Personal Injury & Employment Discrimination

A serious personal injury or job discrimination as a result of a hostile workplace is a traumatic experience. Unfortunately, such an experience is often aggravated when the victim seeks legal representation from a large impersonal personal injury firm and is shunted from one associate lawyer to another.

John Hagarty and Debra Valenti-Epstein offer an alternative. As a two person firm focusing their practice in selective areas, John and Debra offer the time, expertise, experience, and type of personalized representation which a serious injured person or a person who has suffered employment discrimination deserves.

Their practice covers the following areas:

• Work Place Injuries
• Automobile Injuries
• Medical Malpractice and Nursing Home Injuries
• Workers Compensation Claims
• Social Security Claims
• Employment Discrimination Claims based upon Race, Gender, Disability, Sexual Orientation, Religion, or National Origin
• Premises Liability

Some examples of the diversity of their practice are:

• Successful representation of liquor store clerk whose psychiatric claim for workers compensation as a result of a robbery was challenged by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
• Substantial settlement of a wrongful death claim for bicyclist killed by an automobile on a darkened country road
• Substantial settlement for an elderly gentlemen who slipped on an icy sidewalk and broke his hip
