Motor Vehicle Accident Law.
Our attorneys are aggressive about handling
your claim for injuries following a vehicle
accident, whether it involved a car, truck,
motorcycle, or you traveling as a passenger or
pedestrian. From experience, we know that
some cases should be targeted for settlement.
Others will require a multi-week trial. We will
evalute your case for the best possible
recovery.

Our Goal: Your Peace of Mind.
You deserve to know your rights following a
motor vehicle accident. Our automobile accident
attorneys will sit down with you and answer all
your questions. An attorney (not a paralegal)
will discuss your case with you in detail, free of
charge. You will come away from our meeting
with a full undertanding of your case and some
peace of mind.

Experience Pays.
An experienced trial attorney can tell you how a
jury will look at certain kinds of evidence, such
as the medical opinions as stated in your
records and/or the type of damage to your car
(bumper, frame, winshield, hood). The above
considerations become crucial when you are
negotating a settlement with the other driver's
insurance carrier. Don't assume you cannot
recover if you were involved in a prior history,
whether it involved you as driver, passenger, or
pedestrian. Also do not assume that a jury will
fail to take your case seriously just because
you were driving a large SUV, truck, or other
large vehicle that sustained little damage. Be
advised that the limited tort option can
substantially limit your rights; however, there
are exceptions.

Full Tort / Limited Tort.
The extent of your recovery for an automobile
accident may depend on whether you selected
the "full tort" option. That said, several
exceptions exist to "limited tort." You should
speak to an attorney about the exceptions to
limited tort and whether any exception could
apply to your collision case.

The Other Driver Was Not
Insured...
If the other driver is not insured or his coverage
is limited, we can explore your rights against
your insurance carrier for what is called
uninsured or underinsured coverage, UM/UIM.
Typically, a UM or UIM case will proceed
through arbitration and we can help maximize
your recovery.

We Will Prepare Your Case.
Our automobile accident attorneys will obtain
your medical records to further evaluate the
value of your dog bite case. In particular, we
will obtain your medical, chiropractic, and
physical therapy records including diagnostic
tests. Our personal injury lawyers will consider
your pre-existing conditions (if any), and we'll
consider the full extent of your new injury, such
as a aggravation, sprain, strain, fracture
(broken bone), or otherwise. Our Beaver County
and/or Allegheny County lawyers will also put
his or her insurance carrier on notice of the
collision. Our law firm will obtain your medical,
chiropractic, and physical therapy records for a
more thorough analysis of your claim. We shall
consider whether you suffered from a
preexisting injury and whether the vehicle
collision aggravated it. We'll communicate to
you the expected monetary value of any new
sprain, strain, broken bone/fracture, or other
injury.

We Will Investigate the Crash.
Our automobile accident attorneys will contact
the other driver and/or the driver's insurance
carrier and obtain records through discovery.
We'll go to the location of the car accident
ourselves. We'll look at whether an airbag
failed, or whether the roadway was unsafe from
the unnatural diversion of water, for example.
We'll interview witnesses and fully evaluate the
case to best support the allegations you are
making. We'll consider whether a faulty airbag,
tire or tires, or motorcyle helmet were a factor.
We'll also consider whether the other driver was
speeding, ran a red light, failed to yeild the right
of way
.

Negotiating Settlement.
Our personal injury attorneys will work to
convince the other driver or his insurance
carrier that car or trucking accident happened
as you say, and that you are entitled to the
money you seek. We can help negotiate down
the value of any unpaid medical bills in certain
circumstances and/or try to prevent unpaid bills
from going into collections. We will commence
litigation and aggressively pursue your vehicle
accident claim as your zealous advocate.

Rely On Our Courtroom
Experience.
Our lawyers have handled personal injury cases
at all levels of litigation in Pennsylvania:
magistrate (district justice), compulsory
arbitration, UIM arbitration, UM arbitration, jury
trials, superior court appeals, appeals to the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and federal
court cases. We've conducted out of state
depositions, depositions for use at trial, we've
handled cases throughout West Virginia. You
can rely on our experience to know what kind of
evidence is most important to maximize the
value of your claim. For example, the type of
property damage to the cars (such as damage
to the paint, or glass, or windshield, or frame)
can be important. Do not assume that a small
amount of damage to your vehicle will preclude
you from recovery, especially if your vehicle is
designed to withstand impact.
