Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Your Personal Injury FAQs
Answers to the questions Attorney Snover hears most often from injured people across the Lehigh Valley.
Should I always call the police after a car accident?
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney in Bethlehem, PA?
Attorney Snover handles personal injury and workers compensation cases on a contingency fee basis. That means there are no upfront costs, no hourly fees, and no bills of any kind while your case is active. He only gets paid if and when he recovers money for you. If there is no recovery, you owe nothing.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania’s statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. Medical malpractice cases also carry a two-year deadline, generally running from when the injury occurred or when it was reasonably discovered. Missing this deadline will bar you from recovery, which is why it is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible after an accident.
What should I do immediately after a car accident in Bethlehem, PA?
Seek medical attention right away, even if you feel fine – some injuries take time to appear. Report the accident to police and get a copy of the report. Document the scene with photos if you are able. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney. Insurance adjusters are not working in your interest. Contact Attorney Snover before signing anything or accepting any settlement offer.
Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Pennsylvania follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover compensation as long as you are less than 51% at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found 20% at fault and your damages are $100,000, you would recover $80,000. Insurance companies often try to inflate a victim’s share of fault to reduce the payout – an experienced attorney helps counter this tactic.
What if my workers compensation claim was denied?
A denial is not the end of your claim. There are many reasons insurers deny workers comp claims – paperwork problems, disputed injury circumstances, or lack of initial documentation. Attorney Snover can appeal the denial, request a formal hearing before a Workers Compensation Judge, and present the medical evidence and testimony needed to support your case. Do not accept a denial without speaking to an attorney first.
Does Attorney Snover offer home or hospital consultations?
Yes. Attorney Snover recognizes that serious injuries can prevent clients from traveling to his office. Home visits, hospital visits, and Zoom consultations are available on a case-by-case basis. Your injuries should never stand between you and legal representation.
How much is my personal injury case worth?
Every case is different. Factors that affect value include the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, property damage, and whether any aggravating conduct – such as a DUI driver or reckless trucking company – justifies punitive damages. Attorney Snover evaluates all of these factors before estimating what your case may be worth. The first consultation is always free.
If the other driver is uninsured, does that mean I cannot make a financial recovery?
Not necessarily. If the at-fault driver is uninsured, there may still be options. You might be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured motorist coverage. Every case is different, and it’s crucial to explore all potential avenues for recovery. A legal consultation can help you understand your rights and options.
If an accident is partially my fault, can I still recover?
Yes. Pennsylvania law allows a person to make a recovery as long as he/she is not more than 50% causally negligent. Your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you’re not barred from recovering altogether. It’s critical to have legal guidance to ensure a fair evaluation of your claim.
Should I give recorded interviews after an accident?
No, not without legal advice. Insurance companies may use your statements against you to minimize or deny your claim. Always consult with an attorney before giving any recorded statement. Protecting your rights starts with knowing what not to say, especially when your financial recovery is at stake.
Should I try to represent myself and delay hiring a lawyer in case I can settle it myself?
Definitely not. Insurance companies are trained to settle claims for as little as possible. Without legal representation, you may overlook damages or accept less than you deserve. A qualified attorney knows how to negotiate and ensure you’re fully compensated. Early legal help often results in stronger outcomes.

Should I choose Limited Tort or Full Tort?
