Beth A. Bowers

As a Shareholder at Haggerty, Goldberg, Schleifer & Kupersmith, P.C., Beth A. Bowers focuses on handling a wide range of personal injury matters, including those related to workers’ compensation. She gained extensive knowledge about workers’ compensation claims while working as a workers’ compensation defense lawyer and representing insurance companies and employers. Beth regularly appears before the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board, Workers’ Compensation Judges, and the Commonwealth Court. She has also handled workers’ compensation matters throughout New Jersey. In May of 2017, Beth became certified as a specialist in the practice of workers’ compensation law by the Pennsylvania Bar Association Section on Workers’ Compensation Law as authorized by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. While completing her legal studies at Widener University, Beth was awarded the Alexander V. Sarcione, Jr. Memorial Award and the Most Promising Civil Litigator Award. She was also a member of the Moe Levine Trial Advocacy Honor Society and interned for the Chester County District Attorney’s Office and the Delaware County Public Defender’s Office. Before focusing on personal injury law, Beth served as an Assistant District Attorney in the Chester County District Attorney’s Office where she prosecuted accused individuals. She is licensed to practice in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

Beth takes a straightforward approach with her clients and explains how the workers’ compensation system operates, while simultaneously setting realistic expectations about all potential outcomes in their cases. She knows that no two injury claims are ever the same and will make this clear to her clients from the outset of their cases. In a world where there is a lot of supposed “advice” available online, Beth prides herself on dispelling bad information and giving her clients the knowledge and tools to make fully-informed decisions as their cases progress.
