Jeffrey A. Pribanic
Jeffrey A. Pribanic is an experienced Pittsburgh work injury attorney who routinely tries cases to verdict. Jeff primarily focuses his practice on workers’ compensation claims, workplace injuries, and personal injury matters. He has worked for over twenty years on a wide array of personal injury cases, including automobile and motorcycle crashes, workplace falls, and premises liability.
Many of Jeff’s workers’ compensation cases have resulted in additional litigation involving the negligence of third parties, including medical malpractice. These third-party liability claims often involve workers’ compensation liens—sometimes substantial wage and medical liens—that must be resolved at the time of settlement or verdict. Jeff’s broad experience enables him to identify when such claims are appropriate and manage them effectively.
