Personal Injury Cases We Handle 

Our attorneys handle a wide range of types of injuries from vehicle accidents to those needing the assistance of our slip and fall attorneys in Philadelphia. Please understand that the following list is not exhaustive, and if you have been injured due to the negligence of another individual or entity, reach out to an attorney so we can discuss every aspect of your case with you:

• Car accidents: Car accidents are one of the most common causes of personal injuries in Philadelphia. These incidents can occur in a wide variety of ways, often due to another driver’s distracted driving, impaired driving, failure to obey traffic laws, speeding, etc. Whether minor or severe, accidents can become complicated when working to recover compensation from insurance carriers. 
• Truck accidents: Accidents involving larger commercial trucks typically result in much more severe injuries and property damage than traditional vehicle crashes. Often, truck accidents are caused by the careless or negligent actions of either the truck driver or the trucking company, and these other parties must be held liable.
• Motorcycle accidents: Motorcyclists are much more vulnerable on the roadway than traditional vehicle drivers, even if they are wearing a helmet. An impact with a much heavier motor vehicle can lead to catastrophic injuries. Motorcyclists are often ignored on the roadway by other drivers, which can lead to devastating incidents.
• Bus accidents: Just like truck accidents, bus accidents can result in significant injuries due to the sheer size and weight of these vehicles. These injuries can occur to the passengers on the bus as well as to those in other vehicles. Our team often handles accidents involving public transport buses as well as privately owned bus lines.
• Rideshare accidents: Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are a very common sight throughout Philadelphia. However, recovering compensation after an accident involving a rideshare vehicle can be complicated. The insurance companies involved have complex “tiers,” which means coverage will depend on the status of the rideshare driver at the time the incident occurred.
• Bicycle and pedestrian accidents: Bicyclists and pedestrians are also considered vulnerable roadway users. Any type of collision with a heavier motor vehicle is likely to lead to a severe injury for a pedestrian or bicyclist, though navigating the insurance issues after these incidents is challenging.
• Dog bite injuries: Dogs can inflict severe injuries with their jaws, and victims must have a way to recover compensation. Pennsylvania is a strict liability dog bite state which means that the owners and keepers of a dog will have to pay the victim’s medical costs so long as the bite occurred on public property or private property where the victim had the right to be, even if the dog owner was not negligent. 
• Workplace injuries: Individuals who sustain workplace injuries should be able to recover compensation for their losses. Almost all employees in Pennsylvania are covered through the state’s workers’ compensation system, but there are times when employers or insurance carriers deny a claim when they shouldn’t.
• Negligent security: Negligent security can include a variety of issues, including not having physical security guards, failing to have working surveillance cameras, doors or windows that do not lock properly, and more.
• Construction accidents: The construction industry is incredibly dangerous. Anytime a construction worker in Philadelphia sustains an injury, they should be able to recover compensation through the state’s workers’ compensation system. Additionally, there are often third parties involved at construction sites, which could open the door to third-party personal injury lawsuits to recover additional types of compensation.
• Medical malpractice: Medical mistakes can include prescription errors, early discharge, misdiagnosis, surgical errors, anesthesia errors, and more. Anytime a medical professional fails to uphold an adequate standard of medical care, and a patient is harmed, individuals should be able to recover compensation for their losses.
• Mass tort claims: Anytime a negligent act or omission causes harm or injuries to numerous people, a mass tort claim could arise. Some of the most common types of mashed tort claims include groundwater contamination, pollution, commercial plane accidents, defective medication claims, etc.

This is certainly not a complete list of the types of injuries that we help clients within Philadelphia. If you or somebody you care about has been injured due to the negligent actions of another individual or entity, we encourage you to reach out to a skilled lawyer immediately so we can begin working on your claim.

Types Of Damages Available In A Philadelphia Personal Injury Case

There may be a wide range of types of compensation available for your Philadelphia personal injury claim. Our skilled attorneys work hard to recover both economic and non-economic losses on behalf of every client that we help. 

• Economic damages. Economic damages are also regularly referred to as “special damages.” these are the types of calculable losses that personal injury victims in Philadelphia are likely to sustain. We use the word “calculable” because personal injury victims and their attorneys will typically be able to accurately calculate these expenses because there are bills, receipts, pay stubs, and other direct solid types of evidence that give a dollar amount. Some of the most common economic damages Philadelphia personal injury victims incur include:
  • Medical expenses
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation
  • Lost income
  • Out-of-pocket expenses
  • Property damage expenses
• Non-economic damages. Non-economic damages are also referred to as “general damages.” These types of expenses are less calculable because there are no direct bills or receipts that we can gather and add up to reach a total. However, even though these types of damages are more intangible, they are certainly real. Some of the most common types of non-economic damages a Philadelphia personal injury victim incurs include:
  • Emotional and psychological trauma
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Loss of consortium for a spouse or family members
