Personal Injury Lawyer in Philadelphia

Let Us Handle Your Philadelphia Personal Injury Case

Personal injury can encompass many types of accidents and injuries, and they can happen to anyone. Any person could be left to deal with the aftermath of someone else’s careless and negligent actions. At our firm, we know just how devastating these accidents can be, and we firmly believe victims deserve a chance to hold someone accountable for their actions. We help people with:

Car Accidents

With 8,714 crashes in 2022, it’s easy to see that Philadelphia County residents are at risk of an accident on the road. Many accidents stem from the behavior of other drivers, and defensive driving cannot always protect you from the careless actions of others. Common causes of car accidents in Philly include:

• Drunk driving or driving while under the influence of drugs
• Distracted driving or drowsy driving
• Speeding
• Reckless driving or aggressive driving
• Breaking other road laws, like making unsafe lane changes or ignoring traffic signals and signs
• Road conditions and weather

A car accident in Philadelphia can be tricky to manage on your own. Not only are you trying to recover, dealing with doctors, and struggling with your bills, but now you have to field calls from insurance adjustors who may not want to offer you fair compensation. 

Additionally, Pennsylvania auto insurance laws are quite complex. Drivers can choose between limited tort and full tort coverage, and it makes an already fraught situation even more complicated. Limited tort coverage only allows victims to sue if their injuries are “serious,” but it can be difficult to determine what qualifies as “serious.” This coverage does not pay for non-economic damages; you can only pursue these losses if you are able to file a lawsuit. 

With nuanced laws and constant back and forth, you may not know where to start. Our lawyers have helped Philly residents dealing with personal injuries for almost two decades, and we can help you with your car accident case.

Slip and Fall

When you’ve been hurt due to someone else’s negligence in Philadelphia, the injuries can be severe. A simple slip and fall can lead to anything from fractures to head trauma and paralysis and completely turn your life upside down. Some cases maintain a clear liability, while others are more complex. We recommend calling Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC to represent you because:

• Slip and fall accidents are not always clear, and property owners and insurance companies are not readily willing to accept fault. 
• Defendants will argue your injuries are not as bad as you claimed. 
• Slip and fall accidents are challenging because they require evidence showing the property owner was negligent.

Our slip and fall attorneys will help you establish fault by going over the details of your accident, examining the scene, and collecting medical records of your injuries. They will also review state, federal, and local laws to see if the property owner violated any regulations. The slip and fall attorney can also consult experts to build your case.

If you’ve suffered injuries from a slip and fall accident in an office, restaurant, retail store, bank, or other public space, our team of slip and fall attorneys will guide you through every step of the personal injury claims process. We’re well-equipped to negotiate a settlement that meets your needs.

Truck Accidents

Any vehicle accident is stressful, but those involving a truck can a different level of stress. Insurers of big companies count on you feeling overwhelmed and intimidated, and they may offer you a pitiful settlement for all the harm you’ve suffered and are still dealing with.

Our truck accident lawyers are not afraid to go up against these parties to fight for what you’re owed. We’ll determine which party or parties were liable for the accident and make sure we seek every penny you need and deserve. We know how state and federal trucking laws can impact your case, and we’ll make sure to account for every contingency.

Motorcycle, Bicycle, and Pedestrian Accidents

No one is more vulnerable to negligent drivers than bicyclists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians. Drivers who fail to uphold their duty of care on the road can cause catastrophic harm and even death. If you are a victim of one of these accidents, or you are a surviving family member of such a collision, we are prepared to help you through this ordeal.

Workplace Injury and Workers Compensation

When you sustain an injury while working, you’re often left with a mountain of medical bills, pain, and worry. You’re concerned about being able to take care of your family, and your need for rest gets placed on the back burner. Instead of worrying about the future, partner with an experienced work injury attorney. Our Philadelphia personal injury lawyers can fight for monetary and medical compensation while you focus on healing.

Whether your work injury is minor or severe, our team of work injury lawyers will navigate the complexities of workers’ compensation to get you what you need to recover and move on to the next stage of life. We will deal with the insurance companies on your behalf so that you can focus on what’s important: healing.

Medical Malpractice 

We naturally trust our doctors and hospitals to provide the care we need and protect our well-being. Unfortunately, healthcare providers fail to offer care to the highest standard. Whether they are undertrained, in a hurry, or exhausted, they can make mistakes, leaving patients in need of greater care and with significant amounts of suffering.

If you or a loved one is harmed due to the negligence of healthcare providers, trust our Philadelphia medical malpractice attorneys to get you the compensation you deserve. We will work tirelessly to hold the responsible party accountable for events like misdiagnosis, birth injuries, surgical errors, and medication errors.

Wrongful Death

Many of the above accidents can prove to be fatal. If you are coming to us in the aftermath of a fatal accident, please accept our sincerest condolences. The loss of a loved one is never easy, but we strive to provide compassionate and personalized care during this difficult time. Please give Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC a call so our wrongful death lawyers can get to work for you.
