Workers' Compensation

Workers' Compensation Attorney in Media, PA

A work injury can stop a paycheck as fast as it stops you from doing your job. You may need treatment, time off, and financial support to recover, all while wondering how your employer will react when you file. Attorney John A. Novello has over 38 years of experience as a personal injury and workers' compensation attorney, and he represents injured workers from offices in Media and Kennett Square.

Speaking Up After a Work Injury

Plenty of people hesitate before reporting an injury. They worry about how it will look to a supervisor, whether they will be believed, or whether the claim is worth the trouble. That hesitation is understandable, but it should not keep you from the support a claim is meant to provide.



You have rights after a workplace injury. Having an attorney on your side means you are not facing the process, or your employer's insurer, alone. Attorney Novello helps workers build a strong case so they can receive the financial support needed to get back on their feet.

How Attorney Novello Helps With Your Claim

A workers' compensation claim involves forms, records, and deadlines that are easy to get wrong when you are hurt. Here is what attorney Novello takes on for you.

Explaining the Process

He walks you through how a workers' comp claim is filed, step by step, so you know what is happening and what comes next.

Answering Your Questions

Questions come up throughout a claim, not just at the start. You can bring them to him as they arise.

Building the Case

He collects the information your claim needs, from details about how the injury happened to the records that show its effect on your health and work.

Connecting You With Medical Care

Recovery comes first. Attorney Novello helps clients find medical care that supports their recovery.

Meeting Deadlines

He submits all of the required paperwork in a timely manner, so a missed form does not hold up your claim.

When Another Party Played a Role

Some work injuries involve someone other than your employer. You might be hurt in a crash while driving for work, or injured by equipment that failed. Because attorney Novello also handles auto accident claims and broader personal injury cases, he can review every part of what happened rather than only one piece of it.
