Pennsylvania Personal Injury Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Is My Injury Claim Worth?

If you have a viable claim, it could include economic damages as well as noneconomic damages. Economic damages could include costs of medical care, lost wages and property damage. Your claim could also include pain and suffering, inconvenience and punitive damages.

Keep in mind that every injury or accident is different. An experienced injury lawyer can help determine whether you have a viable claim to pursue compensation.

How Do I File a Personal Injury Claim in Pennsylvania?

An experienced personal injury lawyer can help you file a personal injury claim. At Grutzmacher Law Firm, our Philadelphia personal injury attorney provides a free case evaluation to discuss your potential claim.

How Long Do I Have to File a Claim?

The time limitation you have to file a claim depends on the circumstances of your situation. This time limit is called a statute of limitations.

In Pennsylvania, you have two years to file most injury, accident or wrongful death claims. For a wrongful death claim, you have two years from the date of death. For other personal injury claims, you generally have two years from the date of the accident.

Will My Personal Injury Case Go to Trial?

Most cases settle outside of court with an insurance company. It is important to build a strong case so that all parties will agree to a settlement.

In the unlikely event that an agreement is not made, then the case will go to trial. A lawyer can help you understand the best legal options for your specific situation.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Lawyer?

Before hiring an attorney, ask about their fees. Our Philadelphia personal injury lawyer works on a contingency fee basis. This means that you pay nothing up front.

We recover fees by charging an agreed upon percentage of our client’s settlement award. In the event that we lose a case, the client owes us nothing.

How Do I Find a Personal Injury Lawyer Near Me?

There are many ways to find a personal injury lawyer. Talk to trusted friends or family who have hired a personal injury lawyer in the past.

Have you hired a lawyer for a different area of law? They may be able to recommend a lawyer for your case.

Before hiring an attorney, meet and discuss your case with them.
