Protecting you and your family. Your teammate for justice.
Whether you were rear-ended on Street Road by a driver leaving Parx Casino, slipped at the Neshaminy Mall food court, or were struck by a truck on Bristol Pike, the first 72 hours determine your case’s ultimate value. You should not have to learn Pennsylvania’s injury laws, insurance carrier tactics, or the rules of the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas on top of physical recovery and a financial mess you did not cause.
Since 1995, attorney Greg Prosmushkin has litigated Bucks County claims from our office just five minutes south of the Bensalem line. As a personal injury attorney in Pennsylvania who has worked Bucks County cases for over 30 years, our team is at the Doylestown courthouse regularly. We know the local judges, the township police districts, and the trauma protocols at Jefferson Bucks and Lower Bucks Hospital.
Our Bensalem personal injury lawyer works on a 100% contingency basis: you pay nothing unless we win. No retainers, no hourly fees, and no risk. Call (215) 799-9990 at any hour and tell us what happened. The conversation is free and comes with no obligation.
She Walked Into a Convenience Store. She Left With a Brain Injury. We Recovered $300,000.
Our Bucks County client fell on an ADA-non-compliant entrance ramp at a Pennsylvania convenience store. She suffered a mild traumatic brain injury and a wrist fracture.

Bucks County premises liability cases are won on the file before they ever reach trial.

Bensalem is in Bucks County. That sounds simple. It matters more than people expect when a case actually goes to court.
Bucks County personal injury lawsuits are filed at the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas in Doylestown, twenty-three miles north of the Bensalem line. The court hears Bensalem cases through the Civil Division. The judges, the local rules, the discovery procedures, and the jury pool are not Philadelphia’s. They are Bucks County’s. An attorney who regularly appears in Doylestown knows how a Bucks County jury responds to a rear-end collision on Roosevelt Boulevard versus a crosswalk strike in Center City. An attorney who has never been to Doylestown does not.
Our office is fifteen minutes from the Doylestown courthouse. We regularly file in the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas. When the case moves from negotiation to litigation, the file does not change hands, and the strategy does not change firms.
Our office is also ten minutes from the Bensalem Township border on Bustleton Pike. When you cannot drive after a Street Road accident, the lawyer comes to you. That is not a marketing line. We have taken cases in clients’ living rooms in Bensalem, Trevose, and Cornwells Heights more times than we can count.
Bensalem’s industrial sites, casino floors, and Bristol Pike warehouse corridor produce serious work injuries regularly. Pennsylvania workers’ compensation covers medical bills and a portion of lost wages regardless of fault. If you were injured at work in Bensalem and a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or third-party driver was involved, workers’ comp is not your only option.
When third-party liability exists alongside the workplace injury, a separate tort claim runs in parallel with the comp case. Three scenarios that come up in Bensalem intake calls:
We handle both tracks in parallel from intake. Our workers’ compensation attorneys file regularly with the Pennsylvania Bureau of Workers’ Compensation. The third-party tort claim runs alongside it. One firm. One call.

Pennsylvania’s personal injury laws determine what every Bensalem injury victim can recover, how long they have to file, and whether a limited tort election blocks their pain and suffering claim before they ever speak to an attorney. These seven facts decide most of them.
| You have 2 years to file. | The PA statute of limitations 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, and pre-suit negotiation begin. Minors have until two years after their 18th birthday. |
| Bensalem cases get filed in Doylestown. | Bensalem personal injury lawsuits are filed at the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas, 55 East Court Street, Doylestown, PA 18901. The court hears Bensalem cases through the Civil Division. The judges, the local rules, the discovery procedures, and the jury pool are not Philadelphia's. A Bucks County attorney who appears in Doylestown regularly knows how local juries respond. |
| Being partly at fault does not disqualify you. | PA follows modified comparative negligence under 42 Pa.C.S. § 7102 with a 51% bar. At 50% fault or less, you recover, reduced by your share. At 51% or more, you recover nothing. We push the percentage 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, or driving a commercial vehicle. |
| Bensalem Township and SEPTA claims have a 6-month notice rule. | Claims against Bensalem Township, the Bucks County government, SEPTA (which serves Bensalem via the West Trenton Line), PennDOT, 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 and 42 Pa.C.S. § 8553. 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. |
| Workers' comp has a separate 3-year deadline. | Pennsylvania workers' compensation claims run on a three-year clock under 77 P.S. § 602, measured from the date of injury or the last payment of compensation. The two-year tort deadline still applies separately if the workplace injury involves a third-party defendant. |
The amount your Bensalem personal injury case is worth depends on your economic damages, your non-economic damages, and whether the defendant’s conduct justifies punitive damages. The insurance company already has a number. It reflects what they want to pay, not what Pennsylvania law says you are owed. None of these three damages categories are capped under Pennsylvania law for standard personal injury claims.
Non-economic damages cover pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, scarring, and loss of consortium. The amount depends on the severity of the injury, the duration of treatment, the impact on daily activities, and the strength of the medical and personal-witness evidence. Limited tort drivers face restrictions under 75 Pa.C.S. § 1705 unless the serious injury threshold applies.
Punitive damages in a personal injury case go beyond compensatory damages. They punish the defendant for reckless or outrageous conduct. In Bucks County personal injury cases, they apply to drunk drivers, corporations that knew about a safety risk and ignored it, and defendants whose conduct crossed from negligence into intentional misconduct. The standard is clear and convincing evidence. Whether punitive damages are insurable in Pennsylvania depends on the defendant’s policy and the specific conduct, which we assess at intake.
Pennsylvania uses modified comparative negligence under 42 Pa.C.S. § 7102 with a 51 percent bar. Here is how the rule plays out in a real Bensalem case.
Suppose you were turning left from Bristol Pike onto Street Road. Another driver coming from your right ran a red light and T-boned your vehicle. Discovery later shows that you accelerated through a stale yellow before the impact. The Bucks County jury determines that the red-light runner was 75% at fault and your accelerated entry into the intersection was 25% at fault.
The jury awards a total of $90,000 in damages.
Under modified comparative negligence, the $90,000 gets reduced by your 25% share of fault. You recover $67,500. The $22,500 represents your 25% contribution.
If the jury had found you 51% at fault, you would recover zero. The 51% bar is unforgiving. The defense in Bucks County cases will push your percentage up to whatever they can prove. We push it down with police reports, surveillance video from nearby businesses, vehicle telematics, witness statements, and accident reconstruction.
Most Bensalem cases follow the same five-step path. The exact timeline depends on case facts, the parties, the insurer, and whether the case settles or is filed at Doylestown.
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.
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.
Bensalem 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 for you, you pay zero in attorney fees. Not a reduced fee. Not costs. Nothing. We invest our own time and resources because we believe in the case, and we only get paid when you do. There is no financial risk to calling us. The only real risk is waiting.
Four practicing attorneys. Each was admitted in Pennsylvania. Meet the full team.
Bensalem’s road network funnels Philadelphia commuter traffic, Pennsylvania Turnpike cross-state commercial volume, and Parx Casino arrivals onto a small set of corridors. Six roads and four trauma centers account for the bulk of our Bensalem caseload.
Street Road (PA Route 132) The east-west spine of Bensalem. Heavy commercial, retail, and casino-bound traffic. Side-impact and rear-end crashes concentrate at Knights Road, Hulmeville Road, the Parx Casino driveway, and the Neshaminy Mall entrances. | Bristol Pike (PA Route 13) North-south industrial corridor with heavy commercial-truck traffic. Rear-end crashes from Eddington to Cornwells Heights. The Bristol Pike-Street Road intersection produces a meaningful share of Bensalem injury cases. |
U.S. Route 1 (Lincoln Highway / Roosevelt Boulevard extension) Connects Philadelphia’s Roosevelt Boulevard north into Bucks County through Trevose. High-speed multi-vehicle crashes near Galloway Road and Old Lincoln Highway. | Interstate 95 Cuts through eastern Bensalem near the Andalusia and Eddington exits. Commercial-truck volume from the Port of Philadelphia to the NJ border drives serious-injury cases here. |
Pennsylvania Turnpike / I-95 Interchange Newer cross-state interchange brings construction-zone and merging crashes through Bensalem. Volume has increased significantly since opening. | Knights Road and Hulmeville Road Bensalem residential collectors. Pedestrian and intersection crashes concentrate here. Schools and senior centers nearby raise the catastrophic-injury risk for these corridors. |
Trauma Centers and Courthouse Serving Bensalem Injury Victims

Bensalem personal injury lawsuits are filed at the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas, 55 East Court Street, Doylestown, PA 18901.

Bucks County personal injury lawsuits are filed in Doylestown, twenty-three miles north of Bensalem. The court hears Bensalem cases through the Civil Division. The judges, the local rules, the discovery procedures, and the jury pool are not Philadelphia's. Bucks County juries tend to be more suburban, more conservative on damages, and more responsive to clear liability narratives than Philadelphia juries. A Bensalem case tried in Doylestown is a different case from the same facts tried at City Hall. A Pennsylvania personal injury attorney who appears in both courts knows the difference.
Yes. Claims against Bensalem Township 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. § 8553 ($500,000 aggregate against local agencies). Bensalem Township government vehicles, township-owned property defects, and Bensalem Township Police negligence all fall under this rule. Call (215) 799-9990 the day of the incident if a township vehicle or municipal property was involved.
Commercial truck cases on I-95 and Bristol Pike trigger separate FMCSA driver-log and electronic logging device evidence requirements. Truck data overwrites quickly. We send preservation letters within the first business day, retain reconstructionists on serious cases, and pursue corporate-defendant negligence theories that ordinary auto firms do not. Our $1.3 million tractor-trailer settlement turned on documented training and protocol failures.
Nothing up front. We handle every Bensalem personal injury 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. Read our full PA personal injury FAQ.
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. Our limited tort guide walks through the exceptions.
Bensalem cases take 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 at the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas take 18 to 36 months from filing to trial.
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 Bucks County case results range from a $175,000 revival of a previously dismissed slip-and-fall case to a $300,000 mild-TBI premises case to a $1 million pre-suit motorcycle wrongful death closed in 4 months. Any attorney who quotes you an "average" before reviewing your medical records and your declarations page is selling, not advising.
