Maybe you are still in a hospital bed. Maybe the adjuster from the other driver’s insurance company called this morning and sounded a little too friendly. Maybe you have been out of work for three weeks, and the medical bills are piling up on the kitchen counter in a way that is keeping you awake at night.

The carrier opened at $12,000. Our client took home $247,500.
When the insurer saw the medical records, the claims department tried to close the file quickly and cheaply. We refused the figure, documented the full medical picture, and settled the case for roughly twenty times the opening number. The carrier's first number is almost never the case's real value.
We focus on injury law for Pennsylvania families. Click any practice area for detailed coverage.
Rear-end collisions, T-bones, and rideshare crashes across every PA county. We walk you through your limited tort vs. full tort election before you sign anything. Related: hit and run accidents, Uber and Lyft crashes, and Amazon delivery vehicle accidents.
Tractor-trailer, delivery truck, and commercial vehicle crashes on I-95, I-76, and the PA Turnpike. We pull FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) driver logs, electronic logging device data, and corporate negligence records.
Riders face built-in bias from claims adjusters before the case file is even opened. We know how to rebut the comparative-fault narrative that the defense raises by default.
Convenience stores, apartment complexes, sidewalks, parking lots. We secure the surveillance video before it overwrites.
Misdiagnosis, surgical error, birth injury, medication mix-ups, and nursing home neglect. We file the Certificate of Merit under Pa.R.C.P. 1042.3 within the sixty-day window.
Pennsylvania workers' comp denials and third-party injury claims. If a defective tool, contractor, or third party caused the workplace injury, we pursue both tracks in parallel.
Pennsylvania uses a hybrid strict-liability and negligence regime under 3 P.S. § 459-502-A. Recognized as a Top 10 Philadelphia Dog Bite Lawyer 2025 by TrustAnalytica.
Falls from height, falling-object injuries, scaffold collapses, trench failures. We coordinate the third-party tort claim alongside the workers' comp claim.
PA wrongful death and survival actions are separate causes of action under 42 Pa.C.S. § 8301 and § 8302, with different damages categories. We handle both for surviving families.
Apartment defects, defective stairs, parking lot hazards, and inadequate security. We preserve the maintenance log and the prior incidents' history before the property owner buries them.
Traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, paralysis, severe burns, and amputation. We retain life-care planners and vocational economists from intake forward.
We handle additional PA injury cases, including bus accidents, distracted driving crashes, railroad accidents, burn injuries, food poisoning, spinal cord injuries, police brutality, and daycare injuries.
Accidents can happen anywhere. Regardless of the location, there are instances during which a victim of an accident may have doubts about whether to pursue a claim for compensation. Among the most common personal injury cases in the Philadelphia area are the following:
You may be searching for answers right now, not just a lawyer. These are the PA legal facts that decide most injury cases.
| You have 2 years to file. | PA law at 42 Pa.C.S. § 5524 gives most injury plaintiffs two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. Wrongful death runs two years from the date of death. The window sounds long. It compresses fast once evidence collection, medical treatment, expert review, and pre-suit negotiation begin. Minors have until two years after their eighteenth birthday under 42 Pa.C.S. § 5533. |
| Being partly at fault does not disqualify you. | PA follows modified comparative negligence under 42 Pa.C.S. § 7102 with a 51% bar. If you were 50% at fault or less, you recover, reduced by your share. At 51% or more, you recover nothing. On a $100,000 case at 30% fault, you take home $70,000. The defense pushes your percentage up. We push it down with evidence. |
| PA is a choice no-fault state for auto insurance. | Under 75 Pa.C.S. § 1705, every PA driver picked limited tort or full tort when the policy was issued. Limited tort drivers still recover non-economic damages when the injury meets the serious injury threshold, the at-fault driver was uninsured, convicted of DUI (driving under the influence), or driving a commercial vehicle. We pull your declarations page on every PA auto case. |
| Government cases have a 6-month notice rule. | Claims against SEPTA, the City of Philadelphia, PennDOT, a PA municipality, a PA county, or any Commonwealth agency require a written notice of claim within six months of the date of injury under 42 Pa.C.S. § 5522. Damage caps apply at 42 Pa.C.S. § 8528 ($250,000 per plaintiff against the Commonwealth) and 42 Pa.C.S. § 8553 ($500,000 aggregate against local agencies). Miss the six-month window, and the underlying claim usually dies. |
| PA does not cap most personal injury damages. | Standard personal injury cases face no statutory cap on economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, future care) or non-economic damages (pain and suffering, loss of consortium, scarring). Medical malpractice cases against certain government-affiliated providers face caps under 40 P.S. § 1303.505. Limited tort drivers face pain-and-suffering restrictions unless the serious injury threshold applies. |
| Medical malpractice has a 60-day Certificate of Merit deadline. | PA Rule of Civil Procedure 1042.3 requires a Certificate of Merit, signed by a qualified expert, filed within sixty days of a medical malpractice complaint. Missing the deadline dismisses the case. Birth injury and delayed-diagnosis cases against certain providers face the seven-year statute of repose under 40 P.S. § 1303.513. |
| Cases get filed at the county Court of Common Pleas. | Philadelphia injury cases get filed at the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, City Hall, Philadelphia, PA 19107. Bucks County cases route through the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas, 55 East Court Street, Doylestown, PA 18901. Our Pennsylvania personal injury guide covers each county's procedural quirks. |

| $1,000,000 | Motorcycle Wrongful Death vs. Truck (Bucks County, pre-suit) | Hired an accident reconstructionist. An uncovered video of the truck running a stop sign. Closed 4 months from the accident. |
| $500,000 | Car Accident (Prior Counsel Undervaluation) | The prior attorney valued the case under $100,000. We secured five times the prior valuation. |
| $300,000 | Slip and Fall / Traumatic Brain Injury (Bucks County) | Established premises owner negligence on a ramp that did not meet ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) standards. Documented mild TBI and wrist injury. |
| $247,500 | Car Accident (Low Opening Offer) | The insurer opened at $12,000. We secured roughly twenty times the opening offer. |

Most PA cases follow the same five-step path. The exact timeline depends on case facts, parties, the insurer, and whether the case settles or is filed.
Yes. Every personal injury attorney practicing in Pennsylvania is licensed and regulated by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania through the Disciplinary Board and the Office of Disciplinary Counsel. Greg Prosmushkin holds PA Bar 72888, admitted November 21, 1994, in active standing with no disciplinary history.
Pennsylvania’s attorney advertising rules fall under Rule 7.1 through Rule 7.4 of the PA Rules of Professional Conduct. Every legal services advertisement in PA must be truthful, non-deceptive, and include required disclosures. We comply with all state advertising requirements, including the prior-results disclaimer that appears whenever case results are displayed.
Contingency-fee representation under PA law creates no financial obligation unless your case produces a recovery. After your free case review, you are free to consult other attorneys, take time to decide, or choose not to proceed at no cost. If you retain us, the retainer agreement is written in plain language and signed before any work begins. Settlement decisions are always yours to make.
Contingency representation aligns our interests with yours. We get paid when you get paid. We have every reason to fight for the highest possible recovery and no incentive to settle the case cheaply.
PA injury victims talk themselves out of calling a lawyer because they assume they were partly to blame, their injuries were not serious enough, or they waited too long. In most cases, those fears are bigger than the actual legal barriers.
Financial worry is part of what brought you here. Our representation is 100% contingency-based under Pennsylvania law. If we do not recover compensation for you, you pay zero in attorney fees. We invest our own time and resources into the case because we believe in it, and we only get paid when you do. There is no financial risk to calling us, meeting with us, or retaining us. The only real risk is waiting.

PA’s highway system carries some of the heaviest commercial and commuter traffic in the Northeast. Six corridors and four trauma centers account for most of our PA caseload.
Roosevelt Boulevard (U.S. Route 1) Cited among the most dangerous roadways in the United States. Pedestrian fatalities concentrate at Cottman Avenue, Grant Avenue, Red Lion Road, and Welsh Road intersections in Northeast Philadelphia. | Interstate 95 Heavy commercial truck volume between Philadelphia International Airport, the Port of Philadelphia, and the NJ border. Truck-related fatalities concentrate along the Bucks County and South Philadelphia stretches. |
Schuylkill Expressway (I-76) Center City congestion, narrow shoulders, and limited acceleration lanes drive rear-end and merging crashes through the Belmont Plateau and Center City stretches. | Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76 / I-276) Cross-state commercial traffic, weather-related multi-vehicle pileups, and construction-zone crashes through Bucks, Montgomery, and Berks counties. |
U.S. Route 30 (Lincoln Highway) Connects Philadelphia to Lancaster and the rural midstate. Mixed truck, agricultural, and commuter traffic drives serious injury crashes through Chester County. | Cottman Avenue and Bustleton Avenue Northeast Philadelphia commuter corridors near our 9637 Bustleton Avenue office. Side-impact and pedestrian crashes concentrate at the signalized intersections. |

A Pennsylvania personal injury attorney at our firm costs nothing up front. We handle every case on a 100% contingency-fee basis. The consultation is free. We advance case costs, including expert witnesses, court fees, accident reconstruction, and medical records. Our fee comes from the settlement or verdict and applies only if we recover. No recovery means no fee and no costs. Call (215) 799-9990 for a free case evaluation, or read more in our PA personal injury FAQ.
Yes, a PA personal injury lawsuit can move forward if your share of fault is 50% or less under 42 Pa.C.S. § 7102. At 51% or more, the case recovers nothing. We break this down with a $100,000 numeric example in our PA comparative negligence guide. Many cases that look like clear plaintiff-fault situations are actually shared-fault cases once a full investigation is done.
A PA personal injury case value depends on the severity of the injuries, the long-term prognosis, the liability evidence, the available insurance limits, and the strength of the documentation. Our PA results range from $175,000 in a Bucks County slip-and-fall to $3.3 million in a Top 10 PA wrongful death matter. Any attorney who quotes you an “average” before reviewing your medical records and your declarations page is selling, not advising. Browse our full verdicts page for additional context.
A claim against SEPTA, the City of Philadelphia, PennDOT, a PA municipality, or any Commonwealth agency requires a written notice of claim within six months of the date of injury under 42 Pa.C.S. § 5522. Damage caps apply at 42 Pa.C.S. § 8528 for Commonwealth claims and 42 Pa.C.S. § 8553 for local agency claims. The two-year lawsuit deadline at 42 Pa.C.S. § 5524 still applies on top. Call the day of the incident if a government entity was involved.
Most PA personal injury cases settle without a trial. We prepare every case for trial regardless. Cases settle higher when the carrier knows we run focus groups and mock trials, retain the right experts, and have a documented record of trying cases to verdict. Cases that do not settle get filed at the county Court of Common Pleas and tried to a verdict. We advance all trial costs.
Our attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. This means that the client pays the attorney a percentage of the overall recovery if the claim results in an award of damages. This also means that, if our lawyers never recover any money for the client, the client owes nothing. In short, there’s no cost to you unless our firm wins your case in or out of court.
A PA personal injury case takes 4 months to 36 months, depending on the case. Pre-suit settlements resolve in 4 to 9 months when liability is clear, the medical picture is stable, and the carrier engages in good faith. We closed a $1 million pre-suit Bucks County motorcycle wrongful death matter in 4 months. Litigated cases take 18 to 36 months from filing to trial, depending on the court's docket and discovery scope.
Yes. A PA personal injury attorney should review any insurer settlement offer before you sign. The carrier's opening offer is rarely the case's real value. Our $247,500 settlement followed an insurer's opening offer of $12,000. Our $500,000 settlement followed a prior attorney's valuation of under $100,000. The Free Insurance Review is structured for exactly this question and carries no obligation.
Pennsylvania is a choice no-fault state under 75 Pa.C.S. § 1705. If you picked limited tort, you face restrictions on recovering pain and suffering unless the injury meets the serious injury threshold or the at-fault driver was uninsured, convicted of DUI, or driving a commercial vehicle. Full tort drivers have no such restriction. Our limited tort guide walks through the exceptions in plain language. Pull your declarations page before you talk to the at-fault insurer.
