Many of our clients suffer serious or catastrophic injuries, leading to months of therapy to recover and regain abilities. Some people live with lasting impairments because of their injuries. Some of the most serious injuries we see include:
With significant injuries comes the need for months or even years of treatment, care, and support. At the same time, victims miss work and may not be able to return due to new disabilities. The costs and losses compound quickly.
Even families with financial stability and a strong foundation could face challenges under these circumstances. Recovering money in a personal injury claim or lawsuit ensures you have access to care and support, money to pay your bills, and cash for related expenses. The recoverable damages in these cases often include:
Our team of lawyers also includes Upper Darby wrongful death attorneys. If your loved one died from their injuries, your family can seek compensation for your losses based on 42 Pa. C.S.A. Section 8301. Contact us today to learn more.
Our attorneys handle a wide range of accident cases, including:
Almost all serious injury cases in Upper Darby, PA, involve negligence. One party acts carelessly or recklessly and causes another to suffer injuries. We aim to hold the at-fault party accountable and recover fair compensation for the victims of these incidents.
Negligence occurs only when four elements are present. We must document these four elements to hold a negligent party accountable. They include:
Many other parties owe you a duty of care. You might also owe others a duty of care. For example, motorists owe others a duty of care to follow all traffic laws and drive carefully. Property owners owe customers and guests a duty of care to keep a safe premises and eliminate dangerous hazards.
When one of these parties breaches their duty of care, it can cause an accident or incident. This is when injuries occur. Victims often suffer physical, emotional, and financial harm.
When we can provide evidence that the four elements of negligence were present, we can generally hold the negligent party liable. That is, they are legally accountable for the victim’s injuries and losses. Sometimes, other parties might share in the fault or be vicariously liable, too. Our attorneys will explain if this occurs in your case.
Our legal team includes investigators who understand how to identify, preserve, and analyze evidence to determine what happened and who is liable for our client’s injuries. The types of evidence available in these cases depend greatly on the type of negligence accident and the unique case facts.
Some examples of evidence we might use to compel an insurance company to pay our client’s claim or a jury to issue a verdict in our favor include:
After we develop a strong legal strategy and have the evidence necessary to support our case, our attorneys are ready to negotiate or litigate the case. Many cases settle without requiring a lawsuit or going to trial. Others settle during the early stages of litigation. Some we need to take to a jury trial and ask for a verdict and court award for our client.
We encourage all injured parties in Upper Darby Township to call our team as soon as possible. We can begin work on your case as soon as you hire us, even if you are still receiving inpatient care for your injuries.
When we begin work on a case earlier, it allows us to better protect your rights, preserve crucial evidence that might otherwise be lost, and take over all communication with the involved parties and insurance companies. This should provide you the peace of mind to focus on healing while we take care of the rest.
Pennsylvania law, 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5524(2), gives most victims up to two years to sue for personal injury or wrongful death. You must meet this and other applicable deadlines to protect your right to seek fair compensation. Our attorneys will ensure you meet this deadline as long as you hire our team in time to do so.
