A Pennsylvania attorney who frequently represents firefighters and the PA Fire and Emergency Services Institute in workers’ comp and Heart & Lung Act matters, Dryden reviewed the PA Workers’ Compensation Act as it applies to occupational disease claims brought by volunteer firefighters, assisting emergency responders in understanding the protections that Pennsylvania law provides to them.
