Victims have a right to file a personal injury claim or lawsuit against the person responsible for their injuries. The goal of a personal injury suit is to secure monetary payment for the economic and non-economic costs incurred by the accident. Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC’s personal injury attorneys in Reading are committed to recovering the maximum possible compensation for our clients.
We gather evidence to establish the economic losses you sustained because of the accident. Economic damages are losses that can be objectively verified through documentation and calculations. They may include:
Compensation for economic losses can help you and your family reestablish financial security after an unexpected injury.
Less tangible, but equally important, are the non-economic effects of a personal injury. Following an accident or mishap caused by someone else’s behavior, you may feel stress, anxious, and overwhelmed. You may be unable to engage in activities you once enjoyed. These losses are called non-economic damages. Our compassionate Reading personal injury attorneys will help you document and seek compensation for these damages, which may include:
A personal injury claim can be complicated, which is why you benefit from having a team of attorneys readily available to assist you. Our legal team has won numerous awards for excellence in the area of personal injury. Founded in 2005, we have years of experience representing personal injury victims.
We understand that a personal injury has considerable effects on your mental, physical, and financial health. Our team provides compassionate, attentive legal assistance from the moment you call for a consultation. You will always speak with an attorney for your initial case review.
Our lawyers understand how overwhelming a personal injury claim can be. We aim to make the process as stress-free as possible by maintaining constant communication.

While you recover from your injuries, we can take care of the legal work. As soon as you hire Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC, our team begins handling all communication, including emails, phone calls, and letters related to your injury claim. When we work on your personal injury claim, you can expect us to:
We gather information relating to your injury in order to establish fault, prove liability, and substantiate your damages. The type of evidence we gather differs depending on the circumstances of your case. Evidence we may collect includes:
Many personal injury cases involve multiple at-fault parties and insurance companies. To secure compensation, we must establish the negligence of all responsible parties based on the following four elements:
Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC’s dedicated Reading personal injury lawyers work to gather substantial evidence to build a strong case and hold all liable parties accountable for your injuries.
We file a claim with the appropriate insurance company and pursue the maximum possible settlement for your losses. Typically, an insurance claim will not include non-economic damages, and even economic damages may be capped by an insurance policy. Our team will assess the full scope of your losses and negotiate for a fair settlement to cover those damages.
If we cannot achieve a settlement that covers all your losses, we may recommend filing a personal injury lawsuit. By filing a lawsuit, we show the insurance company you are serious about securing fair compensation. This may encourage them to offer more favorable settlement terms. Filing a lawsuit also allows us to pursue additional compensation from the at-fault party and their insurance carrier.
Even after we file a lawsuit, many personal injury cases settle out of court. Insurance companies may find it more cost-effective to simply offer a higher settlement than expend time and resources on a trial.
Our personal injury lawyers in Reading prepare to take your case to trial from the beginning. We maintain a team of trial attorneys and litigators familiar with negotiations and court proceedings. No matter how complex your case is, we have the knowledge and resources to defend your right to seek maximum compensation after a personal injury.
When you work with Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC, you benefit from our years of personal injury experience. In our time representing Pennsylvanians, we’ve handled a wide range of personal injury cases, including:

Property owners have a legal obligation to protect people from unnecessary hazards on their premises. For example, they should ensure there are appropriate handrails on stairways or elevated areas to prevent visitors from falling. Following a slip, trip, or fall caused by a property owner’s negligence, Reading slip and fall attorneys can help you determine fault and file a claim against the responsible parties.
Accidents that involve semi-trucks are often severe, leading to catastrophic and sometimes deadly injuries. These cases can be complex, as there are often multiple parties and insurance companies involved. While you recover from your injuries, our Reading truck accident lawyers can compile evidence and file claims against the appropriate parties.
Pedestrian accidents and bicycle accidents can result in serious injuries with lifelong implications. Our personal injury lawyers can help you identify who is liable for your pedestrian or bicycle accident and guide you through the legal process to secure damages.

Our sympathetic wrongful death attorneys can help guide you through this process and answer any questions you have.
You must typically file personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits in Pennsylvania within two years of the date of injury. This time frame may vary widely depending on your case details. Avoid missing critical deadlines by contacting our Reading personal injury lawyers as soon as possible for a free case review.
