How Personal Injury Claims Work

Understanding the personal injury claim process can help you know what to expect. Here's an overview:

1. Free Consultation

We meet with you at no cost to discuss your case, answer questions, and explain your legal options.

2. Investigation

We conduct a thorough investigation, gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, consulting experts, and documenting your injuries.

3. Demand and Negotiation

We prepare a demand package and negotiate with the insurance company to seek a fair settlement.

4. Filing a Lawsuit

If negotiations fail, we file a lawsuit and pursue your case through the court system.

5. Discovery

Both sides exchange information and evidence through depositions, interrogatories, and document requests.

6. Settlement or Trial

Many cases settle before trial, but we're prepared to present your case to a judge and jury if necessary.

Pennsylvania Personal Injury Laws

Important Pennsylvania laws affecting personal injury cases include:

Statute of Limitations

In Pennsylvania, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline can bar you from recovering compensation, so it's important to contact an attorney promptly.

Comparative Negligence

Pennsylvania follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can recover compensation as long as you're not more than 50% at fault for the accident. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

Damage Caps

Pennsylvania does not cap compensatory damages in most personal injury cases, though medical malpractice cases have specific rules.

What to Do After an Accident

The steps you take after an accident can significantly impact your ability to recover compensation:

  1. Seek Medical Attention: Your health is the top priority. Get medical care immediately, even for seemingly minor injuries.
  2. Report the Accident: Notify appropriate authorities (police, property owners, employers) and obtain copies of reports.
  3. Document Everything: Take photos, collect witness information, and keep detailed records of your injuries and treatment.
  4. Preserve Evidence: Keep damaged property, torn clothing, and anything else that may be relevant to your case.
  5. Don't Admit Fault: Avoid making statements that could be used against you.
  6. Be Careful with Insurance Companies: Don't give recorded statements or sign documents without legal advice.
  7. Contact a Personal Injury Lawyer: Speak with an experienced attorney before accepting any settlement offers.

  • Severity and permanence of your injuries

Personal Injury FAQs

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay no attorney fees unless we win your case. Your initial consultation is completely free, and there are no upfront costs.

How long will my personal injury case take?

Every case is unique. Some settle in a few months, while others take longer. Factors affecting timeline include injury severity, liability disputes, and settlement negotiations. We work efficiently while ensuring you receive fair compensation.

What if I can't afford medical treatment?

We can help you find medical providers who will treat you on a lien basis, meaning they wait for payment until your case settles. Don't let financial concerns prevent you from getting necessary medical care.

Should I accept the insurance company's settlement offer?

Never accept a settlement without first consulting an experienced personal injury attorney. Insurance companies often make low initial offers hoping you'll accept before understanding your claim's full value.
