Were you or someone you love injured in an accident caused by negligence, carelessness, or recklessness? If you were, you could have the right to compensation. We can help. Our New Kensington personal injury lawyer will help you identify the at-fault party and the negligence that caused your accident.

At Berger and Green, we fight hard to help you recover damages for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We also deal with the insurance company, so you don’t have to. While we take care of building your case, you can focus on getting better.

Our Law Firm Can Help You Build a Strong Case for Financial Compensation

Our law firm will compile evidence, consult medical experts, and obtain relevant reports to support your claim. We compile the evidence into a case file and use it to negotiate a fair and appropriate settlement. We will also:

• Calculate your damages to give your case a value
• Handle all case-related communication
• Prepare and file your lawsuit, if necessary
• Comply with all notification and filing deadlines

We know how hard it is to feel in the dark about your case, so we provide you with updates as we receive them.

Berger and Green Will Prove the At-Fault Party’s Financial Liability

When you pursue an at-fault party for financial compensation, you have to prove their negligence led to the incident. Our team’s familiarity with state and local law means we know how to prove:

• The at-fault party owed you a duty of care. For example, the responsible party is the property owner at your apartment home.
• They breached their duty of care. The property owner didn’t post warnings about an unsafe stairwell they knew was dangerous.
• Their negligence caused the incident. You had an accident because you were uninformed about the danger of the stairwell.
• The incident has harmed you. You suffered injuries and other losses as a result of the incident.

Proving these required components of negligence can be difficult on your own. It can be even more difficult if you are simultaneously recovering from injuries. Let our law firm handle it for you. We will thoroughly investigate your accident and compile the supporting evidence you need.

Recover Damages for Your Injuries and Related Expenses

Pennsylvania personal injury laws allow you to pursue a negligent person or entity for the following damages after an accident:

• Past and future medical bills
• Past and future lost wages
• Property damage or total loss of property
• Physical impairment
• Loss of independence
• Physical disfigurement
• Pain and suffering
• Mental anguish
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life

Wrongful Death Compensation

If you lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence, we are so sorry for your loss. We know how impactful it can be to lose someone, not just personally but financially.

Families can recover wrongful death damages (in most cases, the loved one’s parents, spouse, and children). Our legal team will help you recover funeral and burial costs as well as compensation for your loved one’s lost income.

How Our Kensington Personal Injury Lawyer Builds Your Case File

When we build your case file, we make sure it contains:

• Medical records that document your injuries
• Medical bills that document your treatment costs
• Employment records that prove your loss of income, if applicable
• Witness statements that prove objective details, if applicable

We also collect accident scene and injury photos that substantiate your claims when available. We include the appropriate report because it may contain valuable information. It can identify the at-fault party, provide key contact details, and may include theories about the causes and contributing factors of the incident.

Personal Injury Statutes of Limitations in New Kensington, PA

The statute of limitations puts a time limit on your case for the state in which your accident occurred.

According to Pa. C.S.A. § 5524, in Pennsylvania, you generally have:

• Two years from the date of the accident to file your personal injury lawsuit
• Two years from the date of a loved one’s demise to file your wrongful death lawsuit

If the applicable statute of limitations expires, you could be left with no legal avenue to pursue compensation. When our law firm represents you, we will not let that happen. The sooner you put us to work on your case, the more time we have to ensure compliance and conduct a thorough investigation.
