FAQs
What qualifies as a personal injury lawsuit?
A personal injury lawsuit arises when someone suffers harm due to another party’s negligence or intentional actions. Common examples include car accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, and defective products. These lawsuits aim to recover compensation for the victim’s damages.
How do I know if I have a case?
If you’ve suffered an injury due to someone else’s negligence, you may have a case. Key factors include proving that the other party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused your injury. Our attorneys can evaluate your situation during a free consultation.
What types of compensation can I recover?
Victims of personal injury can recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, property damage, and, in some cases, punitive damages. The specific amount depends on the severity of your injury and its impact on your life.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit?
In Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally two years from the date of the injury. Acting quickly ensures evidence is preserved and strengthens your claim.
Do I need a lawyer to file a personal injury lawsuit?
While it’s possible to file a claim on your own, having an experienced attorney greatly improves your chances of success. Lawyers handle the complexities of the legal process, negotiate with insurance companies, and build a strong case to maximize your compensation.
Will my case go to trial?
Many personal injury cases are settled out of court through negotiations. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, our attorneys are prepared to take your case to trial and advocate for your rights in court.
How much does it cost to hire an attorney for a personal injury lawsuit?
At Gross, Gross, & Newman Law, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay if we win your case. This ensures that everyone has access to quality legal representation without upfront costs.
What should I do immediately after an injury?
Seek medical attention right away to document your injuries. Preserve any evidence related to the incident, such as photos, witness contact information, and accident reports. Avoid speaking with insurance adjusters until you consult an attorney who can protect your rights.
