You Don’t Pay Unless We Win Your Case

Understanding the Value of Your Philadelphia Personal Injury Case
The amount of financial compensation you may receive depends entirely on your injuries. Damages, which are the calculable harms you’ve suffered and will suffer, are determined by assigning a monetary value to the totality of your losses.
Damages in personal injury cases in Pennsylvania include:
- Medical bills
- Medical equipment
- Modifications of home and vehicle to accommodate serious injury
- Loss of wages, including future wages
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of consortium
Your life and livelihood matter, and you might be entitled to significant financial recourse if someone else’s negligence was the cause of your injury. Don’t let medical expenses exhaust you and your family members when you have a claim for financial compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our personal injury law firm strives to keep our clients in the loop by providing frequent case updates and answering any questions that come our way. The following are a few of the common ones we receive.
How long do I have to file an injury case in Pennsylvania?
The statute of limitations for personal injury cases is two years in Pennsylvania. Courts want to encourage litigants to file their cases early when evidence is fresh, and witness recollection is more reliable. That’s why it’s vital to contact an experienced attorney promptly.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
Our law firm will take your case on a contingency fee basis. This means our service fees come out of the settlement or verdict you receive. If we don’t win or settle your case, you won’t be responsible for paying attorney fees.
What if I am partially to blame for my accident?
In Philadelphia, you may be able to collect compensation if you are less than 51% at fault for the injury. This rule comes from a theory known as “comparative negligence.”
Our skilled attorneys can help you understand how your share of fault could affect the compensation you’re eligible to receive.
How long do I have to wait to receive compensation?
It depends on your case. If the situation is fairly straightforward, a settlement could be reached within days or weeks. Sometimes, it may take years for accident victims to see their compensation.
Do I need a lawyer?
In many cases, you will need an attorney to successfully prosecute a personal injury claim. There are times, however, when you may not need one, such as when the claim is straightforward, and the insurance company is cooperative.
With that being said, seeking legal advice through a free consultation is a good idea, regardless of how you decide to handle your case.
What constitutes a valid personal injury claim?
In order to sue someone for injuring you, your Philadelphia personal injury lawyer has to establish certain elements.
Put simply, your claim must show that you suffered an injury due to someone’s breach of duty. For example, a motorist owes the public the duty not to drive negligently. If the driver drives negligently and hits a pedestrian, the pedestrian can sue.
In some instances, determining liability is simple, especially in cases involving only two parties—the injured and the injurer. However, many cases involve multiple parties, all of whom will have lawyers fighting to reduce their percentage of the fault.
