Delaware County Personal Injury Attorney
You may have been the victim of an auto accident—whether you were in a passenger vehicle, a truck, a motorcycle, a bicycle, or were a pedestrian in Media PA or parts of Delaware County. While occasionally, an accident is just an accident, more often, accidents—particularly auto accidents—are the result of negligence on the part of a driver.
Negligence means the driver acted in a way a reasonably prudent driver would not have or failed to act in a way that a reasonably prudent driver would have acted. You may have been the victim of an auto accident on one of the major highways or Interstates in Delaware County, PA, such as I-95, I-476, US 30, US 322, PA 261, or PA 3. Or, perhaps you were on a rural road or city street—such as Manoa Road, Steel Road, Eagle Road, Coopertown Road, or State Road—when a negligent driver caused your injuries.
Your accident might not have been an auto accident. You may have suffered injuries while walking through a construction zone, could have suffered a slip and fall in a local grocery store, restaurant, or bar, might have been bitten by a dog as you were running errands or playing with your children in a park, or perhaps you were the victim of medical malpractice.
No matter what type or what level of injuries you were left with, or what type of accident caused those injuries, if your accident was the result of negligence on the part of another person or entity, you are entitled to compensation for your injuries. If you find yourself in this situation, perhaps unable to pay your medical expenses (or even your regular monthly payments if you are unable to return to work), you need help. You need a Delaware County personal injury attorney that has the necessary resources and experience to tackle the most complex injury case.
