View Map On Google When you get hurt at work, suddenly everything changes. Your ability to earn a living, support your family, and live without pain now feels uncertain. Workers’ comp benefits exist for moments like this, when you need medical treatment, time to recover, and financial support, but for many workers, getting those benefits isn’t simple when claims are denied, payments are delayed, employers dispute injuries, and insurance companies push back on treatment.
You deserve better, and Pond Lehocky is here to make sure you get it. Our Bethlehem workers’ compensation team helps injured workers fight to secure the benefits the law provides. We know how stressful a job-related injury can be, and we know the system well enough to guide you through it.
You don’t have to face the process alone. Our office is located at 65 East Elizabeth St., Suite 208, Bethlehem, PA 18015, near the heart of downtown Bethlehem. Give us a call to schedule your free consultation.

We Help Injured Workers Access the Benefits They Need in Bethlehem
A work injury can impact every part of your life, and workers’ compensation benefits in Bethlehem exist to cover medical treatment and lost wages when you can’t return to work right away. But the claims process can be overwhelming – especially if you’re struggling with pain or unsure whether your employer is being fair with you.
Our Bethlehem workers’ compensation and disability attorneys help with claim filings, denied claims, wage loss benefits, medical treatment approval, and settlement negotiations. We make sure you understand your rights early, so mistakes don’t cost you your benefits later on.
Whether you suffered a sudden injury or developed symptoms over time, we take the time to listen to your story, learn how your job contributed to your condition, and develop a strategy with you on how to seek the compensation you deserve and that can help you move on.
What Workers’ Compensation and Disability Benefits in Bethlehem Can Cover
Pennsylvania law requires most employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance for injuries that occur on the job. Coverage generally includes medical care related to your injury and wage-loss payments if you’re unable to work while you’re recovering. Many injured workers assume the process is automatic, but insurance companies frequently look for ways to minimize payouts or cast doubt on whether an injury is work-related.
That’s where we come in. When you hire the team at Pond Lehocky, we step in as your advocate and take over communication with the insurer. You won’t feel pressured to return to work before you’re ready, and you won’t have to fight alone for treatment your doctor believes you need.
We handle everything from back injuries and slip-and-falls to repetitive stress injuries, occupational illness, trauma from machinery, chemical exposure, and more. If your injury affects your ability to do your job, you may qualify for benefits, and we will work tirelessly to secure them for you.
Was Your Bethlehem Workers’ Comp Claim Denied or Delayed? Don’t Give Up
One of the most frustrating experiences an injured worker can face is a claim denial. It feels unfair and personal, especially when your injury is real and your recovery is ongoing, but a denial does not mean your case is over.
Our Bethlehem workers’ compensation and disability attorneys will review the reasons for the denial, gather medical evidence, consult experts if needed, and pursue an appeal or litigation on your behalf. Many workers receive benefits only after challenging an unfair decision, so we know how to build a strong case to push for fair results.
We have experience with hearings, negotiations, and settlements, and we prepare every case as if it may need to go before a judge. We also know that sometimes the strongest outcomes happen when insurers know you’re not afraid to take a stand.
When Work Injuries Become Disabilities
Some workers recover from their work injuries, while others experience permanent limitations. If your condition prevents you from returning to work, you may also qualify for Social Security Disability (SSD) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Many of our workers’ compensation clients need help with the disability application process, and we routinely handle both types of claims.
Disability cases require detailed medical documentation and a clear picture of how your symptoms interfere with daily functions. We help prepare and file applications, obtain medical records, and represent clients in hearings when necessary. Whether you’re seeking disability benefits alone or simultaneously along with workers’ comp, our firm will support you from start to finish.
