Our Bensalem, PA, Personal Injury Lawyers Seek Fair Compensation for Injured Clients
When someone suffers an injury in Bensalem, they may receive care in Philadelphia, Langhorne, or elsewhere in Lower Bucks County. Those with the most serious injuries—often life-altering and disabling—may require stabilization before an ambulance or medevac transfer to a designated trauma center. Level I trauma centers nearby include Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and Temple University Hospital. These facilities ensure those hurt in Bensalem have access to emergency and specialized trauma care for severe injuries. Our personal injury lawyers manage a wide range of cases, including many involving catastrophic injuries. We can begin working on your case while you are still undergoing treatment and rehabilitation at one of these facilities or receiving care and therapies at home.
Identifying, Documenting, and Recovering Expenses and Losses
The cost of care for serious injuries, in addition to other concurrent expenses and losses, is often overwhelming. While you continue to recover, our team can begin identifying and documenting the recoverable damages in your case. This could include:
- Medical Care: The current and future cost of care and support for injuries
- Lost Income: Loss of income from missing work and diminished earning ability if you have lasting impairments
- Property Damage: Repair or replacement of personal property damaged in the accident

Our Bensalem Injury Lawyers Manage a Range of Case Types
At Kalikhman & Rayz, we represent victims hurt by someone else’s negligence. If someone owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and this caused an accident and injuries, you were a victim of negligence. Our personal injury attorneys know how to document that negligence occurred and hold the at-fault party accountable based on it.
As we go about our daily lives, we do not consider all the parties who owe us a duty of care and who we trust with our safety. For example, other drivers have a duty to obey all traffic laws and property owners must keep their premises free from unreasonable hazards. A failure to do so could cause injuries and support a negligence case.
Some common types of negligence cases that our Bensalem, PA, personal injury lawyers handle include:
- Car accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Truck accidents
- Pedestrian and bicycle accident
- Slip and falls and other fall injuries
- Wrongful death accidents
- Other negligence injuries
What Are My Options After a Bensalem Car Accident?
Under 75 Pa. C.S.A. § 1705, Pennsylvania lawmakers outline how car insurance works in Bensalem and elsewhere in the Commonwealth. This is a complex law that generally states:
- No-fault car insurance, known as limited tort coverage, is available
- However, drivers can opt out of the no-fault system and purchase full tort coverage
When you are hurt in a crash, this could mean you are limited to filing a no-fault claim based on your own limited tort coverage, stepping outside of that coverage if you have serious injuries, or filing a fault-based claim because you carry full tort coverage.
Our law firm can review your case and explain your options. Many of the cases we handle involve serious car accident injuries. We represent clients and fight for their opportunity to recover maximum compensation in these cases. Contact us today to learn more about your rights and legal options.
Proving Negligence and Liability in a Bensalem Personal Injury Case
To hold another party accountable and recover compensation for you, we must have strong evidence to show negligence and liability. We must be able to tell the story about what happened and the role the at-fault party played. This is the only way to compel their insurance company to pay or to convince the jury to award compensation.
This evidence varies widely from case to case, especially when the injuries occurred in different types of accidents. Our attorneys and firm investigators understand the types of evidence generally available and how we can use it to support our quest for maximum compensation.
Once we have evidentiary support for your claim or lawsuit, we can implement our legal strategy and seek a payout through:
- Negotiation: Most cases settle. We negotiate a fair settlement with the liable party or their insurance company, recovering an agreed-on amount for our client.
- Litigation: We sue the at-fault party in civil court and prepare the case for trial. Unless we negotiate a settlement before the trial date, we will present the case to the judge and/or jury at trial and ask for a verdict on our client’s behalf.
When Should I Hire a Bensalem, PA, Injury Lawyer to Handle My Case?
Pennsylvania law generally gives injured victims up to two years to sue the liable party or parties in their cases under 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5524(2). This also applies to wrongful death cases. However, filing a lawsuit is generally a part of a much larger legal strategy that must be put into motion well before this deadline arrives.

FAQs
Can I recover damages if a poorly maintained Bensalem township road caused my accident?
If a pothole, obscured stop sign, or lack of proper drainage on a township-maintained road caused your injury, you may have a claim against the municipality. However, claims against government agencies in Pennsylvania are governed by the Tort Claims Act, which provides “sovereign immunity” in many cases. There are specific exceptions for “dangerous conditions of Commonwealth real estate and highways.” Most importantly, you must file a formal Notice of Claim within six months of the incident, or you may be barred from seeking recovery.
How does the “Minor’s Tolling Statute” work for children injured in Bensalem?
If a child is injured (for instance, in a bicycle accident or at a daycare), the standard two-year statute of limitations is “tolled” (paused). Under 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5533, the two-year clock does not start until the child reaches the age of 18. This means a claim can technically be filed until the individual’s 20th birthday. However, we strongly advise against waiting, as physical evidence and witness memories at the local scene will fade long before the child reaches adulthood.
Are there caps on how much money I can recover in a Bensalem injury lawsuit?
In Pennsylvania, there are no caps on economic or non-economic damages for most personal injury cases. This means you can recover the full value of your medical expenses and pain and suffering regardless of the amount. However, there are exceptions: claims against a government entity (like the Commonwealth or a local municipality) are capped by statute. Additionally, while compensatory damages are not capped, punitive damages, which are rare and intended to punish extreme recklessness, are generally capped at two times the amount of actual damages.
What factors could cause my personal injury settlement in Bensalem to be lower than expected?
Several legal “invisible” factors can impact your final payout. The most common is insurance policy limits; if the at-fault party only carries the Pennsylvania state minimum of $15,000 and has no personal assets, your recovery may be capped at that amount unless you have Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage. Other factors include your tort election (Limited vs. Full Tort) on your own auto policy and your percentage of fault. If a personal injury attorney cannot disprove allegations that you were partially responsible, your total award will be reduced by your percentage of negligence under the state’s comparative fault rules.
