PHILADELPHIA PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS
When you suffer an injury because of another’s negligence, your entire life is
disrupted. A severe injury could result in an extended hospital stay, long-term
medical care, and a substantial loss of income. At the Reiff Law Firm, our
Philadelphia personal injury lawyers are dedicated to representing those who
have suffered significant harm because of another person’s reckless behavior.
Whether it was a car accident, slip and fall, or an intentional act, our
attorneys will fight for your rights and just compensation.
The attorneys and staff at our office have years of experience handling
complicated litigation arising from severe injuries. When another person or
company’s negligent conduct results in serious harm, they should be held
accountable. To schedule a free, confidential appointment, call the Reiff Law
Firm at (215) 246-9000.
PERSONAL INJURY LAWSUITS IN PHILADELPHIA
Personal injury law encompasses a broad range of claims. People in Philadelphia
and throughout the surrounding area are injured every day. In many cases, the
injury is the result of an unpreventable accident. However, in other situations,
an injury results from another person or entity’s careless or negligent conduct.
When a preventable injury results in physical suffering or a financial loss, the
harmed victim is entitled to seek compensation through a personal injury
lawsuit. Our experienced and aggressive attorneys at the Reiff Law Firm are
committed to holding responsible parties liable for the injuries they cause.
When a lawyer thinks about personal injury litigation, they are thinking about
the law of torts. Torts is a legal term that means a “civil wrong” resulting in
harm to an individual. Under tort law, the victim is permitted to recover
monetary compensation for the injury they suffered.
For example, a tort occurs if you were injured by a driver pulling out of a
parking space while walking through a parking lot. Through a personal injury
lawsuit, you could hold the driver and, possibly, the parking lot’s management
liable for your injuries and monetary losses.
In Philadelphia, people are hurt every day because of the unreasonable and
negligent conduct of others. Many people may not realize that another person was
to blame for their injury. If you were harmed and believe another person or
company was at fault, a free discussion with our knowledgeable Philadelphia
personal injury lawyer could put you on the path to financial recovery.
Depending on the conduct, a person who committed a negligent act could be held
civilly liable in a Philadelphia court or, in some cases, criminally charged. In
a civil court, the remedies available are limited to monetary damages. However,
in certain situations, a case could run parallel to a criminal proceeding. In
fact, you could be successful in a civil trial even if criminal charges are
dropped or if the person is found not guilty. The standard of proof is
substantially lower in a civil matter. Therefore, a drunk driver could escape
criminal charges but still be held financially responsible for your injuries.
This is because, in a criminal trial, a jury must find that the defendant is
guilty “beyond a reasonable doubt.” While in civil court, the standard of proof
is only a “preponderance of the evidence.” There is a significant difference
between the two standards and our seasoned attorneys often have a better chance
of success in a civil action than prosecutors do in a criminal matter.
OUR LAWYERS FIGHT TO HOLD INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS ACCOUNTABLE
Personal injury law in Philadelphia serves two primary purposes. First, it
ensures that the victims of negligent conduct receive the compensation they
deserve to help them move forward with their lives and recovery. Second, as a
matter of public policy, personal injury lawsuits help effect change that
prevents future accidents and injuries.
Our dedicated Philadelphia personal injury lawyers handle severe and
catastrophic injury cases, so victims could receive the monetary compensation
necessary to obtain the medical treatment and life assistance they require. Our
office is also committed to holding people, companies, and even government
agencies liable for their negligent conduct while incentivizing an improvement
and higher standard of care to protect other residents of Philadelphia from
similar harm.
COMMON TYPES OF INJURY CASES IN PHILADELPHIA
Personal injury lawsuits are one of the most common types of legal proceedings
in Philadelphia and the country. One of the main reasons for this is that
personal injury claims include a wide variety of issues and injuries. Negligent
conduct could lead to everything from car accidents to medical malpractice
claims. People in Philadelphia are injured in many different locations,
including businesses, schools, and other people’s homes. The causes of these
injuries are also seemingly endless, including injuries sustained while engaged
in athletic activities to intentional acts of violence. At the Reiff Law Firm,
our attorneys and staff represent a broad scope of people who experienced harm
in numerous ways.
CAR ACCIDENTS
One of the most dangerous activities people in Philadelphia do every day is
getting behind the wheel of their car. People, including drivers, passengers,
pedestrians, and bike riders, are injured in accidents throughout the area. In
many instances, the injuries are severe, life-altering, or fatal. When someone
is operating their car recklessly, driving distracted, or under the influence of
drugs or alcohol, they should be held responsible for any injuries or damage
they cause.
TRUCK ACCIDENTS
While similar to car accidents, truck accidents pose many additional legal
issues. First, because of the size and weight of most commercial vehicles, the
injuries sustained in truck accidents are often catastrophic. Additionally, many
truck accidents involve federal regulatory issues and more challenging questions
regarding liability. In a car accident, it is usually much less difficult to
determine who was at fault. Because of the carnage left after an accident
involving a massive tractor trailer, it might require additional investigation
to understand what occurred. Furthermore, the driver, the trucking company, a
shipping company, or even the truck manufacturer could be held accountable for
your injures. The attorneys and staff at the Reiff Law Firm have years of
experience handling complex truck accident litigation.
MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS
Another common type of vehicle accident that occurs in and around Philadelphia
are motorcycle crashes. With the congestion on roadways like I-76 or I-95, it is
not surprising that a motorcycle rider will be struck by another vehicle.
Because of their size, motorcycles are often difficult to see. Careless behavior
that might not pose a threat to other motorists could be fatal to a
motorcyclist. In addition to the typical issues surrounding any accident case, a
motorcyclist usually has a reputation of recklessness that needs to be overcome.
Our seasoned Philadelphia attorneys understand the hurdles associated with
representing motorcycle accident victims.
SLIP AND FALL ACCIDENTS
Other than motor vehicle accidents, people are probably most familiar with slip
and fall accidents. These types of lawsuits have been played for comedic effect
on television and the movies for years. However, if a person loses their balance
and falls, the resulting injuries could be everything from a minor bruise to a
coma-inducing brain injury. In many cases, a slip and fall accident results in
serious injuries that take weeks or months to heal. A key element in a slip and
fall case is chaining together the string of events that lead to the accident.
From store managers failing to clean up a spill to property owners not
adequately shoveling their sidewalk, our goal is to hold every responsible
person accountable.
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Another area of personal injury claims that is more prevalent than should be is
medical malpractice cases. People in Philadelphia trust their doctors,
healthcare providers, and other medical professionals to offer their patients
professional and reasonable care. When medical mistakes or errors occur, the
resulting medical complications and consequences could be serious or deadly.
Medical malpractice cases are often complicated, requiring experience with many
legal disciplines. You should not trust your medical malpractice claim with just
any Philadelphia law firm.
PRODUCT LIABILITY
The products we purchase are supposed to perform as intended – they are
certainly not supposed to cause injuries. If a person is harmed because of a
defective consumer product, an unsafe medication, a dangerous device, or a
faulty auto part, the manufacturer or seller of the product should be held
liable for any injuries.
PREMISES LIABILITY
Every property owner and landlord in Philadelphia has a duty to maintain their
properties in a safe condition and up to code. When this is not the case, a
person could suffer an injury due to an unforeseen accident. For example, a
broken stair could cause a person to lose their balance and fall down a flight
of stairs. Depending on the unsafe condition and the severity of the accident,
injuries could range from a few cuts to spinal cord damage. The Reiff Law Firm
could help you if you were harmed because of the negligent conduct of a property
owner or manager.
“CATASTROPHIC” INJURIES
Injuries are often considered “catastrophic” if the person affected does not
fully recover from the injury. Catastrophic or serious injuries can occur in
nearly any circumstances. They can happen while driving on a highway, walking
down the street, or while performing household chores.
Persons with catastrophic injuries often suffer long-term or permanent
disabilities. These disabilities may shorten a person’s life, as well as present
him or her with ongoing medical problems, physical pain, and emotional
suffering. Catastrophic injuries are also life altering for the victim’s family
members, who may have to adjust their priorities and work to care for their
loved one.
AMUSEMENT AND WATER PARK ACCIDENTS
As stated above, accidents and personal injury claims arise from a wide variety
of incidents. Philadelphia is close to the rides of the New Jersey Shore and
large-scale attractions such as Dorney Park and Great Adventure. A fun day out
at an amusement or water park is supposed to be entertaining for the entire
family. However, amusement parks present many dangers to patrons. When rides are
poorly maintained or riders are not adequately instructed on safety precautions,
tragic injuries could occur. Because of the inconsistent regulations regarding
amusement and water parks, it is critical to have the representation of an
experienced amusement park accident attorney, such as the Reiff Law Firm.
STEPS TO TAKE IF YOU HAVE SUFFERED AN INJURY IN PHILADELPHIA
No two incidents or injuries are the same, so there is no one set standard of
actions to take if you were harmed due to another’s negligent conduct. However,
there are some general steps to take to help begin building your personal injury
claim from the moment you were hurt.
First, seek medical attention if immediately necessary. Even if this means
ignoring the rest of the following advice – your health should be your most
important concern. Even if you believe you suffered only minor injuries, you
should still see your doctor within the next day or two. Many injuries, such as
some back and brain injuries, are not readily apparent. Additionally, you could
be feeling the effects of an adrenaline rush following an accident and be
unaware of the extent of your injuries. If you want to pursue a personal injury
claim, it is crucial to have either immediate medical treatment or treatment
within 48 hours. Any delay could significantly decrease your chances of success
in a lawsuit or of receiving a settlement offer from an insurance company.
If you are physically capable, you should begin gathering evidence. Many
personal injury cases are won or lost on the quality of evidence available, and
much of the best evidence is available moments after an accident.
Photographs are worth a thousand words, so take pictures of the scene. If it is
a car accident, take photos of the damaged vehicles, the road conditions, and
the surrounding area. After a slip and fall accident, take photographs of the
condition that caused your fall and the scene of the incident. For example, if
you tripped on a broken stair, take pictures of the staircase, the walls
surrounding the area, and the lighting – especially if it was poor. Photographs
will help our Philadelphia personal injury attorneys piece together what
occurred and could help trigger witnesses’ memories.
Speaking of witnesses, gather the names and contact information of anyone who
saw the accident. Their testimony could prove invaluable if your case goes to
court. It also allows our office to interview them as close to the date of the
injury as possible.
Finally, contact our Philadelphia personal injury attorney at the Reiff Law
Firm. By retaining our services as soon as possible, it allows our office to
preserve evidence and talk to witnesses before their memories begin to fade. If
you want to maximize your potential recovery, you need to start preparing your
case immediately.
YOU HAVE A CASE, NOW WHAT? FILING A PERSONAL INJURY LAWSUIT
Personal injury lawsuits are rarely quickly resolved. It is not uncommon for a
case to last for a year or more before it comes to settlement. By filing a
lawsuit, you are removing the claim from the control of the insurance adjuster
and placing it in the hands of a jury or judge. In many situations, the threat
of litigation or filing a lawsuit is required to get an insurance company to pay
what your claim is worth.
An essential part of the process is understanding the value of your claim. Our
Philadelphia personal injury attorney has the skill and resources to
appropriately value your injury and potential damages. While it is impossible to
know precisely what your settlement will be, by having a good faith estimate of
its value, you can make an informed decision regarding accepting a settlement
offer or moving forward with a lawsuit.
HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE TO FILE A PERSONAL INJURY LAWSUIT?
Every state in the union has imposed statutory deadlines on filing lawsuits or a
statute of limitations. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is no different. The
time limit will depend on the type of case you are bringing before the court.
Under Pennsylvania law, an injured victim has two years from the date of their
injury to file a civil lawsuit. This deadline is serious, and it is critical to
understand and adhere to this rule. If you do not file your case within the
prescribed time, your lawsuit will likely be dismissed and you will have lost
your opportunity to seek compensation through the Pennsylvania court system.
Just as important, it is unlikely an insurance company would offer you a
settlement if you allowed this deadline to pass.
In cases involving the employee or an agency of the government, either local or
state, there is a different deadline. You have a much shorter time to file your
claim when a government agency is involved. Instead of two years, you only have
30 to 180 days to bring your claim, depending on the specific government entity
involved. If you have been injured due to the misconduct of a government agency
or employee, contact the Reiff Law Firm immediately.
Even though you have two years to file a claim in most personal injury cases,
you should not wait that long. One of the key elements in a personal injury
lawsuit is the medical evidence that links your injury to the incident. As time
passes between the accident and when you bring the claim, the medical evidence
becomes less compelling. If you have waited too long or neglected to seek timely
medical treatment, a defense attorney will argue that your injury was the result
of another incident. Furthermore, other critical evidence could be lost if you
hesitate to retain our Philadelphia personal injury lawyer. It is not uncommon
for witnesses to forget important details or not be available. Additionally,
video evidence to could be erased if you delay in contacting our firm. To ensure
your best chances of success in a lawsuit and increase the amount of your
potential settlement, it is critical to seek the assistance of an experienced
attorney as soon as possible after an injury.
DETERMINING THE VALUE OF A PERSONAL INJURY LAWSUIT
Because personal injury claims in Philadelphia arise from a wide scope of
situations, it is impossible to give a blanket estimate on what a claim is
worth. Each case depends on what happened, the severity of the injuries, how
those injuries affected the victim, among numerous other factors.
Before knowing how to proceed after you have suffered an accidental injury, it
is essential to understand what your personal injury claim could be worth. Most
people know that they could recover the medical costs, but your claim’s value is
influenced by many more factors. Depending on the severity of your injury, you
could be facing physical and economic problems well into the future. If you are
experiencing a chronic condition or permanent disability, you are likely facing
years of medical costs and treatments. You could have lost income, or your
earning capacity might have been significantly diminished because of your
injury. Our Philadelphia personal injury attorneys will thoroughly review your
case and calculate a realistic figure that considers your future expenses.
The effects of a serious injury are always more than physical. Victims who were
harmed through the negligence of others often experience mental and emotional
distress. In many cases, an injury will impact a person’s ability to engage in
activities that brought them joy. While it is challenging to calculate, our
attorneys will value the percentage the injury negatively impacted your life.
Fortunately, Pennsylvania law allows injured victims to recover a wide variety
of damages, many of which might not be apparent to the hurt person. In most
cases, you will be able to recover economic and non-economic damages.
ECONOMIC DAMAGES
Economic damages are typically easy to understand. These damages include your
financial losses associated with your injury and include medical expenses,
hospital costs, medication, and lost wages. In cases where home healthcare or
modifications to your house are required, the costs are also recoverable.
It is important to note that it is not limited to money that was lost up until
the case was filed. If you anticipate additional medical treatment, the
estimated costs would be included in the total amount. Additionally, your lost
wages could include the money you would have earned except for the injury.
Future lost income reflects your diminished earning capacity or your full income
if you are permanently disabled or unable to work again.
Economic damages also include smaller amounts that are not immediately evident,
including parking costs for doctors’ appointments, additional childcare, and
countless other expenses that will depend upon your circumstances. Our
Philadelphia personal injury attorney will use receipts, bills, income records,
expert testimony, and other evidence to demonstrate your financial losses to a
jury or judge.
NON-ECONOMIC DAMAGES
Non-economic damages are much more challenging to calculate but could be a
substantial part of your total award. People often hear the phrase “pain and
suffering” during conversations about personal injury lawsuits. Pain and
suffering damages encompass a wide breadth of potential damages. Injured victims
are entitled to recover for the mental and physical impact of the harm they
sustained.
Every injury will affect an individual differently. The impact of a broken arm
will depend on the victim’s age, health, and lifestyle. If you were an avid
tennis player, a severely damaged shoulder will negatively impact your ability
to engage in an activity you love for months, years, or a lifetime if the injury
is permanent. Likewise, the mental effects of an accident are unique to each
injured individual. A car accident could result in nightmares and a significant
loss of sleep for one person and instill a fear of driving in another.
Non-economic damages should reflect each victim’s situation.
At the Reiff Law Firm, our attorneys and staff will work with you, your family,
and healthcare providers to determine the true impact of your injuries on your
physical and mental wellbeing. Our experienced Philadelphia personal injury
attorneys will consider various factors and evidence when deciding the amount of
damages sought. We will offer our professional opinion on the value of your
claim and the damages you are likely to receive if we take your case to court.
OUR ATTORNEYS CAN HELP BUILD YOUR PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM
The first step in any lawsuit is meeting with our Philadelphia personal injury
attorney to review the facts of your situation. Through a thorough interview, we
will begin building the foundation of your case. Our attorneys and staff will go
over a detailed description of what occurred, how you were injured, where it
happened, and any other vital details relevant to your situation. Part of the
initial discussion is the extent of your injury, the treatment you have already
received, and the medical treatment you will require. Linking your injury to the
incident is critical in a personal injury claim. The severity of your injury
also strongly influences your potential compensation. You must document your
medical treatment and follow through with any instructions your doctor gives
you. Without sufficient medical documentation, it is nearly impossible to
prevail in a personal injury lawsuit.
Our office will also begin to gather other evidence related to your case. Much
of the work involved will depend on the type of accident and injury. If you were
in a car accident, we will question eyewitnesses, request police reports, review
the accident scene, try to preserve and collect any surveillance video, and in
some cases, recreate the accident to determine what could have happened. In a
slip and fall case, we will look to witnesses, incident reports, store
surveillance video, and testimony from employees. When trying medical
malpractice cases, our office will use expert opinions from qualified medical
professionals.
The Reiff Law Firm focuses on cases involving severe injury or wrongful deaths.
Our dedicated staff and attorneys will build the best possible personal injury
case. Our office does not overload our team with too many cases, so we can give
your case the attention it deserves. Building a compelling personal injury case
takes patience, knowledge, and professional commitment.
OUR ATTORNEYS CAN HELP DEMONSTRATE LIABILITY IN YOUR PERSONAL INJURY LAWSUIT
To hold any defendant liable in a personal injury claim, our Philadelphia
personal injury lawyer must prove that their conduct was negligent. While the
type of case will dictate the specifics necessary to demonstrate negligence,
four essential elements are required.
First, our office will have to show a duty of care existed. Whether a duty of
care exists will depend on the relationship of the parties involved in the case.
For example, every motorist has an obligation to operate their vehicle safely.
Therefore, in a car accident case, there is a duty of care shared by every
driver on the road. In other cases, this might be different. The duty of care
between a doctor and their patient is different from the duty of care between a
store owner and a customer. Our office will have to look at the facts of your
case to determine the duty of care.
Most personal injury cases center on the next element – a breach of the duty of
care. A breach of duty occurs when a person’s conduct does not adhere to what a
reasonable person in a similar situation would do under the same circumstances.
As with the duty of care, a breach will depend on the facts of your case. If a
driver is driving drunk, then they are clearly breaching their duty of care.
However, if they are driving at the speed limit during a heavy rainstorm, they
could be breaching their duty of care. Our Philadelphia personal injury attorney
will have to prove that the conduct in question was something no reasonable
motorist would have done.
Next, our law office will have to show that the breach caused the injury.
Depending on what occurred, this could be relatively easy or another difficult
legal hurdle. When a drunk driver ignores a red light and hits another car, the
injuries sustained were likely a direct result of their dereliction of duty.
However, a doctor could make a grievous mistake, but their patient’s condition
was terminal. In this case, even though the doctor made a careless mistake, the
eventual harm was unavoidable.
Finally, you must have suffered actual damages. If you were in a car accident
and walked away with just a bruised arm, it is unlikely your injury justifies a
personal injury lawsuit. However, if your injury resulted in a hospital stay,
surgery, physical therapy, or a loss of income, you have suffered harm. Our
Philadelphia personal injury will work with you and your doctor to determine the
extent of your injury and damages.
“MODIFIED COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE” IN PERSONAL INJURY LAWSUITS
Not every accident is the fault of one person. In some situations, an injured
person’s conduct could have contributed to the incident. When a plaintiff is
found to have shared a degree of blame for an accident, it could affect their
compensation.
Pennsylvania follows the modified comparative negligence doctrine in personal
injury cases. It the simplest terms, this means that the compensation a victim
is entitled to receive will be reduced proportionally by the percentage they are
found to have contributed to the accident. If a person is found to be more than
50% to blame for an accident, they are not permitted to recover anything from
any other party.
To illustrate how the modified comparative negligence rule works, suppose you
were involved in a rear-end collision at a stop sign. Your car was struck from
behind. However, one of your brake lights was malfunctioning. At your
Philadelphia civil trial, in this case, the jury determines that your broken
light was 20% to blame for the accident. The other driver’s conduct was held to
be 80% at fault. The jury awards a total of $80,000 of damages in the case.
Because of the modified comparative negligence rule, the $80,000 will be reduced
to $64,000. The $16,000 represents your 20% contribution to the accident.
OTHER PENNSYLVANIA LAWS AFFECTING PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS
Pennsylvania has a no-fault insurance system. Under this system, in nearly every
car accident, an injured person’s insurance provider will cover their medical
expenses and lost income. It does not matter who was at fault in the crash. A
passenger injured in an accident would turn to the insurance company of the
driver, no matter how the accident happened.
Most minor accidents in Philadelphia fall into this no-fault category. Drivers
who have a limited tort policy are not permitted to recover compensation for
their pain and suffering unless they meet a “serious injury” threshold. The term
“serious injury” appears vague. Under Pennsylvania law, a serious injury results
in death, severe impairment of the body’s functions, or permanent disfigurement.
A court, with the help of our experienced Philadelphia personal injury attorney,
will evaluate the evidence of your injury to determine the extent of the harm
you sustained. Catastrophic injuries, such as amputation, brain injuries, spinal
cord damage, or paralysis, are serious. A court will not prohibit compensation
for these types of injuries based on the threshold.
HOW LONG DOES A PERSONAL INJURY LAWSUIT TAKE IN PHILADELPHIA?
It is difficult to estimate exactly how long it will take your personal injury
claim to settle or go to trial. In some situations, it takes time to determine
what occurred, such as in a multi-vehicle accident with conflicting witness
testimony. Other cases involve unreasonable insurance companies or defendants
who drag procedural processes out for weeks, months, or even years.
The best thing an injured victim can do is retain dedicated legal
representation, such as the Reiff Law Firm. Our attorneys and staff committed to
representing your interests – no matter what hurdles present themselves.
SHOULD YOU TALK TO THE INSURANCE COMPANIES?
In nearly every personal injury case, the defendant will be represented by an
insurance company. One of the first things to do after an injury and before
filing a lawsuit is to contact any insurance provider included in the
proceedings. It is essential to know what policy limits are in place and what
type of recovery is available for our clients. Winning a personal injury lawsuit
is pointless if the defending party does not have the means to compensate you
for your losses.
If you suffered an injury, either in a car accident or slip and fall, the
insurance provider for the at-fault individual or company would likely want to
speak with you about the incident. Insurance companies have attorneys,
actuaries, and adjusters working for them, attempting to either deny your claim
or pay as little as possible when settling. It is important only to give basic
facts when talking with a claims adjuster. Even though they might come across as
friendly, they ask you very pointed questions trying to elicit a response that
puts your claim in jeopardy. A simple statement such as “I feel fine” could
compromise your position or provide evidence that your injuries are not as
severe as you claim. Our knowledgeable Philadelphia personal injury attorneys
will act as your agent and communicate with any insurance carriers involved in
the case. This allows you to concentrate on your medical treatment and healing
while our office works towards getting you the financial compensation you
deserve.
As stated above, one of the crucial elements in the early stages of a personal
injury claim is understanding the value of your claim. An insurance company will
not be calculating the value of your injury or any other damages you have
suffered in your favor. Often, they will base their medical costs on what their
doctors or accountants believe your treatment should cost – not the treatment
you require. Additionally, very few insurance providers will consider pain and
suffering in their settlement calculation. If they do, it will typically be a
standardized formula and not look at the actual effects of your injury. This is
another reason why it is vital to have the skilled attorneys from the Reiff Law
Firm representing your interests.
THE IMPORTANCE OF USING AN EXPERIENCED PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY
Another question many people have after suffering an injury is, “should I file a
lawsuit?” They might believe the accident was just that – an accident. Not
everyone realizes they were the victim of another person’s negligence. This
thought is not uncommon. While it is nearly impossible to provide a set guide to
whether you have a personal injury claim, the best thing to do is schedule a
free consultation and discuss your matter with a Philadelphia personal injury
attorney from the Reiff Law Firm. By reviewing how you were injured, our office
will be able to explain how the law would apply to your situation.
If you have been injured because of another’s negligence or carelessness, it is
essential to have a seasoned attorney fighting for your rights. Even if the case
seems cut and dry, many complications could arise that require a lawyer with a
vast amount of personal injury experience.
In many cases, the defendant will hire an attorney or will have an insurance
company working on their behalf. You do not want to face these obstacles without
competent legal advice. Insurance companies are not working for you and are
looking to avoid paying a settlement or paying as least as possible. Their
attorneys will look for every legal angle to deny your claim or shift the blame
on you. Even if they make an offer, you should not accept it without speaking
with someone from our office. If an insurance company has made a quick offer,
you can almost ensure that it was done to avoid a potential lawsuit or to stop
you from hiring an attorney. Without understanding the actual value of your
claim, you are not able to know whether the offer was fair. You do not want to
be up against an insurance company without our Philadelphia personal injury
attorney at your side, fighting for your rights.
