to report income from other jobs or concurrent employment, which can result in higher benefits.
The insurance provider has 21 days to approve or deny your claim and begin payment of your workers’ compensation benefits under the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act. You should receive a Notice of Compensation Payable, a Notice of Temporary Compensation Payable, or a Notice of Compensation Denial.
Our firm handles workers’ compensation cases. Workers like you deserve benefits if they get hurt on the job. The insurance company should approve your claim, and your employer cannot fire you in retaliation for filing a claim. Your employer also cannot deny your claim because you’re at fault or have a pre-existing condition. If you are struggling to receive your workers’ compensation benefits, we are here to help.
The Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act defines a “work injury” as any injury or illness resulting from your job. The law does not list specific types of injuries or illnesses, but the most common workers’ compensation claims include the following:
You have the right to workers’ compensation benefits if your illness or injury relates to your job. We understand that you work hard to pay the bills and care for your family. Workers’ compensation benefits are meant to take care of you.
Receiving approval for your workers’ compensation claim first requires you to complete this process. Doing so will improve the likelihood of getting benefits, although the insurance provider could still deny your claim. A lawyer from TopDog Law can help.

Going through the process may seem tedious, but it’s necessary so you can receive benefits. Our firm is committed to helping you receive the benefits you need if your employer or the insurance provider denies your claim. If you need help understanding your rights, we are here to help.
Employers must possess workers’ compensation insurance under Pennsylvania law. Workers’ compensation insurance not only provides you with benefits if you suffer an injury or illness on the job, but it also protects employers from direct lawsuits.
Once you report your injury or illness to your employer and you receive medical treatment and the accompanying documentation, the insurance provider should approve your claim and begin making payouts that cover your medical bills, lost income, and other expenses.
You have the right to benefits. You have the right to see your own doctors. You have the right to a hearing if your employer tries to deny or reduce your claim, and you have the right to recover fully before clocking back into work. A workers’ compensation lawyer from TopDog Law can protect your rights.
Your workers’ compensation claim has been denied, so you aren’t receiving benefits. You’re also stuck at home because your illness or injury has to heal before you can return to work. You have bills to pay.
Understandably, you have concerns about hiring an attorney because of the cost. But you don’t have to worry about the cost of hiring a lawyer from our firm to handle your case. TopDog Law works on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay us unless we win your case and you receive workers’ compensation.
It won’t even cost you a single penny for us to evaluate your case because we also offer free consultations. Ask us any questions you have, and we will provide you with answers. In addition, we will cover all of the upfront costs for expenses covering experts to testify in support of your compensation claim.
Your employer has an attorney. The insurance provider has an attorney. But, they shouldn’t be the only ones with access to legal representation. No matter your financial status, you should have access to a lawyer to protect your rights.
Our founder and lead attorney, James Helm, knows what it’s like to be the underdog. After facing years of personal struggles, James turned his life around. Now he puts the compassion and empathy he learned during recovery to fight for you and your family.
Like other compensation claims, you only have so much time to file a lawsuit. In this case, you only have three years from the date of your injury to file a workers’ compensation lawsuit seeking benefits.
If the deadline in your case passes without you filing a lawsuit, you will lose your right to seek compensation through the legal process. Our law firm will work to meet the statute of limitations in your case.
Your case is important to us. We can help you navigate the workers’ compensation process and ensure that you complete the steps in a timely manner. Then you can begin receiving benefits as soon as possible.
An injury or illness can keep you from working either temporarily or permanently. It could take weeks, months, or even years to recover, if at all. You require compensation to cover your losses, but the insurance provider or your employer may not approve your claim.
