You may have suffered several losses after your accident, including debt and ongoing expenses. For example, if you suffered a permanent impairment, you may require medical care for the rest of your life, but you shouldn’t have to foot the bill for someone else’s negligence.
We account for all your damages, including your future expenses and non-economic losses. Some examples of awards we can seek include:
- Medical bills, including diagnostic testing, surgeries, doctor’s visits, specialists, medication, and medical equipment
- Lost wages, including missed bonuses, benefits, and paid leave
- Reduced earning capacity if you cannot earn your pre-injury income
- Pain and suffering for your physical pain and emotional turmoil
We can use various pieces of evidence to demonstrate your losses. We may use your medical bills, wage statements, and expert witness testimony to support our estimates to the insurer, judge, or jury. Our goal is to account for everything you’ve lost and will continue to lose as a result of your accident, so your settlement can make you whole for your losses.
Wrongful Death Damages
If you lost a loved one in an accident, we are so sorry for your loss. We know it can be difficult to take legal action while you’re mourning a tragedy, but our team is prepared to take on the burden of filing and pursuing compensation for you. When someone dies, two claims are generated-wrongful death and a survival action. If you’re struggling financially from this loss, we aim to help restore your equilibrium. In a wrongful death claim, we can demand damages you have incurred due to your loved one’s passing like:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Lost wages and benefits, including your loved one’s lost future earnings
- Loss of your loved one’s household services, guidance, and companionship
A survival claim can also be pursued on your departed loved one’s behalf. This action accounts for damages your loved one incurred from the time of the incident until their death. These damages can include their pain and suffering and hospital/medical expenses.
If you’re unsure whether you qualify to file a wrongful death/survival claim lawsuit, our team can determine your eligibility during your free consultation.
You need an attorney with the experience and dedication to give your case the care it deserves.
Start A Free EvaluationWe Can Help You Meet Your Deadline for Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit
You do not have an unlimited amount of time to file a personal injury lawsuit. According to Pa. C.S.A. § 5524, you generally have two years to take legal action against a liable party. If you miss this deadline, the court could dismiss your case. Some exceptions may shorten this timeline, depending on your circumstances.
Do not miss your chance to hold the responsible party accountable. When you begin working with our firm, we can track and fulfill these important deadlines. We can also advise you on possible exceptions to the statute of limitations in your case.
We can address all the legal hurdles that may be keeping you from getting a fair settlement.

Nothing is more important than your health after an accident. You should see a doctor as soon as possible, even if you did not require emergency care. You may have injuries with latent symptoms. Delaying or forgoing medical care could worsen them. This, in turn, could lead an insurer to undervalue or outright deny your claim.
Additionally, make sure you follow through with any doctor-prescribed treatment plan. This will help you reach your maximum medical recovery and prevent an insurer from saying that you contributed to your losses.
