Biography
With nearly thirty years of experience in the field of personal injury law, Dan handles catastrophic injury cases on behalf of accident victims, often on behalf of people injured at work. Dan regularly tries these cases to verdict. In fact, Dan had the highest verdict in Pennsylvania for a client injured in the workplace in 2016 and 2019, and the ninth highest verdict in 2023. (Source: ). Following one successful jury trial in Philadelphia, the jury foreman blogged:
"I was selected on a Jury on Monday and now that the case is over I can talk about it... I was the foreman so I stood up and read the verdict! So exciting! Here is the Lawyer that kicked ass... Daniel L. Hessel, Esquire was the best I have seen... so well-organized and very quick and sharp! If you need to sue someone... use these guys!"
Many of Dan’s cases have been featured in journals such as The Legal Intelligencer, The Pittsburgh Post Gazette, Yahoo! Biz, New Jersey Verdict Reporter, Pennsylvania Damages, North Carolina Verdict Reporter, Pennsylvania Verdict Reporter and the Florida Verdict Reporter. Dan has spoken on issues related to tort law on more than 30 occasions in venues across the country. Dan has been recognized as a Pennsylvania “Super Lawyer” for twelve consecutive years, an honor limited to 5% of practicing lawyers.
