Philadelphia Personal Injury Lawyer
According to Pennsylvania law you must prove that one or more of the defendants is at least 50 percent at fault in order to make a recovery. It must also be established that the defendant’s negligence was the actual and proximate cause of your injuries. Trust a Philadelphia personal injury lawyer to be able to not only meet this percentage, but help you obtain the most for your tragic accident. Personal injury depicts a specific type of harm caused to a person, be it physical, emotional, or mental. Under the legal umbrella of tort law, personal injury claims seek to place the plaintiff in the same position they were in prior to their injury.
The specific requirements and issues vary depending on what type of accident you have. Other portions of this site have a more detailed discussion per the specific injury assessed. Common to many tort cases, the defendant will oftentimes claim that the accident was partially the victim’s fault, called comparative negligence, or that the injuries that the plaintiff did sustain were not related to the accident. When bringing a personal injury claim please consider the vast experience at Rosenbaum & Associates.

What compensation can I expect?
Cases vary from one to the next, and multiple issues must be taken into consideration. Pennsylvania state law allows compensation for past and future medical bills, lost wages, lost earning capacity, disfigurement, and other pain and suffering. In some claims such as car accidents, if the medical bills have already been paid then you cannot submit them for recovery. If the extent of your injuries also impacts your personal life, you may be entitled to a separate recovery for your spouse called loss of consortium. Having settled thousands of cases we know how to evaluate all of elements of your claims in order to ensure that you are fully compensated.
