Attorney John Bednarz only represents injured workers and has been handling workers' compensation cases for over 45 years by attending hearings before Workers' Compensation Judges and presenting oral arguments before the Workers' Compensation Appeal Board and the Commonweath Court.

     He was the 2011 recipient of the George F. Douglas Amicus Curiae Award, which was created in 1995 in recognition of outstanding and industrious appellate advocacy. Attorney Bednarz was an active member of the Amicus Curiae Committee of the Pennsylvania Association for Justice for over 20 years and also served as Chair of the Amicus Committee from 2003 to 2005. As a brief writer on numerous cases that have impacted Pennsylvania's injured workers and victims, he served as the gatekeeper for the Amicus Committee in determining and making recommendations as to whether or not a case presented a legal issue significant enough to warrant the Association's formal input in the appellate courts. 

He has written briefs covering a broad spectrum of the law, including the case of of Hutchison v. Luddy (Pa. 1999), in which the Pennsylvania Supreme Court decided in favor of a young man who had suffered harm as a result of the actions of a priest, and the negligent actions of the Bishop and Diocese under which the priest served, finding that the Bishop and the Diocese had a duty to exercise reasonable careto control the priest, even if he was acting outside of the scope of his priestly duties in order to prevent him from harming others, since no matter where his actions took place, he was always acting as a priest. Furthermore, the Court held that since the Bishop and Diocese knew of the priest's propensity for this kind of behavior, they had a duty to take whatever measures were necessary to prevent the priest from harming any more children and found the inactions of the Bishop and Diocese to be not only negligent, but also reckless and abhorrent.
