Personal Injury Lawyer Allentown

Why Hire an Allentown Personal Injury Attorney?

There are many reasons why a person might want to hire a legal representative to assist with a personal injury case. Some of the most common reasons are:

• You have enough to deal with—including physical pain, doctor’s visits, and concerns over your career—without adding responsibility for a legal case on top of everything.
• You want a professional at your side to guide you through a complicated legal matter.
• You suspect that the at-fault party’s insurance company will not treat you fairly, so you would appreciate the support that our firm can give in the fight against them.

How Might an Insurer Fight Your Allentown Case?

It is an unfortunate fact that most insurers are more concerned with increasing their own profits than in helping people in need. Our team is well aware of the tactics that insurance companies often use to deny injured parties a fair payout. We are prepared to deal with challenges like the following:

• Under 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 7102, you can only recover compensation if you are less than 50 percent responsible for the accident. The insurer might try to exaggerate your level of responsibility so as to get out of paying you.
• The insurer may try to argue that your injuries and losses were caused by some other event not related to their client’s negligence. Alternately, they might claim their client was not negligent at all.
• The insurer might deliberately take their time about responding to your claim. They hope that, by making the process longer and more difficult, you will eventually give up.
• They may question how we have calculated your settlement amount and push you to accept less than you really deserve.

We Handle Many Kinds of Personal Injury Cases in Allentown

We understand that personal injuries can happen in many different settings and in a variety of ways. The legal team at our Allentown office can manage cases involving:

Motor Vehicle Accidents That Occur in and Around Allentown

A single bad decision from a reckless driver—for example, choosing to exceed the speed limit or change lanes without signaling—can cause a serious crash with lifelong consequences. Our Allentown car accident lawyer can help you sue the driver or any other liable party, such as:

• An auto part manufacturer
• A negligent mechanic
• A local government agency (local governments are typically responsible for repairing roadways)

Allentown Slip and Fall Accidents

You likely spend a good part of your day on other people’s property, whether you are picking the kids up from school or shopping at a big box store. The owners and managers of these properties have a duty to:

• Post warning signs about hazards they cannot address right away
• Regularly look over the property for potential dangers and take care of them promptly (e.g., putting down ice melt when it is below freezing, mopping spills, and repairing broken handrails)
• Hire responsible people to help them care for the property, as necessary

Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents

Car accidents are already dangerous for drivers, but pedestrian and bicyclists are especially vulnerable to harm. We can hold negligent drivers liable for this harm and get you the crucial compensation you need to recover from your severe injuries and losses.

Wrongful Death Cases

Many personal injury accidents can be fatal to victims. If this happened to your loved one, please accept our deepest condolences. Your family deserve compensation for what you’re going through, and the other party deserves to be held responsible for their behaviors. 

Don’t hesitate to seek our help for these and other personal injury cases. We will fight to get you what you need.
