Injury Attorney Serving Philadelphia County, Delaware County, Montgomery County, Bucks County, and Chester County
Few things in life are worse than suffering an injury, especially if the situation that brought on the injury was preventable. When faced with an injury caused by negligence or sheer carelessness on someone else's part, it's hard to fully grasp all the different ways your life will be changed. An injury can affect a person in many different ways, including physically, emotionally, and financially. Some individuals who are injured have long recovery times and often miss work, lose their jobs, and are unable to go about their normal lives.

With the help of an experienced attorney, you will have a much better chance of obtaining compensation to cover expenses for doctor bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any other costs incurred as a result of your injuries.
The time following an accident is one of the most emotionally trying and stressful periods of your entire life. You will be faced with not only the physical aftermath, but also the emotional and financial issues that branch off as time goes on, some of them long standing. In times like this, it's important to realize that there is no need for you to attempt to face negotiations and the pursuit of a desirable outcome by yourself. With the help of a skilled Philadelphia personal injury attorney, you can breathe easier as they help guide you through the complicated, daunting process.
When negotiating with insurance companies, many times the promises they made in the beginning are much larger than they ever wished to fulfill. So when it comes to you in a time of need, you're left high and dry. Negotiations can often lead to your claim being denied, delayed or even settled for much less value than is actually desired or needed to cover the physical and non-physical losses inflicted. By having a strong attorney at your side, you can let the insurance companies know that you mean business. Often, this act of having a fighter looking out for your best interests is enough to get you the respect you deserve to help reach a settlement outside of court. If not, we will do everything we can to get the optimum outcome.
Areas of Practice - Philadelphia Accident & Injury Claims
If you or someone you love has suffered from any of the following types of accidents or injuries in Philadelphia, Delaware County, or Media, the time to act is now:

No matter the particular accident you or a loved one was involved in, you should waste no time in consulting an attorney. In Philadelphia, you have the right to seek financial compensation for your injuries by way of an insurance claim or lawsuit against the person or entity responsible for the incident that led to your accident and/or injuries. Even if you think that you are not seriously injured or do not need a personal injury lawyer, undergoing a consultation may prove to be very important to the outcome of your case. The particular circumstances of your accident and the extent of your injuries, as well as whether you think you are at fault may be irrelevant. We have worked on cases where our client thought that he or she was responsible, but in fact it was another party's fault and therefore a significant financial recovery was possible. It is not possible for you to erase all traces of the accident of your life, but with the right steps and an aggressive approach, we can help you move forward to a place as close to your prior life as feasible.
Philadelphia Personal Injury Liability and Compensation
Particular parties may be held legally responsible (liable) in a personal injury claim depending upon the circumstances of the incident. For example, a motorist on the road has an obligation to follow traffic laws and to be reasonably cautious in order to avoid accidents. When a driver is distracted or violates a traffic law of some kind, causing an auto accident, this may be grounds for that driver to be held responsible for the accident and therefore the other driver's injuries. A property owner who is negligent in maintaining property grounds may be held responsible if a customer or visitor is injured - as in the case of a slip and fall accident, which may be caused by a hazardous condition on the property (such as a wet floor or missing stair).
The amount of compensation a victim or a victim's family may be able to receive in a Philadelphia personal injury case will vary depending upon a number of different factors. The extent of injuries the victim suffered, the effect these injuries will have on the victim's way of life and ability to work, whether the victim is disfigured, the amount of medical bills and continued medical care needed, and many other issues will impact the value of a claim.
Why It's Important to Hire an Experienced Injury Attorney
Many people often question whether or not it's worth it to hire a personal injury attorney to help them with their claim. Some people feel their injuries aren't serious enough to warrant compensation. Others are concerned they may have somehow contributed to the accident, and thus do not deserve to be compensated. Sometimes a victim, particularly car accident victims, feel they don't need help filing a claim with the insurance company.
If you have recently sustained an injury, you should strongly consider contacting an attorney. Even if your injury appears to be nothing serious, the injury can quickly worsen over time, especially if you failed to seek medical attention immediately after the accident. And in the event your injury does get worse, you'll want to ensure you have the financial resources needed to cover the cost of your medical bills.
Furthermore, if you are hesitant about hiring a lawyer because you think you can deal with the insurance company on your own, just know that insurance companies are notorious for trying to settle accident claims for far less than they are actually worth. An attorney can help you secure full compensation for you injuries, and ensure the insurance company does not try to undermine your rights in any way.
