From serious accidents to workplace injustice, we fight for what you’re owed.
Wood Legal is a law firm dedicated to standing up for people when it matters most. We represent individuals who have been seriously injured in accidents caused by the negligence of others, and we advocate for workers facing wage violations and workplace discrimination. We litigate in state and federal courts across eastern Pennsylvania, and we are committed to holding corporations, insurance companies, and employers accountable through aggressive, strategic litigation.
Wood Legal is a plaintiff-side law firm that focuses exclusively on fighting for people who have been wronged or harmed. We never represent employers, corporations, or insurance companies.
We represent employees in cases involving unpaid wages, overtime violations, off-the-clock work, employee misclassification, and more.

We help employees recover unpaid wages and enforce their rights under federal and state wage laws.
When an accident caused by someone else’s negligence turns your life upside down, we fight to help you recover the compensation you deserve.
By uniting workers into class and collective actions, we increase legal pressure on employers and maximize the impact of wage and hour claims.
We handle personal injury claims (e.g., car and truck accidents, slip and fall, product liability, workplace injuries, wrongful death), wage and hour violations (e.g., overtime, off-the-clock work, employee misclassification, travel time, tip theft, minimum wage) – including both individual and class or collective action matters – and employment discrimination matters (e.g., age, disability, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy).
We handle personal injury claims on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and we only get paid if we win or settle your case. Case costs and expenses are reimbursed only out of a recovery, so if there is no recovery, you owe nothing. Most wage and hour matters are handled the same way. For employment discrimination matters, we sometimes require an upfront retainer and charge on an hourly basis, depending on the nature and complexity of the case. We’ll explain all fee options during your initial case evaluation.
Every case is different. If you’ve been injured in an accident, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, other damages caused by the accident, and in cases involving reckless or egregious conduct, punitive damages may also be available. In wage and hour cases, you may be entitled to unpaid wages, overtime, “liquidated” damages (i.e., double damages), and attorneys’ fees. In employment discrimination cases, you may be entitled to lost wages and attorneys’ fees, and in certain discrimination cases, you may also be eligible to recover emotional distress damages and/or punitive damages. We will evaluate your potential recovery during your case review.
