Filing a Personal Injury Claim in Philadelphia

Philadelphia Personal Injury Lawyer

While no person ever wants to go through the experience of suffering injuries in an accident, it is an unfortunate part of life that happens on a regular basis. Car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, accidents involving premises liability and even nursing home negligence occur nearly every day in Philadelphia, and many people are left with injuries, damage to their property and financial devastation. If you have been injured in any type of accident, it is important for you to seek medical treatment and talk to a Philadelphia personal injury attorney immediately.

At the Law Offices of Steven Laynas, the legal team has over 30 years of experience in the area of personal injury law that can be used to your advantage when filing a claim. Filing a personal injury claim can be difficult, and without an attorney it may be nearly impossible. When you attempt to file a personal injury claim, you will need to collect certain pieces of evidence to help prove that another party was responsible for your injuries. You will need an attorney to meticulously comb through the evidence to understand what really happened at the time of the accident and who can be held accountable. Additionally, you will need medical records and bills to provide the opposing party with a projection of how much your medical expenses will cost now and in the future.

Negotiating with Insurance Companies: How Your Attorney Can Help

After all of the evidence has been collected by your Philadelphia personal injury lawyer, they will then need to approach the opposing party's insurance company or lawyer. During the collection of evidence and any other steps that your attorney takes to prepare your case, it is advised that you do not speak to any other insurance companies or the opposing party's lawyer. They may convince you to accept a claim that cannot fully cover the extent of the damages and costs, which will be financially devastating to you and your family. In some cases, they may attempt to convince you that you were at fault for the accident and may trick you into claiming financial responsibility for both parties.

Your attorney should essentially be the only person talking to the opposing party if you wish to find a favorable outcome in your case. At our office, we work aggressively and quickly to pursue the compensation that you rightfully deserve after a person's negligent actions have led directly to your injuries. In addition to seeking compensation for physical damage, we can fight to collect a settlement for other inflictions such as pain and suffering.
