Funny Thing at Allentown Workers’ Comp Hearing Office

by Glenn Neiman

Normally, in this blog we give readers the latest workers’ compensation cases from the Pennsylvania Courts, news from the Pennsylvania Bureau of Workers’ Compensation and developments in medical treatment for work injuries. Today, though, is just a cute story.

I was putting on my suit jacket to enter the courtroom at the Allentown Workers’ Compensation Hearing Office the other day, when a jacket from my daughter’s Barbie doll dropped from my suit jacket sleeve onto the floor. There was an awkward silence as we sort of all looked at each other, before bursting into laughter. I then picked up Barbie’s jacket and put it in my pocket for safe keeping (I would be put on the bad list if I lost Barbie’s jacket!).

Times like this remind us to remember the little things in life!
