Pennsylvania Car and Truck Accidents

Powerful legal help for accident victims in Pennsylvania

Vehicular crashes are probably the most frequent cause of injury and accidental death in Pennsylvania.  From minor to devastating, these accidents cause medical and legal difficulties for everyone involved—drivers, passengers, and even pedestrians.  Especially when you are seriously injured, you face immediate problems that can sometimes feel overwhelming.

In these circumstances, it is important to engage knowledgeable legal help as soon as possible to investigate exactly what caused the accident, everything that happened, and who was at fault.

Automobile accidents

Investigators at the scene and afterward seek first to determine exactly what happened in the accident and what caused it:

If you have been injured in an automobile accident, we can file a lawsuit against the person who caused the accident to obtain an award of damages.  In an auto accident injury suit, we must prove that the driver of the other vehicle caused the crash by not paying attention or not taking reasonable care.  Receiving an award depends on what the other person should have anticipated at the time of the accident.

Under Pennsylvania law, the person who was at fault for injuring you is responsible for more than just your medical bills:

• Any property that was damaged, including your vehicle
• The cost of hiring someone to do household chores when you could not
• Permanent disfigurement or disability
• Your emotional distress, including anxiety, depression, and any interference with your family relationships
• A change in your future earning ability because of the injury
• Any other costs that were a direct result of your injury

I have many years of experience in these cases and will examine the situation thoroughly to determine the most effective approach for your particular case.  See some settlements I have obtained for my clients in motor vehicle collisions.

Pittsburgh Truck accidents

The weight and force of a truck, especially when moving at high speed, create tremendous impact in a collision with a smaller vehicle.  Severe vehicle damage and serious personal injuries, even fatalities, are almost inevitable.  These accidents often lead to high monetary judgments against trucking companies.  Trucking companies often rely on a team of lawyers they keep on retainer to fight these cases.  When you are injured in an accident involving a truck, you need a lawyer who will stand up just as forcefully for your interests.
