Questions
What is your fee structure for personal injury cases?
We work on a contingency fee basis - no payment until we win your case. Fees come from settlement proceeds, ensuring access to justice regardless of financial situation.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
Pennsylvania generally allows two years from the injury date. However, SEPTA cases require notice within 180 days. Contact us promptly to preserve evidence and meet deadlines.
Can I afford an attorney after an accident?
Yes. Our contingency fee model means no upfront costs. We only collect fees after successfully recovering compensation through settlement or trial verdict.
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
Seek medical attention, document the scene with photos, obtain witness contact information, and report the incident to police. Contact our firm before speaking with insurance adjusters to protect your rights.
How are slip and fall cases proven?
We establish property owner negligence by demonstrating unsafe conditions like wet floors or poor lighting. Medical records and accident scene evidence are critical to proving liability and damages.
What compensation can I recover for injuries?
Victims may claim medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. We calculate total damages including future treatment needs to ensure fair compensation.
