When I found myself in a hard spot this firm truly helped me get back on a path to success. Workers face financial insecurity from the very moment they're injured, but it gets worse from there. Often, workplace injury victims find themselves struggling to get employers, workers compensation insurers, and workers comp officials to cooperate and uphold their end of the workers compensation bargain.
They claim your injury doesn't qualify or there's some other false reason why you don't deserve the work comp benefits promised to you under the law. They wrongfully deny your work comp claim. The Virginia workers compensation process is complicated. You can lose your case on a simple technicality, but you may also face resistance from insurers and employers.

PATHFINDER INJURY LAW is a worker's compensation law firm nestled in the outskirts of Richmond, Virginia, exclusively representing people who get injured in their workplaces. By focusing on one area of legal practice, we've become intimately familiar with this niche and complex area of law. Our practice is made up of professionals with many years of industry experience, coming together to establish a family-owned firm.
Even jobs that sound safe in theory can turn dangerous in an instant. If you're a factory worker, you know you face all kinds of workplace dangers, but a slip-and-fall accident at the office can still leave you with serious injuries. You may be unable to work because of your injuries, and that leaves you and your family in need.
After a work accident, your workers comp benefits are a lifeline. You need them for your recovery while you're unable to work, take care of yourself, and cover the costs of your family's needs. But that doesn't mean your employer's insurance company is willing to help. Many Virginia workers are denied workers comp benefits before they receive them, and many workers don't seek out the benefits they need after a denial.
Construction sites can be a dangerous place to work, but you know what to expect when you're there. You may have been as careful as possible, too, until the accident happened. Now, you're hurt, and to top it off, your family is suffering for it. You may have been the breadwinner of the household, and now, you may be unable to take care of yourself and those you love without help.
When you're hurt at your job in a Virginia factory, the results can change your life. Amputations, paralysis, and other severe injuries can have permanent effects, making it tough to recover from your injuries. You're not just overwhelmed, either-you don't have the tools you need for a successful workers comp claim.

When I found myself in a hard spot this firm truly helped me get back on a path to success. Other attorneys that I have used before have always felt cold and it seemed all they wanted was my money but Pathfinder was completely different. They were able to keep a very professional relationship throughout the process but at the same time I felt as if they wanted what was best for me just like a close friend. The first time I met with Pathfinder I was nervous about moving forward. My excuse was that maybe things would just get better on there own if I gave it more time. I remember Bryn looking at

I have known Bryn for a number of years on a professional level. He is extremely hard-working and has a real commitment to his clients. Bryn was very successful in settling his cases and getting his clients settlements that were well-above what the defense attorneys expected to settle them for. Bryn is an extremely bright attorney. If I needed a workers' compensation attorney, I would certainly hire him to represent me. Bryn will get you a fair and equitable settlement.

I have had nothing short of a awesome experience with Bryan and Mandy working with me on my worker's Compensation case. They care about you, the client, as a person who needs their help and honesty. You're always kept up to date on whatever changes are happening with your case. Mr. Swartz is always available if you have a question/question. You're never kept in the blind about anything. I will always refer Pathfinders injury law to anyone that can benefit from these awesome individuals. I wish you, Mandy and your family blessings overflowing. Happy holidays!

If you want a straight-talking attorney, no bluster or sides-stepping, you want Bryn Swartz. Having worked with Bryn I can tell you that he provides his clients with clear and comprehensive information about their cases. To ensure that his clients understand the dynamics of their cases, Bryn explains the process so there will be no surprises. Having been a workers’ compensation claimant in the past, I made the mistake of representing myself-never again. Should I ever have that misfortune in the future, I would not hesitate to call Bryn. His knowledge of the law, and of people, is enriched by

I've known Bryn for several years. In the past, we worked together representing workers' compensation claimants. His knowledge and application of the law are excellent, and he's very devoted to gaining the best result possible for his clients. I congratulate him on his new law firm. Given the coupling of his talents with those of his wife and able assistant, Mandy Truman (who will soon embark on the journey to become a lawyer), I'm confident that Pathfinder Law's future is bright.
