Workers’ Compensation Attorney in Wellsboro, PA

A Trusted Advocate for Injured Workers Since 2011

Paula Robinson has spent more than 35 years in workers’ compensation law, including 15+ years representing injured workers and their families. She founded Robinson Law LLC in 2011 and personally handles every case. When you call, you reach Paula directly, not a paralegal or case manager. That kind of direct access to your Wellsboro workers' compensation attorney is rare, and it makes a real difference when your livelihood is on the line.

Paula is certified as a specialist in the practice of workers’ compensation law by the Pennsylvania Bar Association’s Section on Workers’ Compensation Law as authorized by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. This distinction, along with the personal attention and one-on-one service she provides to every client and case, sets her apart from other workers' compensation lawyers in the area.

What Makes Robinson Law LLC Different From Other Firms?

Workers’ compensation is the only area of law Paula practices. No personal injury; no family law. No divided attention. Every negotiation tactic, every procedural decision, and every insight she brings to a case comes from a career built entirely within Pennsylvania workers’ compensation law. That focus is difficult to match at a general-practice firm.

What gives Paula an edge is her time representing both sides of the table. Before focusing exclusively on injured workers, she represented employers and insurance companies. She knows how insurers build their defense strategies, what arguments they rely on, and where those arguments fall apart. She uses that knowledge on your behalf when insurance companies push back on a valid claim.

Since opening in 2011, Robinson Law LLC has recovered millions of dollars for clients across Pennsylvania. Paula holds a 10/10 Avvo score backed by more than 200 client reviews and has earned the Avvo Clients’ Choice Award three consecutive years: 2023, 2024, and 2025. The firm has also been selected for inclusion in the Super Lawyers list, is recognized by Expertise, and carries BBB accreditation. Services are available in both English and Spanish (se habla español).

When a workplace injury also gives rise to a personal injury claim—a situation that comes up regularly in industries like natural gas, manufacturing, and transportation work common throughout Tioga County—Paula coordinates directly with experienced personal injury attorneys to manage both cases simultaneously. The two claims are legally intertwined, and having attorneys working in tandem can help protect your interests across both. 

Common Challenges in Wellsboro Workers’ Compensation Cases

While the workers’ compensation system is designed to protect workers, it’s not without its challenges and flaws. Below are some common issues you might face and how Paula Robinson can help.

Denied Claims

Insurance companies sometimes deny valid claims, citing lack of evidence or disputing whether an injury is work-related. Because Paula spent part of her career on the defense side, she knows which arguments insurers lean on and how to counter them. She’ll identify what documentation strengthens your case and build the record needed to challenge a denial or file an appeal.

Insufficient Benefits

Benefits that don’t fully cover your losses are a real problem. Paula negotiates for full workers’ compensation benefits, including medical bills, specialist visits, diagnostic testing, prescriptions, physical therapy, and surgery costs, rather than simply accepting the insurer’s initial offer. Wage loss benefits under the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act deserve the same scrutiny as medical coverage.

Pressure to Return to Work Too Soon

Employers and insurers sometimes push workers back to the job before they haven’t truly recovered. Paula’s position is clear: you may be entitled to complete your medical treatment and receive appropriate workplace accommodations before returning. She advocates for that standard without compromise.

Complex Cases

Occupational disease claims, mental health conditions, and injuries involving third-party liability require a level of depth that comes from working exclusively in this area of law. Paula’s workers’ compensation focus means she’s handled cases like these throughout her career. They aren’t the exception; they’re part of the practice.
