Medical Malpractice
Medical Malpractice Attorney in Bethlehem, PA
You trust doctors, nurses, hospitals—they’re supposed to help, not hurt. But sometimes, something goes wrong. A diagnosis is missed. A surgery doesn’t go as planned. A medication error causes a serious reaction. And suddenly, you’re left with more questions than answers, wondering if the people who were supposed to protect your health actually made it worse. If you’re dealing with unexpected injury, worsening symptoms, or even the loss of a loved one due to what you believe was medical negligence, you’re not alone. And you’re not crazy for asking tough questions. At Michael A. Snover ESQ Attorney at Law, we help people throughout Bethlehem and the Lehigh Valley uncover the truth behind medical errors—and fight for justice when health care professionals cross the line. We understand how confusing and intimidating this process can be. You’re up against big hospitals, experienced legal teams, and a system that often protects its own. That’s why we dig deep, fight hard, and treat every case like it matters—because it does.
What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare provider fails to meet the standard of care and that failure causes harm. This isn’t just about bad outcomes—because unfortunately, not every treatment works. But when a doctor, nurse, technician, or hospital staff member makes a preventable mistake, ignores clear warning signs, or deviates from accepted practices—and it results in injury or death—they may be legally responsible. Common types of medical malpractice include: Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis; Surgical errors (wrong-site surgery, retained objects, anesthesia mistakes); Birth injuries (oxygen deprivation, delayed C-sections); Medication errors (wrong drug, wrong dose, allergic reactions); Failure to monitor or respond to complications; Emergency room negligence; Hospital-acquired infections due to poor hygiene; Failure to obtain informed consent. These mistakes aren’t just medical—they’re legal, and they can change lives forever. That’s where we come in.

How Do You Know If You Have a Case?
Here’s the truth: medical malpractice cases are complex. Just because something went wrong doesn’t always mean you have a claim. But if you suspect that a provider’s negligence contributed to the harm you or your loved one experienced, it’s worth having a conversation. We work with experienced medical experts to review your records, evaluate what happened, and determine whether the care you received met accepted standards. If it didn’t, and you were harmed as a result, you may have a strong case. And don’t worry—you don’t need to have all the details figured out. That’s our job. Just tell us your story. We’ll take it from there.

What You Might Be Entitled To
If your case qualifies as malpractice, you could be eligible for compensation that covers: Medical expenses (including ongoing or corrective care); Lost wages or diminished earning capacity; Pain and suffering; Disability or disfigurement; Emotional distress; Loss of companionship (in wrongful death cases). We know this isn’t about chasing money—it’s about restoring what’s been taken, holding people accountable, and making sure you and your family have what you need to move forward. That’s what drives our work every single day.
Why Call Michael A. Snover?
Let’s be real—there are a lot of lawyers out there. Billboards. TV ads. Big promises. But this kind of case? It takes more than flash. It takes focus, compassion, and relentless work. When you choose us: You get personal attention. You’re not a file number. We listen, we return calls, we walk with you. You work with someone local. We know Bethlehem hospitals, networks, and how the system works in the Lehigh Valley. You pay nothing unless we win. No hourly fees. No bills while we investigate. We don’t get paid unless you do.

What to Do If You Suspect Malpractice
First, don’t wait. Pennsylvania has a statute of limitations—usually two years from when the injury occurred or when you reasonably discovered it. But the sooner we start gathering records and speaking with experts, the better. Second, don’t try to go it alone. Hospitals are legally protected, and they’re very good at covering their tracks. Having an experienced medical malpractice attorney levels the playing field. Lastly, don’t stay silent. If something doesn’t feel right, trust that instinct. You have the right to ask questions—and the right to seek justice.

A History of Success
I just signed myself up with attorney Snover and had previously hired a different attorney but wasn’t satisfied with him. I then went to attorney Snover and he took my car accident case and is now helping me with my injury settlement. He is extremely knowledgeable at what he does, takes the time to talk with you and to fully understand your case. I highly recommend this place for your attorney needs.
