Ryan S. Zavodnick, a partner at Zavodnick & Lasky Personal Injury Lawyers in Philadelphia, has been selected for inclusion in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America for his work in Workers' Compensation Law - Claimants. This marks the fourth consecutive year that Zavodnick has earned this distinction, with the recognition first coming in 2024. The results were publicly released on August 20, 2026.

The selection process for Best Lawyers relies entirely on peer review. Attorneys are nominated by others in the field, and those already recognized in the same practice area and region participate in confidential evaluations. There is no fee for nomination or inclusion, and self-nomination is not permitted. This year's edition, the 33rd, includes 81,620 lawyers across 151 practice areas and 203 metropolitan and geographic regions, representing approximately the top 5 percent of practicing attorneys in the United States. According to Best Lawyers, the 2027 edition drew on 3.8 million evaluations from more than 32,000 voting lawyers, making it the most selective edition in the award's history.

Workers' Compensation Law - Claimants is a specialized area that focuses on representing injured workers rather than employers or insurers. In Philadelphia, these cases often involve navigating the state's workers' compensation system, where success can hinge on medical evidence, wage records, and strict deadlines that arise early in the claims process. Zavodnick's practice is dedicated to advocating for injured workers in Pennsylvania, handling workers' compensation claims alongside motor vehicle collisions, slip and fall cases, and product liability matters.

Zavodnick earned his law degree from Temple University Beasley School of Law in 2003 and a bachelor's degree from Pennsylvania State University in 2000. He is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. His firm serves clients in Philadelphia and the surrounding counties.
