A. Rerko - Workers Compensation lawyer in Greensburg, California

A. Tereasa Rerko, is a partner at the firm and concentrates her practice in the area of social security disability, exclusively representing disabled claimants.. Practicing law since 1984, Ms. Rerko is a member of the Westmoreland, Pennsylvania and American Bar Associations and the Pennsylvania Association for Justice. She has repeatedly been listed in editions of Who’s Who of American Lawyers.. In 1998, in the case of Fink v. WCAB (Vinal Pride and State Auto Insurance Company), Ms. Rerko convinced the Commonwealth Court, in a workers’ compensation proceeding, that the employer, in order to modify an injured worker’s benefits, must introduce specific evidence that the job offered is within the required geographical distance from the Claimant’s home. Since the employer failed to produce that evidence, the Court found that the job was not "actually available" to the Claimant and denied the employer’s request to reduce our client’s weekly workers’ compensation benefit.. Recently, Attorney Tereasa Rerko was successful in obtaining a Remand of a Social Security Disability case that was appealed to Federal District Court in Pittsburgh. The Court found that the Administrative Law Judge who decided the case did not use the correct standard when evaluating what side effects were caused by the Claimant’s pain medication, and how those side effects impacted the Claimant’s ability to work on a full-time basis. The case will now go back for another hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. The case, Lickenfelt v. Astrue, 2008 WL 2275538 (Western District of Pa.), has been published in the Federal Court Reporter, and in the future will affect other cases with the same issues.. Ms. Rerko was recently involved in the litigation of a long term disability claim in Federal Court, wherein the insurance carrier eventually settled the case just days before going to trial.. Ms. Rerko has been involved with the Girl Scout Council of Westmoreland for more than 17 years, having served two terms as Chair and President of the Board. She has also served as Nominating Committee Chair and Member at Large of the board. As President, she initiated and finalized the Council’s first strategic planning effort, which allowed the Council to direct its future programming and budgets and pursue additional fundraising opportunities for future Girl Scout programs.. Ms. Rerko has also served several terms on the Board of Directors of ParentWise of Westmoreland County.. Ms. Rerko has been a member of the Zonta Club of Westmoreland. Zonta is an invitation only International Women’s Organization, whose mission is service to both the local community as well as the world community. She has also been a member of the Executive Women of Westmoreland. This group is a local affiliate of the National Association of Female Executives. She is a member of the Westmoreland County Commission for Women and Families and a member of the Board of Directors of accessAbilities, Inc.. Ms. Rerko received her B.A. in Political Science cum laude from California University of Pennsylvania in 1979 and her J.D. from Duquesne University School of Law in 1984. She lives in Bullskin Township with her husband, Thomas, daughter Shelby, and son Patrick.

Peter Gough - Workers Compensation lawyer in Greensburg, California

Peter J. Gough is an associate at QuatriniRafferty and concentrates his practice in the area of workers’ compensation, Heart and Lung and Act 534/632 benefits.  He exclusively represents injured workers.  Peter is one of only 149 attorneys who successfully passed the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania certification test, making him a certified specialist of workers’ compensation law.. Born in Brooklyn New York and a graduate of The University of Buffalo, Peter J. Gough came to the Pittsburgh area to achieve his J.D. from Duquesne Law School.  He fell in love with Western Pennsylvania and has been practicing civil litigation and workers’ compensation here since 1990.. Peter has written and lectured on workers’ compensation throughout Pennsylvania for the Pennsylvania Bar Institute and The Pennsylvania Bureau of Workers’ Compensation and was a frequent guest speaker on The Legal Checkup 1480 WCNS AM Radio.  A member of the Pennsylvania Bar Association, Westmoreland Bar Association, Allegheny Bar Association, Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association and American Inns of Court, Peter is admitted to practice before the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania.. Within two years of being admitted to the bar, Peter tackled the then newly developing area of psychological injuries in the work place. He successfully convinced the Commonwealth Court that if a work-related psychological disability is associated with physical injury, the injured worker need only prove the basic requirements of a workers’ compensation claim; that the injury arose out of and was related to the employment. He successfully argued that a heightened burden of proof does not apply, making it easier for workers who sustain injuries such as post traumatic stress disorder to receive their deserved benefits.  Bell v. WCAB (Allegheny County Housing Department), 620 A.2d 589 (1993).. More recently in the case of HCR ManorCare v. WCAB (Bollman), 951 A.2d 1242 (2008) the Commonwealth Court agreed with Peter’s arguments that a medical provider’s failure to provide medical records as part of procedure to determine if the treatment is reasonable and necessary does not necessarily relieve the insurance company from paying the bills.  The Court adapted Peter’s position that the Judge has jurisdiction  to determine if the proper procedures were followed and if not, why they were not.  The Court also agreed that the Judge has the authority to order a whole new procedure.  This important decision saved many injured workers from getting stuck with medical bills caused by their work injuries.. Peter now lives in Penn Township and can frequently be seen hiking the trails of Western Pennsylvania with his beautiful daughter and their dog.  Peter’s other passions include music, running, skiing and mountain biking.
