What Is a Personal Injury Law Case?

A personal injury case is a legal process in which a person files a claim against another party, such as a driver for damages caused by negligence, intentional acts, or other wrongful conduct. These cases can arise from car accidents, SEPTA accidents, workplace and work-related accidents, medical malpractice, defective products, or many other situations and circumstances. When filing a personal injury accident case in court, the plaintiff, i.e., the injured party, must show that the other party was legally responsible for the harm.

In a personal injury case, compensation is sought for physical and emotional injuries, as well as other losses related to the incident. In this context, the insurer of the individual/owner or entity deemed responsible can be held liable for economic and non-economic money damages.

The tenor of the case varies depending on the type and extent of injury. Often, there can be two outcomes to a case: A formal, in-court, personal injury lawsuit (sometimes, in the end, resulting in a full-blown trial) or an out-of-court settlement.

Formal Lawsuit:

In a formal case, the plaintiff, through an attorney, files a civil court complaint against the responsible individual, government agency, or any business, i.e., the defendant, usually with the help of a lawyer. If the injured party files a complaint without a lawyer, this plaintiff is said to be filing pro se.

The plaintiff must prove that the defendant caused the harm by proving with evidence that the defendant’s or defendants’ negligence or intentional act was legally to blame for the injury. The court may consider evidence including certain medical records, witness testimony, video, and photographs to determine liability and damages.

Settlement:

In some situations, the parties involved may opt for a negotiated settlement outside of the courtroom, sometimes with the help of a mediator, either before or after the filing of a lawsuit. This can save the time and expense of a trial, or the procedures leading up to a trial, and allow for an amicable resolution.

What Are the Common Types Of Personal Injuries in Philadelphia?

Accidents can happen anywhere. Regardless of the location, there are instances during which a victim of an accident may have doubts about whether to pursue a claim/lawsuit for compensation. Among the most common personal injury cases in the Philadelphia area include the following:

  • Auto Accidents:

    Our firm has handled cases involving car, truck, and motorcycle crashes. Our attorneys believe in working tirelessly so that victims of automobile-related injuries receive the compensation they deserve.

  • Dog Bites:

    Our work with individuals injured by Dog Bites or dog attacks is extensive. The attorneys and legal staff address many of the issues a victim may experience. We help clients overcome physical, psychological, and/or cosmetic trauma and stress primarily through holding the negligent party accountable.

  • Slip-and-Fall Accidents:

    Certain maintenance issues, employee carelessness, or weather conditions can affect safety when walking on another’s property. Our skilled attorneys relentlessly pursue compensation for those injured in Slip-and-Fall Accidents.

    • Defective Products or Device:

      Consumers reasonably expect the products they purchase to be safe. However, when safety standards are overlooked, everyday household items or more significant commodities can cause severe injury and, in some instances, even death. Talk to one of our Philadelphia law firm attorneys about your legal options and how you may be able to obtain compensation for a product liability claim.

    Some of the other forms of personal injury can include premises liability, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, workplace injury, wrongful death, sexual abuse and more. Even if you are unsure as to whether the situation or accident constituted negligence or intentional misconduct, you can always speak to one of our Philadelphia personal injury lawyers.

    Why Get a Lawyer for Your Injury After An Accident?

    Serious and traumatic accidents go hand in hand with devastating physical injuries, emotional pain, and economic harm. Worse still, the aftermath of an accident is rarely less stressful than the event itself.

    Dealing with insurance companies, in particular, often causes victims to feel frustrated or helpless. They may feel like they are being treated like a number instead of a real person who has suffered a grave misfortune. If you or a family member is suffering from a serious injury, you or your loved ones may encounter several barriers to getting the compensation you deserve.

    First, there are your physical injuries, such as spinal cord Injuries, burns, head trauma or brain injuries, birth injuries, or even disfigurement, which require lengthy recovery time and treatment. Moreover, there may be related financial issues in both the short and long term. You might have expensive medical bills to pay, and there could be missed work while you or a family member recuperates. Recovering from a dangerous, long lasting, and high-risk injury is often a slow and strenuous process.

    An experienced personal injury attorney in Philadelphia is someone who can work with you to obtain a fair settlement for the personal injury you have suffered. We will simplify the overall process, especially since these cases can be quite complex. With that in mind, never agree to an insurance adjuster’s quick or hasty settlement proposal before you speak with a personal injury lawyer.

    Our experienced attorneys guide you toward the outcome that you are entitled to. Whether, for example, you were hurt in a Philadelphia car accident or need to hold a school or university accountable for an injured child, you want the Law Offices of Greg Prosmushkin, P.C., in your corner. It is crucial to have legal representation from an experienced Philadelphia Injury Lawyer who can tirelessly work toward obtaining the outcome that you deserve.

    What Damages Can I Recover After a Personal Injury?

    Knowledge about the different types of money damages is key when it comes to pursuing your personal injury case. Depending on many factors specific to your injury case and the injury itself, the following damages may be applicable and including the following:

    • Medical care: this includes past, present, and future medical bills related to your injury or condition and any rehabilitation costs.
    • Lost wages: these reflect the value of your loss of income now and in the future.
    • Property damage or loss: if your belongings or property were damaged or destroyed, you might be entitled to compensation for these items.
    • Pain and suffering: compensation may be awarded if you have experienced pain, discomfort, or inconvenience.
    • Emotional distress: this type of non-physical harm is often erroneously thought to be low in value. However, emotional distress should be pursued when applicable.
    • Quality of life: if the accident has affected your levels of enjoyment or that of your loved ones in various ways, you may be eligible for past and future damages.

    Suffering an injury that isn’t your fault is not only a painful experience—it’s an overwhelming and confusing one. Many injured Philadelphia-area residents may not even realize they can pursue financial compensation for their injury. During such challenging times, our Philadelphia Personal Injury lawyers are here to navigate the legal process on your behalf and pursue the compensation you deserve.

    How Much Does An Injury Lawyer Cost in Philadelphia?

    Injured victims are sometimes hesitant to hire an injury attorney in the city of Philadelphia or surrounding areas because of perceived legal fees involved. Many injured victims are already dealing with medical bills and are out of work. In the world of personal injury, however, the good news is that attorneys usually operate on a contingency fee basis.

    At our office, our attorneys almost exclusively work on a contingency fee basis. This means that the client pays the attorney a percentage of the overall recovery if the claim results in an award of damages. In a contingency fee arrangement, the client pays nothing in upfront legal fees. This also means that, if our lawyers never recover any money for the client, the client owes nothing. In short, there’s no cost to you unless our firm wins your case in or out of court.

    If the lawyer does collect on behalf of the client, then the lawyer receives the agreed-upon percentage. Again, contingency fee arrangements are common in cases such as auto crashes, premises liability, medical malpractice, and wrongful death. The exact amount of the potential legal fees will depend on the totality of the circumstances of your case and will be spelled out in writing when you officially hire a lawyer.

    How Will I Determine Liability in Pennsylvania Personal Injury Accidents Cases?

    Auto crashes in the Philadelphia area unfortunately are a fact of life that creates accident victims from auto crashes annually. Each year, PennDOT publishes an eye-opening report with facts and figures related to crashes the previous year. This information can serve as a reminder of the need to stay alert on the road and protect your future after a crash.

    Under Pennsylvania tort law, there are several different forms of civil liability that could be adjudged by a court. These include:

    • Negligence: negligence applies when a person or business fails to take reasonable precautions or adhere to appropriate standards of care when they have a legal duty to do so. Negligence arises when there is a lack of care for the safety and well-being of others, leading to potential harm or injury.
    • Intentional tort: this applies when another individual or entity knowingly or deliberately engages in an activity that causes an injury. Generally, there is a two-year statute of limitations for intentional torts in Pennsylvania
    • Strict liability: strict liability comes into play regardless of a person’s intent or mental state. In general, strict liability applies when an individual engages in abnormally dangerous activity, such as, but not limited to, keeping exotic animals or setting off explosives.
    • Product liability: under this legal theory, product manufacturers, or any other entity in the manufacturing or commerce chain, must ensure that their products are safe. They also must provide reasonable instructions or labels that include safety precautions and conspicuous warnings regarding certain hazards.

    An experienced Personal Injury Attorney is familiar with the entire process and knows how to advise you at every stage of the claim lawsuit to determine who is liable and the amount of money damages potentially recoverable.

    Calculating each cost, including physical injuries, lost income, and emotional harm, is vital to determine the value of compensation. To be justly compensated for damages to your person, property, reputation, or legal rights, you should consider reaching out to an experienced and knowledgeable personal injury attorney.

    What If the Insurance Company Denied My Car Injury Claim?

    If the person or persons who injured you have insurance coverage, you may at least initially have had to deal with an insurance company adjuster who attempted to deny or minimize the claim. However, if you’ve been denied, don’t despair.

    An attorney can analyze your situation and evaluate the evidence from every perspective. With our accident experience, we can negotiate effectively and forcefully with the insurance company. When you are represented by a Philadelphia Injury Lawyer, rest assured that your claim will be treated with respect by the insurance companies as well as the parties responsible for your injury.

    How Do I Handle Doctors While My Medical Treatment Is Going On?

    Unfortunately, serious injuries from car vehicle accidents are very common and can leave victims and their families with devastating consequences. You should not have to forgo medical care in the aftermath of an accident.

    A law firm may be able to help you find appropriate medical attention and care while your claim is still pending.

    Philadelphia Accident Statistics

    According to data from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Philadelphia County experienced 8,714 car accidents in 2022. Among these accidents, 5,549 individuals sustained injuries, and tragically, 134 lives died.

    Furthermore, over 60% of these accidents resulted in either injuries or fatalities. Even more disturbingly, in 2022, about 12% of all fatal accidents across Pennsylvania occurred in Philadelphia County, which constitutes the most compared to any other county in the state.

    In the same year, 57 pedestrians lost their lives in accidents involving commercial motor vehicles, while three bicyclists also tragically succumbed to accidents involving cars.

    What To Expect When You Are Working with a Team of Experienced Philadelphia Personal Injury Lawyers

    After suffering a personal injury, victims sometimes struggle with whether to handle the process themselves or retain an attorney. Without experience in the intricacies of serious injury law, victims are often understandably unfamiliar with the entire complex and convoluted legal process. In the absence of a lawyer, you also may be shortchanged in terms of the compensation that you deserve.

    Remember that if you sign a settlement offer without getting a readout first from an attorney, you are waiving (i.e., giving up) your right to seek any future compensation.

    The settlement amount is important because it must be sufficient to take into consideration the full scope of your injuries. Our Philadelphia accident lawyers can provide the necessary experience to ensure that your settlement adequately addresses your current and future needs.
