Protecting Your Personal Injury Rights in PA

It is important to preserve you legal rights once an injury occurs. First and foremost it is essential to get immediate medical treatment, follow your doctor's advice, and continue with the prescribed treatment(s).

Don't Discuss Your Injuries with the Insurance Company

Second, please understand that you have a right not to discuss the event or offer a statement about your injuries. Insurance companies and their employees only want to discuss your case to for one reason-to get information that will improve their position.

Act Fast to Preserve Your Rights

Third, it is essential to act fast to maintain your right to bring a personal injury lawsuit in PA. Pennsylvania has a two (2) year statute of limitations for most injury cases. This means that you (or your lawyer) must Act file a complaint within two (2) years of the date of the event that caused the injury. Acting fast is also critical to finding witnesses and collecting the evidence necessary to prove your case.

Hiring a Pennsylvania Personal Injury Lawyer

Selecting a personal injury attorney in Pennsylvania is a critical decision that should be made very carefully. Please be sure that you have personally discussed your case with the lawyer and that you feel comfortable talking to him or her and asking them questions about your case and the legal process. Moreover, be sure that you are confident in the information and vibe you get from the attorney. Most lawsuits take years to resolve and require frequent communication between the client and lawyer; therefore, it is important that you hire someone you feel you can trust and are comfortable speaking with.

In addition to understanding the law and process of a personal injury case in PA, a lawyer should review of the facts of the case with you, consider all sources of insurance, prepare the case for trial, and develop a settlement strategy. It is also a lawyer's duty to evaluate and argue for the insured's right to compensation for hospital bills, lost income, required long-term care, mental anguish and other conditions resulting from the negligent act.

Evaluating an Injury Lawyer

As you search for a personal injury lawyer your will find that there are many attorneys eager to take your case. I encourage you to call a few lawyers and speak with them about your case because I think it is important to make a full and informed decision before your hire a lawyer. Evaluate how long it takes for the lawyer to take or return your call and if they are willing to listen to you. Moreover, appraise how the lawyer talked to you and about your case. Remember that anyone can raise expectations and make guarantees; however, few people can make good on those promises. Most importantly, remember that if you feel pressured to hire a certain lawyer you should probably hire a different lawyer.
