Were you recently injured in an accident that wasn't your fault? You most likely have many questions including:
Our firm has helped hundreds of people just like you. You are not alone.
Although personal injury accidents happen every single day, no one imagines that it will happen to them until it does. Then, most victims learn that it's not just physical pain and suffering that they will experience. The financial and personal losses can also be substantial.
For years, our team has dedicated their careers to helping the victims of personal injury accidents. Our clients have been hurt:
Regardless of how they were injured, they were all in debt from medical expenses and lost wages. Together, we worked with them to investigate their accident, collect evidence, identify the party who was responsible and take legal action.
Filing a personal injury lawsuit may be the only way to obtain compensation. The amount a plaintiff gets varies from case to case and is based off of the losses that were sustained. In addition to this, it can provide the plaintiff with a sense of relief knowing that justice has been served.
It's common for those who have been injured in a car accident to initially believe that their car insurance company will help them pay for their medical expenses and lost wages. While this may be true in part, the fact is that the insurance company will only pay the maximum amount allowed under the policy. When injuries are serious enough, the medical bills can easily reach thousands and sometimes millions of dollars. When insurance will only cover a fraction of the costs, many victims are left with huge debt and no way to repay it.
That's when many victims make the decision to file a lawsuit against the party responsible for the car accident. While it's possible to obtain full compensation through a lawsuit, it's difficult to navigate the legal process without an attorney.
An attorney can assist with all of the necessary legal paperwork, investigate the accident, determine if there is more than one party at fault, collect witness statements, and prepare the case and client for either settlement negotiations or trial.
A work accident can happen at any time in any industry causing serious harm to hardworking employees. The injuries sustained may not only require extensive and expensive medical care, but it may also keep the employee from returning to their chosen career. Not only is this heart-breaking but it also means that a once regular income is no longer available.
Nearly every single employer in the state is required to have workers' compensation insurance to cover all of their employees in case an accident occurs. This insurance coverage is intended to provide the injured worker with the money they need to pay for their medical expenses and if they are unable to work, a fraction of their lost wages. But even this coverage may not be enough to prevent financial ruin and a disturbing number of claims are denied each year.
Not only can an attorney help guide an injured worker through the process of filing a claim, they can also handle the appeals process, and in many cases, they identify another party whose negligence resulted in the accident. If a negligent third-party is found, it may also be possible for the worker to file a personal injury lawsuit that could provide them with all of the compensation they need.
Construction accidents are some of the most dangerous and deadly accidents that any worker can be involved in. Defective equipment, employers who fail to enforce safety standards, jobs working at great heights, and slip and fall hazards all create a workplace that injures thousands every year. In most cases, the victims of these accident can not only pursue a workers' comp claim but they can also file a personal injury lawsuit against the negligent party.
The idea of taking a legal case before a judge and jury may feel overwhelming and intimidating to some, causing them to hesitate when it comes time to file a lawsuit. However, a good law firm will make sure that not only is the case ready to go to trial, but the client is as well.
At The Disability Guys Pennsylvania, we prepare every case as though it will eventually end up in court, despite the fact that the majority of civil lawsuits end in the acceptance of a settlement offer. We know how stressful this time is for our clients and we want them to feel prepared every step of the way.
Being sick can be exhausting, painful, and scary. Every day, thousands of people make appointments or go to the emergency room, hoping that the doctor they see will get them onto the road to recovery. In many cases, patients go home feeling much better but sometimes, a doctor makes a mistake. These mistakes might include:
When a mistake is made, the patient may find that they are suddenly suffering from side effects, physical pain that otherwise wouldn't have occurred, and to make matters worse, it may mean that their original condition has been missed entirely and allowed to progress, making them even sicker.
The victims of medical malpractice or the loved one who died because of a medical professional's mistake have the right to pursue legal action against those responsible. If compensation is obtained, it can cover the losses sustained due to medical expenses, lost wages, physical pain and suffering, and even emotional trauma.
The brain is the control center of the body and when it has been damaged, it can impact a person's speech, vision, memory, movement, and can leave a patient with lifelong pain. The top causes of traumatic head and brain injury include:
Whatever the reason, once the damage has been done, the victim may no longer be able to work or enjoy activities that they previously enjoyed, impacting their quality of life in addition to the physical damage they have sustained. To make matters worse, the treatments frequently required are so expensive that it's not uncommon for medical expenses to add up to more than $1 million.
The average American simply can't afford to have their life disrupted so horribly and still remain financially stable. This is why the law allows the victims to pursue legal action against the party whose negligence caused the accident and therefore caused the traumatic brain injury. It may not bring back their physical abilities but it can provide the plaintiff with the compensation they so desperately need.
Just before noon on Tuesday, June 13th, 2017 the driver of a minivan attempted to switch lanes but side swept an SUV in the process. The impact caused the van to veer out of control and it went over the curb, slamming into two pedestrians and a newsstand. Both pedestrians were seriously injured and rushed to the hospital, where tragically, one passed away from his injuries.
An award nominated chef, Joe Cicala was working in the basement of La Virtu, making pasta, when he caught two of his fingers in the pasta machine, crushing them between the rollers. He was unable to release the rollers and due to the busy restaurant and his location, his cries for help went unheard. Luckily, he was able to call 911 and firefighters arrived to free him. His ring and middle fingers sustained serious damage and it is likely that he will require one or more surgeries thanks to this horrific work accident.

“I have been working since I was 14. I have probably held at least two dozen different jobs and I’ve seen people injured and hurt. One of the reasons I got involved with disability law is that I have a very good family friend who has been disabled his entire life, and I’ve seen how he’s struggled in order to keep working and try to work. When I was presented with the opportunity to get involved with what’s called “disability law,” I was really thrilled to be able to not only practice being an attorney, but helping other people who really need to know things about what their choices are, what they can do, and what their future may hold.
I am originally from Maple Glen, PA and is a life-long Eagles fan.
I have focused on helping individuals with their workers’ compensation, social security disability and long-term disability claims, as well as obtaining financial security for individuals who have had accidents.
As part of helping workers’ and their families, I have also been active in teaching continuing legal education courses to other attorneys, provide free seminars and webinars to the public on how to protect their rights, and I am active in various organizations such as the National Organization of Social Security Claims Representatives, the Injured Workers’ Bar Association and the Workers’ Injury Law & Advocacy Group.”
