Workers Compensation Attorney in Freemansburg, PA
Getting hurt at work is more than just a bad day—it can change everything. One minute you’re clocking in like always, doing what you’ve done a hundred times before, and the next, you’re laid out with an injury that throws your whole life off balance. Whether it was a fall on a slick floor, a back injury from lifting something heavy, or a repetitive stress injury that built up over time, the result’s the same: pain, stress, and questions you never thought you’d be asking.
If you’re in that boat right now—hurt, overwhelmed, and unsure what to do next—you’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. Michael A. Snover, ESQ Attorney at Law, has been helping workers in Freemansburg and all over the Lehigh Valley get through the workers’ comp process and get the benefits they’re owed.
The System Is Supposed to Help—But It Doesn’t Always Feel That Way
In theory, Pennsylvania’s workers’ compensation system is supposed to make things simple. If you get injured on the job, your medical care is covered and you get partial wage replacement while you’re out. Seems fair, right? The problem is, in real life, it’s not always that straightforward. Employers and insurance companies sometimes push back. Claims get delayed. Benefits get denied. Or you’re sent to a “company doctor” who seems more interested in clearing you for work than actually helping you heal.
That’s where having a workers’ compensation attorney like Michael Snover comes in. He knows how the system works—and how to make sure it works for you.
Freemansburg’s Working Backbone
Freemansburg might be a small borough, but people here work hard. Whether you’re in construction, health care, transportation, warehousing, food service, or anything in between, you’re doing the work that keeps this area moving. Unfortunately, these jobs also come with risks. And when you get hurt, the bills don’t stop just because your body did.
Michael understands that. He’s not some outsider with a fancy office in a high-rise. He works right here in the Valley, and he’s helped people just like you—warehouse workers, factory employees, delivery drivers, nurses, mechanics—get the support they need when the job leaves them injured.
What Injuries Qualify for Workers’ Comp?
You’d be surprised how many do. It’s not just dramatic falls or big accidents. Pennsylvania law covers a wide range of workplace injuries, including:
- Sprains and strains from lifting or overuse
- Back and neck injuries
- Slip and fall accidents
- Cuts and lacerations from tools or equipment
- Repetitive stress injuries (like carpal tunnel)
- Work-related vehicle accidents
- Burns, chemical exposure, or respiratory conditions
- Psychological injuries caused by workplace trauma (in some cases)
If the injury happened while you were doing your job—or even something as simple as walking to the break room—you might have a case. And even if your claim was already denied, you might still have options.
What Does a Workers’ Comp Attorney Do, Exactly?
That’s a fair question. You might think, “Well, it’s just a claim—I can handle it.” And sure, some people can. But when things go sideways, or when your injury turns out more serious than expected, it’s smart to have someone in your corner. Here’s what Michael does:
- Helps you file your initial claim properly
- Steps in if your claim is denied or delayed
- Ensures you’re seeing appropriate doctors—not just ones chosen by your employer
- Fights for wage loss benefits and coverage of all medical treatment
- Advocates for long-term or permanent disability benefits if needed
- Protects you from retaliation if your employer starts acting shady
In short, he handles the legal stuff so you can focus on getting better.
Don’t Let the Insurance Company Call the Shots
Insurance companies don’t stay profitable by handing out big checks. Their goal is to limit how much they pay—and they’ve got teams of adjusters and lawyers trying to make that happen. They might tell you your injury isn’t “serious enough.” They might say you’re fine to go back to work—even if you’re still in pain. Or they might offer a settlement that sounds okay, but won’t cover your long-term needs.
Michael’s job is to stop that from happening. He knows the tactics insurance companies use, and he knows how to push back. Once he’s on your case, they know they can’t take shortcuts.
What Benefits Can You Receive?
Workers’ comp isn’t just a paycheck—it’s a safety net. If your claim is approved, you could receive:
- Coverage for all reasonable and necessary medical treatment
- Partial wage replacement for time missed from work
- Specific loss benefits for permanent injuries (like losing use of a limb)
- Death benefits for surviving family members
- Vocational rehab or retraining if you can’t go back to your previous job
Michael takes the time to make sure every benefit you’re eligible for is pursued. No corners cut. No details missed.
What If You’ve Already Been Denied?
It’s frustrating, but it’s not the end. A lot of valid claims get denied at first—it’s sadly common. The key is not giving up. Michael can help you file an appeal, present the right medical evidence, and attend hearings with you to make your case. With the right legal help, denials can be overturned and benefits can be won.
No Upfront Costs—Just Honest Help
You’re already dealing with enough stress. Legal bills shouldn’t be one of them. That’s why Michael works on a contingency basis, meaning you don’t pay anything unless he wins your case. No retainers. No surprise fees. Just clear help when you need it most.
Why Choose a Local Attorney?
There are big law firms out there with flashy ads and slick slogans. But do they know Freemansburg? Do they understand the culture, the work, the people? Probably not. Michael lives and works in the same region you do. He understands the local job landscape and the types of injuries that happen here. He’s also familiar with the judges, workers’ comp referees, and hearing offices in the area. That local insight? It matters. And it could make all the difference in your case.
You Deserve to Be Heard
You’ve put in the work. You showed up. You did your job. Now that you’re hurt, it’s your turn to be taken care of—and that starts by speaking up. Whether you’ve already filed or haven’t even reported the injury yet, it’s okay to ask for help. You don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.
