Injured in Philadelphia? 
Our Philly personal injury lawyers can help.

Here’s what our clients have to say about us

What is Personal Injury Law?

Personal injury law allows a person to file a civil lawsuit in court to recover damages and losses after another party causes them harm. There are a number of situations where personal injury law may apply, including (but not limited to): accidental, negligent, or careless behavior, intentional acts of harm, a defective product that causes injury to the user, or a defamatory statement causing harm. Most personal injury cases are based on negligence and require proof of negligence.

What are my injuries worth?

Every injury claim is unique. People with a very similar injury may have a different ‘value’ for a similar appearing claim. Was your condition made worse due to other medical conditions you have? Did the injuries cause you to lose time from work, miss out on other financial opportunities, or cause other economic losses (such as out of pocket costs for treatment)? These questions are just a small fraction of the many issues that impact how much your particular claim is worth.

Do personal injury lawsuits settle or go to court?

Every personal injury lawsuit in Pennsylvania is different. Sometimes, simply filing a lawsuit on an injury victim’s behalf is enough to prompt the person or company being sued to settle a case before trial. Other times, accident cases proceed to trial and are decided by a judge or jury. If your personal injury case does go to trial, it’s critical that you have an attorney who thoroughly understands the legal system in your part of Pennsylvania.

How long should I wait before I contact a lawyer about my accident?

Contact us immediately. It’s always better to contact Kalikhman & Rayz as soon as possible after an accident. If you wait too long, you may lose your right to initiate legal proceedings. The statute of limitations in Pennsylvania means you only have a short window of time for taking legal action on many personal injury claims. In addition, the sooner you contact us, the sooner we can start researching your case. Prompt action is critical because the evidence may soon disappear, especially in the case of industrial accidents, dog bites and slip and fall accidents.

By contacting an experienced Philly personal injury attorney immediately after your injury, you will not only get the help you need to obtain compensation for any injuries or loss, but you increase your chances of a fast and favorable settlement.
