How may we help you?
Do You Have a Valid Personal Injury Claim?
Many personal injury victims wonder if their situation rises to the level of filing a personal injury lawsuit. When you contact our Pennsylvania law firm, we will assess your injuries, the potential liability of at-fault parties, and the unique circumstances of your case.
There are four basic elements that must be established in every personal injury case. Firstly, the defendant must have owed you a certain duty of care. For example, in car accident cases, all motorists on the road owe other drivers a duty to operate their motor vehicles safely and follow traffic laws.
Next, you and your Philadelphia personal injury attorney must establish that the responsible party’s actions were careless, negligent, reckless, or malicious in nature.
After carelessness or negligence has been established and you or your loved ones have suffered injuries, we must establish a direct line drawn between negligence and the resulting personal injury.
Lastly, we evaluate your damages. Damages include lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and more. If there were no losses suffered by the victim or the victim’s family, you may not have the makings of a successful personal injury claim.

What Should You Do to Protect Your Personal Injury Case?
Immediately following an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you must seek a professional medical evaluation, preserve evidence related to the accident, and report the accident to local law enforcement.
If possible, take photos and videos of the location, the conditions, debris, and resulting damage while still at the accident scene. If there were any witnesses to the accident, attempt to get their contact information and record their eyewitness statements.
Attempt to refrain from making apologies or other statements to anyone involved in a personal injury accident. Anything you say could be misconstrued and potentially harm your case.
If you have not done so already, now is the time to contact an experienced personal injury lawyer to discuss your case in more detail. Contact our law firm to schedule your free case review today.

Can You Recover Financial Compensation from Negligent Parties?
With a successful personal injury lawsuit, financial compensation can be recovered from the at-fault parties. Those who retain professional legal representation stand to recover more in terms of maximum compensation than those who elect to represent themselves.
Your financial settlement may be provided to you or your representatives and will include economic and non-economic damages.
Depending on the severity of your accident and resulting injuries, you may recover the following damages:
- Hospital and medical treatment-related expenses
- Bills for future medical care and prescription medication
- Lost wages and lost future income earning capacity
- Diminished enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium or companionship
- Pain and suffering
- Wrongful death
In extreme cases, it may also be possible to recover punitive damages from the at-fault party if a judge deems it necessary to further punish the defendant for their wanton misconduct.
When seeking justice and financial recovery, it is highly recommended that you work with experienced personal injury attorneys for your legal counsel. Please contact our law firm to schedule your free case evaluation today.

What Are the Benefits of Hiring Philadelphia Personal Injury Lawyers?
The law does not require you to retain professional legal counsel for a personal injury case. However, the legal fees spent hiring a Philadelphia personal injury attorney are far outweighed by the benefits of legal representation.
It is often too much to ask of any injury victim to go through the legal process of a personal injury claim while still recovering from their serious injuries. As your legal representation, a lawyer from our firm will do everything within their power to lift the burden off your shoulders and simplify legal matters throughout the process.
As your attorney, Duane Lassiter will thoroughly investigate all aspects of your personal injury accident, including reviewing police reports and accident reports, examining photo and video evidence, talking to eyewitnesses, visiting the accident scene, and working with an expert accident reconstructionist.
The attorney will build a compelling case that establishes liability against the at-fault party or parties, carefully calculate adequate compensation for your injuries and other losses, and send a demand to the appropriate insurance companies.
We will negotiate from a position of strength to try to recover the settlement you deserve. If necessary, we will also take your case to trial.
