          | Bethlehem, Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation AttorneyIn the legal world, there is no better teacher than experience, and no more accurate measure of skill and success than a long list of satisfied clients.
• Proud to be in Pennsylvania I'm a native of this area, born and raised in Pennsylvania, and I attended the University of Scranton before law school. I remember when the Lehigh Valley and much of the state used to be pretty industrialized- producing steel, coal, and other products that kept America running strong. We were and are hard-working, proud, but on-the-job injuries and work-related illnesses were common. Now our area has become less dependent on heavy industry, but job-related injuries still happen very frequently, they are no less debilitating. They can be equally detrimental to your quality of life and the effective performance of your job. • Do you deserve workers' compensation? Workers' compensation is a system created by state statute designed to provide benefits to an employee who is injured while in the scope of his or her employment. It covers direct and indirect injuries such as aggravation of old ones. These injuries can range from back and spinal injuries to muscle strains to carpal tunnel, broken bones, nerve trauma, conditions affecting internal organs such as your lungs, and many more. Very serious injuries can cause paralysis, amputation, even death. As long as your injury or impaired condition is related in some way to the performance of your job duties, you may be qualified for workers' compensation benefits. • You may need an attorney to get compensation Your company's insurance carrier is usually responsible for paying for the treatment you require under workers' compensation. Chances are they will challenge your claim on many levels, from the authenticity of the injury to whether it's really job-related. That's where I come in to advocate for you, leveraging my experience as an accomplished trail lawyer who knows workers' comp laws to fight for the compensation you rightfully deserve. • Lump sum settlement offer Is the insurance company trying to lure you with a lump sum? I can maximize and coordinate it with other potential benefits to maximize your overall recovery. • Personal attention Whether I'm helping you get workers' comp you need, assisting you in a personal injury claim, or simply working with you to get your estate and will in legal order, I provide my clients with levels of personal service, responsiveness and courtesy that are as high as my legal standards. Contact my office today I will try to meet or exceed your expectations for legal representation in your workers' compensation or personal injury case, and I will not charge a fee unless you win.
