Victims have a right to file a personal injury claim or lawsuit against the person responsible for their injuries. The goal of a personal injury suit is to secure monetary payment for the economic and non-economic costs incurred by the accident. Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC’s personal injury attorneys in Reading are committed to recovering the maximum possible compensation for our clients.
We gather evidence to establish the economic losses you sustained because of the accident. Economic damages are losses that can be objectively verified through documentation and calculations. They may include:
Compensation for economic losses can help you and your family reestablish financial security after an unexpected injury.
Less tangible, but equally important, are the non-economic effects of a personal injury. Following an accident or mishap caused by someone else’s behavior, you may feel stress, anxious, and overwhelmed. You may be unable to engage in activities you once enjoyed. These losses are called non-economic damages. Our compassionate Reading personal injury attorneys will help you document and seek compensation for these damages, which may include:
A personal injury claim can be complicated, which is why you benefit from having a team of attorneys readily available to assist you.

We gather information relating to your injury in order to establish fault, prove liability, and substantiate your damages. The type of evidence we gather differs depending on the circumstances of your case. Evidence we may collect includes:
Many personal injury cases involve multiple at-fault parties and insurance companies. To secure compensation, we must establish the negligence of all responsible parties based on the following four elements:
Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC’s dedicated Reading personal injury lawyers work to gather substantial evidence to build a strong case and hold all liable parties accountable for your injuries.
We file a claim with the appropriate insurance company and pursue the maximum possible settlement for your losses. Typically, an insurance claim will not include non-economic damages, and even economic damages may be capped by an insurance policy. Our team will assess the full scope of your losses and negotiate for a fair settlement to cover those damages.
If we cannot achieve a settlement that covers all your losses, we may recommend filing a personal injury lawsuit. By filing a lawsuit, we show the insurance company you are serious about securing fair compensation. This may encourage them to offer more favorable settlement terms. Filing a lawsuit also allows us to pursue additional compensation from the at-fault party and their insurance carrier.
Even after we file a lawsuit, many personal injury cases settle out of court. Insurance companies may find it more cost-effective to simply offer a higher settlement than expend time and resources on a trial.
Our personal injury lawyers in Reading prepare to take your case to trial from the beginning. We maintain a team of trial attorneys and litigators familiar with negotiations and court proceedings. No matter how complex your case is, we have the knowledge and resources to defend your right to seek maximum compensation after a personal injury.
You must typically file personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits in Pennsylvania within two years of the date of injury. This time frame may vary widely depending on your case details. Avoid missing critical deadlines by contacting our Reading personal injury lawyers as soon as possible for a free case review.
We are available 24/7 to answer your questions and help you make an educated decision about your next steps. If we take on your case, we will handle it on a contingency basis, so you will not pay anything for our services until and unless we win. Call Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC today to get started.
