What Your Allentown Personal Injury Case Might Be Worth

Before you file your case, you need to know what you are filing for. Most cases include compensation for the injured party’s financial, physical, and emotional suffering.

Once we help you figure out what kinds of losses you sustained, we can go on to calculate a fair dollar amount for each loss. With our guidance, you can be sure that you ask for an appropriate amount and that you will not run out of money while you are still in need.

Examples of Personal Injury Damages You Can Collect

You and your family might qualify for any or all of the following:

• Pain and suffering: This refers to the physical and mental distress connected to the accident. Expressing such pain in monetary terms is not always easy, but we can help you do so.
• Loss of consortium: This means any diminishment or negative change in your relationship with one or more close relatives.
• Reduced quality of life: This includes the ways that your life has changed for the worse. You could qualify if you are no longer able to live alone, take care of yourself, take care of dependents, or enjoy family time.
• Medical expenses, both past and future: Since the at-fault party caused your injuries, their insurer should take on the responsibility of paying for all your treatments.
• Property damage: This generally refers to motor vehicle damage if you were injured in a car wreck, but you could potentially qualify based on other losses as well.
• Loss of income, past and future: Whatever wages or benefits you lost or anticipate losing because of your injuries, we can ask the insurer to reimburse you through a legal action.

Your Personal Injury Case Comes With an Expiration Date

Your case will not be worth anything if you do not file it within the legal deadline, found at 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5524(2). This statute says that you must start your case within two years of the accident. Cases filed after this date are probably not valid and therefore worth nothing.

Our Allentown personal injury lawyer urges you to begin your case as soon as possible so as not to put your rights at risk.

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.
