Get Compensation With Crafton Personal Injury Attorneys

If you or a loved one were injured due to another party’s negligent behavior, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and pain and suffering.

To learn more about your legal recourse options following an injury you suffered from an accident that was caused by someone else, call Berger and Green at (412) 661-1400. We can explain your legal situation and how a Crafton, PA personal injury lawyer can help.

Personal Injury Cases We Handle

When negligence is present following an accident in which you suffered injuries, a Crafton personal injury lawyer from Berger and Green can help you file either an insurance claim or a personal injury lawsuit for your specific type of case.

After your free case review, Berger and Green can help you view and outline your legal options so you can focus on healing while we work towards getting you the money you deserve to cover your damages.

There are a variety of personal injury cases you may be faced with, which may include:

• Animal attacks
• Bike accidents
• Carbon monoxide
• Car accidents
• Construction accidents
• Crane accidents
• Child injury accidents
• Cycling accidents
• Disfigurement injuries
• Dog bites
• Gas explosion accidents
• Hotel accidents
• Premises liability
• Medical malpractice
• Slip and falls
• Sexual abuse
• Truck accidents

Regardless of the type of personal injury claim you are dealing with, Berger and Green will likely have to prove negligence. The American Bar Association (ABA) describes negligence as “[the] basis for most personal injury lawsuits.”

How a Lawyer Can Help You

We want to help your family any way we can. A lawyer can help you in a variety of ways, including the following:

Proving Liability for Your Injuries

We will do this by proving that:

• The negligent driver had a duty of care to you. For example, drivers have a duty to operate their vehicles safely.
• The negligent driver violated this duty of care. A driver was texting behind the wheel.
• This violation caused or contributed to your accident. The texting driver did not see you crossing the street and hit you.
• The accident caused you losses (such as injuries or pain and suffering). The accident left you with medical bills, an inability to work, and pain and suffering.

Negotiate with Insurance Companies for You

A Crafton, PA personal injury lawyer from Berger and Green can walk you through talks with insurance companies while you heal from your injuries. Many insurance companies will look to pay personal injury victims as little as possible. At Berger and Green, it is our goal to see you secure a settlement offer. To avoid the costs of going to court, Berger and Green may be able to help you earn compensation from your personal injury claim outside the courtroom with a settlement offer.

Adhere to Statutes of Limitations

A personal injury lawsuit must be filed within two years of the accident, according to Pa. CSA § 5524. You may forfeit your right to pursue damages after this period of time. However, Berger and Green can help you identify some factors that may impact this time period. We may be able to take swift action to stay within this timeline.

Build Your Personal Injury Case

A lawyer can help you to build your case against a negligent party when you suffer injuries through no fault of your own with critical evidence.

Some examples of evidence we can collect as we build your case include:

• Medical documents
• Surveillance video
• Photographs
• Police reports
• Eyewitness statements

With this evidence, Berger and Green can identify and build a case against a potentially liable party.

It is important to act as soon as possible following your injury so our team of personal injury lawyers can prove negligence, liability, and related damages that you directly suffered from. Call Berger and Green at (412) 661-1400. After your free consultation, Berger and Green can reach out to you and your family for potential next steps.

Recoverable Damages in Personal Injury Cases

Following a personal injury, you may be left with a variety of damages that are affecting both your health and your family’s economic situation. Your recoverable damages can vary depending on your accident, injuries, and the evidence we have on file. For instance, if you suffer from a slip and fall injury at a grocery store, you may not have property damages to qualify for when you submit a claim.

Here are a variety of damages you may be entitled to:

• Medical costs (current or future), e.g., hospitalization costs, prescription medications, copays, emergency transportation costs
• Lost wages, for any hours your injuries takes you away from your work
• Limited earning capacity, if your injuries will affect your ability to work in the future
• Related expenses
• Loss of consortium
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage
• Mental anguish

Our team will determine the value of your case and fight for a fair settlement on your behalf. If the other party’s insurer fails to offer you a just settlement, we are not afraid to take your case to trial.
