Why You Should
Hire a Lehigh Valley Workers’ Comp Attorney
Think It’s Easier Without a Lawyer? Think Again.
Many injured workers assume workers’ comp will take care of them without a fight. But insurance companies are businesses, and they often deny, delay, or reduce benefits. Employers also challenge claims—sometimes claiming your injury didn’t happen at work. When you're up against a system like that, going it alone can cost you the benefits you deserve.
Local Knowledge Makes the Difference
At Vellner Law, we know the
local judges, insurance adjusters, and employer tactics used across the Lehigh Valley. Whether your hearing is in Allentown, Easton, or Bethlehem, we’re familiar with how the process works right here at home.
A Lawyer Helps You Get Every Dollar You Deserve
Many workers don’t realize they may qualify for specific loss payments (scarring, amputation, hearing loss) or higher wage calculations. We handle every detail and push for maximum recovery, including negotiating fair settlements when the time is right.
No Upfront Fees, Ever
Our firm works on contingency—meaning we don’t get paid unless you do. Fees are approved by a judge and come from your back pay, not out of your pocket.
Let Us Handle the Red Tape While You Heal
We’ll manage everything from medical evidence and court filings to settlement negotiations, so you can focus on recovery.
FAQ – Why Hire a Workers’ Comp Lawyer?
Can I handle my case without an attorney?
You can try, but the system is complex. One misstep can cost you benefits. A lawyer helps ensure nothing is missed.
How does a lawyer help with my case?
We gather medical evidence, negotiate with insurers, represent you in hearings, and protect your long-term rights.
Is hiring a lawyer expensive?
No. We only get paid if we win, and the fee is set by law—usually a percentage of the past-due benefits.
Do I still need a lawyer if my claim was already approved?
Possibly. Insurers often try to reduce or terminate benefits later. Legal help can protect your ongoing payments.
