    Pennsylvania personal injury law is a deceptively short description that encompasses a vast assortment of injuries ranging from burns to spine injuries, brain injuries and wrongful death. The Philadelphia personal injury attorneys at Cherry Fieger & Marciano, LLP provide clients in Pennsylvania with representation in personal injury claims including slip trip and fall accidents, automotive or trucking accidents, construction side accidents and firearm accidents.

  2. Workers compensation: 40%

    Any worker who has sustained an injury arising out of and in the course of their employment has a potential workers' compensation claim. The injury can occur while traveling on business, doing a work-related errand, attending a required business-related social function, or even while on a break or using restroom facilities and you are still legally covered by workers compensation.

Don't give up. Hire David!

Posted by

Like to thank David & his staff for the great job they did handling my worker's compensation case. I was a union employee injured on the job and my employer fought my case right from the beginning. David stepped in and worked with me and my doctors to fight back. Eventually, we we're able to settle my case I am glad my union recommended David!

Wonderful counsel

Posted by

Dave is incredibly knowledgable and advocates on behalf of his clients as well as anyone with whom I've ever worked. Perhaps even more important, Dave brings a real human touch to what is often the messy work of attorneys. He communicates with empathy and compassion and truly understands the situations in which his clients find themselves. I couldn't recommend a personal attorney more strongly than would Dave Cherry.

Call The Cherry Firm Now

Posted by

I just want to start off by saying thank you. David how you handled my case was phenomenal. From start to finish you never let me down not for one second. From helping prove that I was in fact hurt and my employer and his insurance company played so many games LITERALLY! All in all you made them pay and I got the medical care & the compensation that I am owed. All my medical bills paid everything! I will never walk right again my children are toddlers not knowingly they can still depend on me now and in the future because of you guys. The laws allow insurance companies to deny a claim and not pay at all. You made them pay that roof was steep that's why I told the foreman we should nail in kickers and they did not want any holes in a new roof. And it was their fault the entire time and they lied and lied remember I could not even move hardly and they said In was okay to work light duty. David you are the real deal I am on the cruise I told you about looking out at the sea and I am thinking about everything you did for me and I just wanna say Thanks again! My family and I Love You!
