Exposing the Pitfalls of the “Dabbler” in Third-Party Injury Claims

When a laborer or construction worker suffers a severe injury on a commercial job site, their immediate legal and financial focus typically routes through the state’s workers’ compensation system. Because workers’ comp operates as a strict, no-fault mechanism, it provides rapid relief for medical coverage and partial wage loss. However, a critical legal danger arises when an injured worker retains a general practitioner—contemptuously referred to in the legal profession as a “dabbler”—to manage their file.

In this episode of the Flager Law Personal Injury Hour, host Adam Flager of Flager Law joins forces with workers’ compensation specialist Jenna King of Martin Law to outline why specialized cross-firm collaboration is the only way to expose third-party negligence and prevent insurance carriers from caping a victim’s long-term financial recovery.

The Complex Architecture of Construction Site Injury Claims

Under standard state legislation, an injured employee is strictly prohibited from suing their direct employer for negligence. This statutory immunity creates an incentive for insurance adjusters to contain a catastrophic injury file within the narrow boundaries of a standard workers’ comp claim. Specialized attorneys look beyond the immediate employer to perform immediate third-party issue spotting.

         Civil Liability                    and ListServ Investigations

1. Navigating Premises and Product Liability Maze

Jenna King explains that third-party elements are most frequently missed in premises liability and complex product defects. For example, if a worker slips and falls on a wet commercial floor or a poorly salted walkway, the direct employer may lease the structural space, but a separate property management entity may own the ground.

Similarly, if a heavy industrial asset malfunctions, an outside third-party vendor may be contractually liable for the negligent maintenance of that machine. Failing to launch an immediate corporate business inquiry can cause a plaintiff to miss the strict two-year statute of limitations for filing a civil personal injury action.

2. Defeating the Statutory Employer Shield

In large-scale commercial construction, general contractors frequently attempt to utilize the “statutory employer” defense to claim blanket immunity from civil lawsuits, effectively attempting to force a severely injured subcontractor to collect capped workers’ comp wages exclusively.

Adam Flager illustrates a case where his firm utilized specialized legal listservs to investigate a prominent regional developer. By meticulously auditing complex corporate lease structures, Flager Law successfully threaded the needle, defeated the statutory employer shield, and transformed what would have been a capped $30,000 policy into a seven-figure civil personal injury recovery.

3. Ethical Boundaries and Structural Advocacy

A primary reason a general dabbler damages an injury file is their failure to recognize how active litigation moves can cross-contaminate different benefit structures. King notes that if a workers’ comp attorney aggressively pushes a construction misclassification claim without consulting personal injury counsel, they may secure a quick localized fee for their firm while completely extinguishing the client’s legal right to pursue extensive, non-economic damages like pain and suffering.

The Synergy of Combined Legal Shields

When a board-certified workers’ compensation specialist and an elite personal injury firm coordinate their litigation strategies, the client receives a dual layer of financial protection.

Immediate Stability vs. Long-Term Recovery

While a personal injury lawsuit requires extensive time—frequently two to three years of intense hand-to-hand litigation—to reach a final trial verdict or maximum settlement, the workers’ comp system provides immediate structural stability. It covers immediate medical bill tracking and delivers non-taxable weekly wage loss checks, keeping the family secure while personal injury counsel builds the civil negligence case.

Data Sharing and Cost Reduction

This collaborative model creates instant operational efficiency. The workers’ comp firm gathers real-time medical charts, diagnostic imagery, and employer notice logs, which are instantly transferred to the personal injury team. This direct channel accelerates personal injury file preparation and saves the client thousands of dollars in duplicate medical record duplication fees.

Transcript: Flager Law Personal Injury Hour | 04-08-26

Speaker 1 (Intro): I’ll be here to hear what’s on your mind. Kids want to share what’s going on in their lives with the adults around them—parents, grandparents, teachers, coaches, and more. They want to know you’re listening, and they want to listen to you. They want your input and guidance early and often on all kinds of topics. When it comes to a serious subject like underage drinking, they want to know your expectations, as well as how and why, as a young person, they should avoid alcohol. How you talk about it will change as your child grows, but the important thing is to talk about it—not just once for an hour when you think the time is right, but in 60-second conversations and more that are part of your everyday talks. For more information about talking with your kids about underage use of alcohol and other drugs, visit underagedrinking.samhsa.gov.

Joe Dougherty: All right, ladies and gentlemen around the Delaware Valley. Welcome to the Flager Law Personal Injury Hour here on WWDB Talk 860. We’ve got an awesome show. Adam Flager, our host, is in the house. What’s up, Adam?

Adam Flager: Hey, how are you?

Joe Dougherty: We got some sunshine outside. Not warm, but we got some sunshine—exactly halfway there.

Adam Flager: There is allowed to talk about there, because this morning I wake up, and with my wife, it’s like 60 degrees in the house, right. And then, of course, I’m like freezing. I’m trying to hold back on turning the heat on, so I turn it up. She comes right down. Now, by the time she comes down, it’s already warm, and I’m taking the heat, right? I’m like, wait a second, it was freezing here in this place.

Joe Dougherty: But having said that, we have Jenna King of Martin Law in the house. How are you, Jenna?

Jenna King: I’m doing great, thanks for having me. I’m excited to be here, and I love the sun. I don’t care if it’s cold out, as long as it’s sunny.

Joe Dougherty: What’s funny about that is, I have my sweater on; it’s like 42 degrees out. I come in here, and they got the heat up, so that’s cool. But you brought the warmth into the house today, so we appreciate you being here. Having said that, Adam, if you will, remind our listeners a little bit about yourself and the firm.

Adam Flager: Sure. So, Adam Flager, Flager Law. We are a personal injury firm in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, handling all types of personal injury matters. Anything from car accidents—and all types of car accidents, including trucks, pedestrians, and bicycles—to slip and falls or other premises liability, dangerous products, and dog bites. All those horrible things that happen to you that result in injuries, where you need someone to have your back—that’s what we do.

Joe Dougherty: Awesome. And Jenna, if you will, a little bit about yourself and the firm.

Jenna King: Sure. So, I represent injured workers in workers’ compensation matters. I’m a specialist in Pennsylvania workers’ compensation, as certified by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Martin Law has been in existence since 1979 representing injured workers, started by George Martin, who is a legend in Pennsylvania workers’ compensation. We also do long-term disability, veterans’ benefits, as well as Social Security Disability. So, we have a little bit of a larger practice than just workers’ compensation, but we specialize in representing injured workers.

Joe Dougherty: So, if you get hurt on the job, no matter whose fault it is, right, you’re entitled. Workers’ comp is no-fault, correct? George Martin—that name sells me. George is a member of our Legends of Justice Hall of Fame, and we go way back with George. He is a legend, to say the least, and also the godfather of Pennsylvania workers’ compensation. If you send George an email, it doesn’t take long to figure out he’s also one of the great environmentalists in our country. So, let’s talk about your pathway to where you are today. Where did you start? I say that because a lot of personal injury and workers’ comp attorneys cut their chops on the defense side, learn the business, and understand it completely. Then that benefits their clients, obviously. Talk about that pathway and what it brings to the table for your clients.

Jenna King: Sure, so I’ll try to make this preamble as short as possible.

Joe Dougherty: I’d like you to start in first grade, if you can.

Jenna King: How could you skip kindergarten? That’s like the best grade.

Joe Dougherty: I thought you peaked in kindergarten. I peaked in first grade at St. John’s—highest general average. Then I went to St. Bridget’s.

Jenna King: I was a public school girl, grew up in West Chester. I come from a blue-collar family, and I was a first-generation college student. I fell into criminal justice because I wanted to go into forensics, and Widener University dropped the program and stuck me in criminal justice. I fell in love with my law classes, went to my parents, and they were like, “Why, are you gonna be a cop ?” I was like, “Absolutely not .” I told them I thought I was going to law school, and they were shocked. I ended up taking the LSAT, applied to area schools, and was accepted to Widener Law School with a full scholarship.

Then I decided I wasn’t ready yet, so I took a year off and did a year of service with AmeriCorps, working with the City Year Corps. I worked with at-risk youth as a behavior coach and math coach at South Philadelphia High School, then went to law school, and interned at the Chester County District Attorney’s office.

Joe Dougherty: Wow, I thought you wanted to go into criminal law. That’s the pathway a lot of law students take who want to be in court right away. You go to the public defender’s or the DA’s office—that’s a pretty standard timeline.

Jenna King: So I was interning at the DA’s office and got a job offer from a defense attorney who had a solo practice. He was expanding, but I never worked a day for him. Thank goodness, I believe he’s no longer practicing, is disbarred, and is in prison. No names will be mentioned, but this is the thing: I mention the blue-collar background because it informs my practice in so many different ways with the clients I work with.

I had no idea what I was doing in law school regarding the connections you have to make, where to go, and who to talk to. I just took the job. I spoke to people at the DA’s office, and they said he was reasonably easy to work with. I took the bar exam, showed up for my first day of work, and there was no office. The doors were locked. I texted him, and he was like, “Oh, I’m sorry, I have a family emergency, I’ll catch up with you next week .” I never heard from him again.

Joe Dougherty: The doors were locked? You went on Google to check the address, right? “Didn’t I interview here?”

Jenna King: Exactly. So I called my intern supervisor at the DA’s office and asked what the heck was going on. He told me I needed to apply to every temp agency immediately and just get to work. So I did document review until I got my bar results. Then a friend of mine, who I went to school with and interned with at the DA’s office, had gotten a job doing workers’ compensation defense, and she told me to apply. At that point, I just needed someone to hire me.

Joe Dougherty: We’ve been doing this broadcast for about 10 years, and at least 50% to 70% of the best attorneys take that exact pathway. When you’re 25 or 26 years old, it’s probably hard to represent a plaintiff right away in personal injury, so that defense experience has to be priceless. You learn your chops, you learn how the system works, and jumping right into the deep end of the pool is all great experience.

Jenna King: It is a pathway that is popular. Truly, I had no idea what workers’ compensation even was. I emailed my resume right away, interviewed the next week, and accepted the job on the spot, telling them I could start immediately. Right now in workers’ compensation, we are really trying to attract younger attorneys and expose law students to the system. Where the practice misses the mark with that demographic is we don’t market that this is the civil side of getting into court right away. You don’t have to go to the DA’s office or public defender’s to get courtroom experience; you can do civil work and get into court right away doing comp.

I practiced defense work with Carpenter, McCadden & Lane for four years, and I have nothing but amazing things to say. They’ve trained so many great practitioners in workers’ comp, and a lot of them are on the bench now. I got such great experience dealing with adjusters, seeing claims from the moment they are reported all the way through litigation. I learned what goes on in the background, why medical bills are being denied, and how to handle it. Sometimes adjusters just do what they want to do, no matter what defense counsel recommends, just like we see now on the injured worker side.

But the blue-collar background itch got to me around two and a half or three years in. My colleague, Amit Shah, gave me a call out of the blue.

Joe Dougherty: Now, that name sounds familiar.

Jenna King: He asked me if I had ever considered changing sides. I hadn’t thought about it at all, but I hadn’t said no. Then I realized my dad was a union carpenter, and workers’ rights really connected with that background.

Joe Dougherty: I do labor and energy radio, and I have Bill Sproule, who’s the head of the Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters, on the show a lot. We do all the union stuff.

Jenna King: So it made sense. I went from just needing a job and wanting to be in court to really thinking about where I wanted to take my career. After four years of doing defense work, I ended up at Martin Law, and I’ve been there for over six years now. I’m just so grateful and enjoy going to work every day.

Joe Dougherty: I think I know what really happened with Amit. He was sick and tired of you beating his butt in court, so he threw in the towel and decided to hire you instead. “If you can’t beat them, join them.”

Jenna King: He’s one of the members of our firm’s executive committee now, running the firm and acting as the big boss man. I am currently the chair of the Pennsylvania Bar Association’s Workers’ Compensation Law Section, and Amit is my secretary at the moment, so I like to get that little dig in, but he’ll be the chair in a couple of years. He’s the best. I work for six male partners, and I have fantastic relationships with all of them. I go to work each day knowing they are in my corner and that I can ask any question without judgment.

Joe Dougherty: That is awesome. Adam, your story is very interesting as well, because Flager Law is a family-owned firm, but instead of going straight into the family business, you made a left turn, went in a different direction first, and then came to the firm later. Talk about that.

Adam Flager: Sure. After law school, I graduated during the financial crisis, which was a tough time to enter the workforce because there were no jobs. Large firms that would normally hire grads from Penn and NYU were rescinding offers, and those graduates were competing for the same jobs I was targeting.

Thankfully, I ended up doing a two-year clerkship in motions court in Philadelphia, which was wonderful. In most clerkships, you work for one judge and handle only their docket. In motions court, there were two judges and three clerks pooled between them, so we were the pool clerks for whoever was in that program at the time. You see an incredible volume of cases that you would never see working for a single judge or even in private practice. A private attorney might handle a specific type of motion a few times a year; I was seeing four, five, or six of them a week, sometimes several a day. It was an incredible opportunity to get experience and see emergency motions—urgent matters like someone facing immediate eviction that couldn’t wait for the standard court timeline. I got to see the courtroom side of things, and as any attorney can attest, you learn a lot about what to do and, more importantly, what not to do.

After that, I worked for a solo practitioner in Chestnut Hill for a bit before joining a midsize firm in Center City for about three and a half years. Finally, my dad convinced me to join the firm in the burbs. By the time I did that, which was about 10 years ago in 2016, I had already been practicing for six or seven years and gaining outside experience. I brought that experience with me, and it worked out much better because I was a lot more mature when I finally joined.

Joe Dougherty: I talked to Randall, and he said he offered you $3 million to join, but you turned it down because it wasn’t enough. It started a big family scandal, and you renegotiated for a longer contract with more guaranteed money and injury protection. It was a seven-year negotiation.

Adam Flager: Listen, if the deal isn’t right, the deal isn’t right. No, but it was good. Sometimes it can be tough working with family, and for a lot of families, it doesn’t work out. But my dad is the type of guy everyone likes working for, which is why we have very low turnover. One of our paralegals left recently because she wanted to go to nursing school—that was her true calling. My dad actually helped her negotiate her first contract with her future nursing employer to make sure she was on good footing. She still comes to our holiday parties, and if we have a weird medical issue in a case, we can call her up for insight before engaging an expert. People just don’t like to leave because we have a great environment.

Joe Dougherty: Security and a quality work environment are so important. We ran a hospitality business for 15 years, and we had a lot of the same employees from day one to year 15. It’s a great feeling when your team takes positive ownership and truly cares about the place and its reputation. You know you’re in a solid place.

It reminds me of a football coach’s daughter I met at a funeral a few years ago. She is an attorney in a very obscure area of law—she represents the art industry in Rome. I asked her how she got into that, and it was through an internship right when she graduated. That’s how people find their path or at least learn what they don’t want to do.

A lot of firm owners tell me that if you want to find great trial talent, you look at the DA’s office or the public defender’s office, because nobody is playing video games in those offices; everyone is working their butts off. Those are transferable skills. You can be taught the specific area of law, but having the ability to think on your feet in front of a judge and be a fierce advocate transcends the specific case.

Adam Flager: We actually just hired an attorney earlier this year who was in the DA’s office for 12 years. We need to teach him our specific areas of law, but he already knows how to pick up a file, find information, and cross-examine a witness.

Joe Dougherty: I did a show with two civil personal injury attorneys who came from the public sector, and they admitted right on the air that they left the DA’s office because they were making $52,000 a year and couldn’t pay their student loans. Once they got into civil justice and realized the massive impact they could make for people who can’t represent themselves, it took things to a whole new level.

There are so many different areas of personal injury, like civil sexual assault, which is a highly emotional area. It’s about securing total justice. While the criminal side puts the perpetrator in jail, the civil side is vital for helping a survivor rebuild their shattered life. We should be paying our district attorneys more money for the work they do putting bad guys away, but the civil side provides a different kind of critical protection.

Jenna, you mentioned being certified in workers’ compensation. It’s a very specialized area, and for the listener, you don’t want a “dabbler” handling your case. If you get injured, you don’t just call a cousin who handles wills and estates on the corner, because the rest of your life is impacted. Talk about the history of this specialization.

Jenna King: Before George Martin decided you could focus exclusively on workers’ compensation, it was mostly personal injury attorneys handling comp on the side and trying to figure it out. But after the 1993 and 1996 amendments to the Act, it became incredibly specialized. There are so many ins and outs regarding the regulations, the specific forms, the strict filing deadlines, and the rules. It is so specialized that around 2012, the Pennsylvania Bar Association’s Workers’ Compensation Section established this Supreme Court certification program to distinguish practitioners and let the public know who is truly qualified. You cannot just pass this off to a general practitioner.

Adam Flager: In personal injury, we don’t have that formal board certification program in Pennsylvania, but the Wild West reality is the same—dabblers do a massive disservice to their clients. If an attorney doesn’t handle personal injury all day, every day, they don’t know the nuances that break a case or maximize its value.

Insurance companies track attorney tracks. They know which firms refuse to litigate or take a case to trial. There are firms that will only take a file if they can settle it quickly before filing a lawsuit, and if they can’t, they farm it out. The insurance company will lowball them because they know the attorney wants a quick payout and won’t push back. A claim might be worth $50,000, but the dabbler takes $35,000 because they want to avoid a fight. That is a breach of duty to the client.

Joe Dougherty: You’re listening to the Flager Law Personal Injury Hour on WWDB Talk 860 with Adam Flager and Jenna King of Martin Law. Shout out to our producers, Sam and TJ.

I had a medical malpractice attorney tell me he tried to dabble in workers’ comp for two weeks and ran away because it was too complicated. Medical malpractice is the same way—highly specialized.

Adam Flager: When my dad was a young attorney, a criminal defense matter landed on his desk before he opened his own firm. He lucked into an amazing result, but he realized it was pure luck, not skill. He said, “I have someone’s freedom in my hands, and if I make a mistake, they get locked up. I am never touching criminal law again.”

In med-mal, you can easily spend $100,000 to $200,000 in expert costs before you ever step into a courtroom. That’s why minor medical mistakes go unchecked; to justify two to three years of hand-to-hand litigation and six-figure costs, you need catastrophic, seven-figure damages. A case that Jenna or I handle that is worth $250,000 is a viable personal injury or comp claim, but in medical malpractice, it’s completely unfeasible because the costs wipe out the recovery. It’s an unfair system, but it’s the one we have.

Joe Dougherty: It’s about vetting cases properly from day one so there is actually something left for the client at the end. Jenna, you mentioned that a specialized attorney must be highly mindful of the ethical boundaries when workers’ comp, personal injury, and employment law overlap.

Jenna King: Absolutely. There is massive overlap. Clients frequently ask me about their options because their employer terminated them after an injury. I immediately give them a clear disclaimer: I am a workers’ compensation specialist. I can advise you strictly on how a termination affects your workers’ comp benefits, but for the employment law or third-party negligence side, I have to refer you to a specialist like Adam. I cannot give legal advice outside my wheelhouse.

Adam Flager: It goes both ways. A client reached out to us today regarding a vehicle payment fraud issue, and I immediately referred them to a consumer protection specialist. I know a baseline about comp because I have to for third-party files, but when a client starts asking about deep technical concepts like “supplemental agreements,” I tell them they need to talk to their comp attorney. I don’t want to give them the wrong information, and I don’t want a comp lawyer giving wrong advice on a third-party personal injury claim.

Joe Dougherty: Let’s dive deep into third-party cases. When an employee is injured on the job, workers’ comp is a no-fault system, but they cannot sue their employer for negligence. However, if the injury was caused by a third party—someone separate from the employer—they can file a personal injury lawsuit in addition to their comp claim. If they go to a bad attorney who doesn’t spot that third-party element, they lose out on pain and suffering entirely. Jenna, what are you looking for during intake?

Jenna King: It is a standard question on our intake sheet: Is there a potential third party? Motor vehicle collisions while driving for work or clear construction site accidents automatically ring bells regarding subcontractors or general contractors. But the areas where third-party elements are missed most frequently are premises liability and product liability.

If a worker slips and falls on ice outside the office, the employer might lease the space, but a separate property management company might own the sidewalk. If a machine malfunctions and crushes a worker’s hand, did the employer maintain it, or was a third-party vendor contracted to service that equipment? We have to launch an immediate business inquiry and corporate structure review because personal injury claims have a strict two-year statute of limitations in Pennsylvania, and we have to secure that third-party counsel immediately.

Adam Flager: Premises liability cases are an absolute maze. Company A owns the building, Company B leases it and employs the worker, Company C is contracted for snow removal, and Company D is the subcontractor who actually skipped salting the walkway that morning. Or a cleaning crew from an outside vendor leaves a floor wet without a warning sign.

Jenna mentioned the “statutory employer” defense under the Workers’ Compensation Act, which can grant immunity from lawsuits to certain general contractors. I handled a major construction case where I utilized an online listserv for personal injury attorneys to review how others dealt with a specific developer. The defense wanted to be classified as a statutory employer to limit their exposure to basic workers’ comp benefits. We were able to thread the needle, defeat that defense, and turn what looked like a capped $30,000 policy issue into a seven-figure personal injury settlement for our client.

Jenna King: That is why you need a comp lawyer who puts the client first. If I fight a construction misclassification issue and get a worker deemed an official employee, I secure a comp fee for my firm, but I completely destroy their ability to sue for pain and suffering. At Martin Law, we evaluate the financial viability holistic view; if filing a comp claim actively harms a client’s third-party personal injury trajectory, we talk about that immediately.

Joe Dougherty: Worker misclassification is a massive issue, especially in construction. Employers try to label guys as independent subcontractors when they are clearly employees, just to skirt safety regulations and insurance costs.

But when a valid workers’ comp claim and a personal injury claim run hand-in-hand, it provides a massive safety net for the family. Talk about how those two components support each other.

Adam Flager: The beauty of workers’ comp is speed; an injured worker can get wage loss benefits and medical bills covered much faster than a personal injury lawsuit can resolve. A serious personal injury case can take two to three years of intense litigation to settle or reach a verdict. Comp benefits keep the lights on, put food on the table, and protect the family from financial ruin while the civil lawsuit plays out.

Additionally, the comp firm gathers all the medical records during treatment, which they share with us. That creates incredible synergy, saves the client money on duplicate record costs, and speeds up our file preparation.

Joe Dougherty: Nobody wants to be hurt. As a union iron worker out of Local 401—and my dad was the business manager for 40 years—I know union guys will try to “suck it up” after a Friday injury, stay home over the weekend, and hobble in on Monday because they fear losing a steady paycheck. You don’t get a trophy for sucking it up, and it completely messes up your claim notice history.

But it has to be terrifying for an unrepresented worker who gets hurt and is immediately hit with worker misclassification, where the employer lies and says they are an independent contractor. Jenna, that first meeting with a client requires massive trust and education.

Jenna King: New clients meet with our intake department first so I can review the foundational facts before our deep-dive meeting. When union guys walk in, they are sometimes skeptical of a younger female attorney. But because of my background, some people call me the “blue-collar whisperer”—I speak the language, understand the trades, and that immediately builds a solid bond of trust.

I review everything: where they treated, do they have records, when and to whom they provided notice, and whether it was in writing. I evaluate the third-party components immediately. Then I explain how specialized this process is and walk them through our contingency fee agreement. I tell them clearly, “You are never going to cut me a check .” We only receive a standard 20% fee if we go to court and secure a benefit they weren’t already receiving. I have countless files that I monitor for years as medical-only claims where our firm never collects a single dime in fees, because our mission is to protect people who need help. We manage high volume, but we never compromise on quality communication. We coordinate with Adam regarding subrogation liens to protect the client’s net recovery during settlements.

Joe Dougherty: That hand-holding and constant coaching is priceless because an insurance company will purposefully delay a check by a few days just to stress a worker out.

Jenna King: It requires deep empathy. A delayed check can mean a family faces immediate eviction or homelessness. We treat them like human beings, not just another email, and fight to ensure their checks arrive on time.

Joe Dougherty: And Adam, a personal injury case takes a long time, and you have to warn clients about insurance traps—like avoiding dancing at a family wedding because a defense investigator is hiding in the bushes taking video to claim they are faking it.

Adam Flager: It’s about demystifying a scary, complex legal process early on. The two most frequent questions clients ask are, “How long is this going to take?” and “What is my case worth?”. The answer depends entirely on their medical treatment trajectory. Is it a soft-tissue injury that resolves with four months of therapy, or do they have a herniated disc requiring injections and extensive spinal surgery? We provide them with clear, realistic factors so they can focus on healing while we manage the legal burden.

Joe Dougherty: This has been the fastest hour in radio. Jenna, give us your contact details.
