Jerry M. Lehocky

Founding Partner at Pond Lehocky

Jerry M. Lehocky is a founding partner at Pond Lehocky. Mr. Lehocky has been a litigator of workers’ compensation and Social Security since being admitted to practice in 1985. Initially, his practice involved representing employers and insurance companies. In 1991, Mr. Lehocky began representing claimants exclusively in the areas of workers’ compensation and Social Security disability. He is a former chairman of the Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Workers’ Compensation Section (for 12 consecutive years), Mr. Lehocky served as a consultant to several Pennsylvania governors as well as numerous state senators and representatives on workers’ compensation issues. He co-authored “House Bill 2738,” which created the Uninsured Employers Guaranty Fund. This fund provides workers’ compensation benefits to injured workers whose employers do not carry workers’ compensation insurance. The bill was signed into law by Governor Rendell on November 9, 2006, and was the first piece of workers’ compensation legislation in favor of injured workers to become law in over 30 years. Lehocky also obtained one of the highest workers’ compensation settlements in 2020 at $4.4 million.
