Personal Injury
Representing Pennsylvania personal injury victims
Personal injury cases arise when an individual is injured due to the negligent or intentional actions of another person or group. Victims of personal injury may be entitled to financial compensation for their medical and property expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, permanent injury and other losses.
Our firm is dedicated to representing clients with personal injury claims, including victims of automobile, trucking and motorcycle accidents, unsafe premises, dangerous and unsafe products, professional malpractice and other types of negligence. On behalf of our clients, we effectively negotiate with insurance companies and aggressively pursue the legal rights and remedies available to personal injury victims.
Our office handles all personal injury cases on a contingency basis, which means our clients pay nothing for our legal services unless we achieve a recovery on their behalf. For a free case evaluation and initial consultation, please contact our office at your convenience.

For example, it is always a good idea to: (1) write down as much as you can about the accident, your injuries and any other losses; (2) take photographs of your property damage and injures; (3) keep receipts of any out-of-pocket expenses; (4) identify people who witnessed the accident; and (5) contact a personal injury attorney to evaluate your situation.
