Proving a Personal Injury Claim

Financial compensation for injuries after an accident is known in Pennsylvania law as “damages.” You can collect economoic and non-economic damages if your injuries were the result of negligent parties. That behavior can be categorized in three ways:

Negligence. Negligence is the failure to exercise a reasonable standard of care, resulting in harm to another party. People are liable if their unreasonable act (or failure to act) causes an injury, even if the harm is not intended.
Intentional Harm. Intentional harm is the “malicious” or “intentional” infliction of harm that results in injury. As an example, if a person involved in a heated argument with you purposely hits you with the intention to hurt you, that person is liable for your injuries.
Absolute Liability. Absolute liability is when a person is responsible for injuring another person regardless of negligence or intent. Some instances in which the law might apply absolute liability are with regard to product liability, dangerous or hazardous activities, and pet owners’ liability. For instance, a person may be entitled to recover compensation after a defective product injures them, regardless of whether the manufacturer was actually negligent. In other words, the person only has to prove that a product is defective or dangerous and that the defect caused the personal injury. It is not necessary to show that the manufacturer was intentionally careless or negligent.

The type of behavior that led to your injury could have an effect on what types of damages you are entitled to receive. It’s important to have a free consultation with a West Chester personal injury attorney about your case.

Only an experienced attorney can assist injury victims in determining who is the at-fault party and, therefore, liable to you for your injury. You are entitled to the maximum compensation to cover your medical expenses and make you whole for the life-altering injuries you sustained.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

At our law firm, we handle claims arising from various situations. Some of the most common personal injury cases we take on include:

Car Accidents

If you have been involved in a car accident, it is likely you may have sustained serious injuries. We represent drivers and passengers who were hurt in collisions with other vehicles.

Truck Accidents

If you have been involved in an accident with a commercial truck or tractor-trailer, it is likely that this was a serious accident, and you and your passengers may have sustained catastrophic injuries.

Construction Accidents

Even non-employees, site visitors, and passers-by may be entitled to monetary compensation through a third-party injury lawsuit if they are hurt in a warehouse, on a construction site, or while in an industrial setting.

Medical Malpractice Claims

If you sustained injuries such as surgical errors, medication errors, or birth injuries as a result of the conduct of a doctor, pharmacist, medical technician, nurse, or staff member at a healthcare facility, you may have been the victim of malpractice.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle riders are particularly vulnerable to severe injuries caused by negligent motorists. Personal injury litigation may be required to recover the damages you are owed.

Slip and Fall Accidents

A slip-and-fall accident can occur at a business or even on private property, and can result in serious injuries, especially in older adults. Premises liability is the type of personal injury claim that holds a property owner liable for negligence.

Nursing Home Abuse Cases

Elderly residents of nursing homes are entitled to a certain level of care. When their well-being is neglected or when they suffer harm at the hands of an abusive resident or staff member, there are steps you can take to protect them through personal injury law.

Premise Liability Cases

A trip over a broken piece of concrete or an improperly laid piece of carpet in the office can lead to strains, sprains, or broken bones. Any time a property is open to the public, it must be kept safe. If it is not, and you get hurt, you may be liable for damages through a premises liability claim.

Dog Bite Injuries

Owners of dogs can be held liable if their dog bites you. Our experienced personal injury attorneys can evaluate your claim and right to compensation.

Workers’ Compensation Claims

An injury sustained while you are at work may or may not fall under workers’ compensation laws. A West Chester workers’ compensation lawyer can advise you of your rights to benefits and investigate your potential for a negligence claim.

Product Liability Claims

We represent clients who were harmed because of defective products, including workplace machinery and tools, unsafe medications and devices, auto parts, medical devices, children’s items, and more.

Wrongful Death Lawsuits

When someone else is responsible for your loved one’s death, a wrongful death claim will hold that person or entity accountable for their actions, and help you protect your children by ensuring a roof over their heads, food in their stomachs, and accounts set aside for health, schooling, and education.

Most personal injury cases are settled outside of court, but if a fair settlement cannot be reached, our experienced injury lawyers will not hesitate to take your case to trial. We understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll that personal injuries can have on individuals and their families. Our goal is to help you receive the justice and compensation you deserve while guiding you through the legal process with compassion and understanding.

What Our Clients Say

One of the BEST Workman's Comp Lawyers in Philadelphia. Guided me every step of the way, with the positive and negatives that could happen in my case. So happy I stuck with Larry Pitt & Associates.

Answered or returned calls and emails in a timely fashion. The employees at this firm are working for us the employee, not the employers. Very professional.

Pitt is one super-talented guy. Sharp as a tack, straight-forward, easy to talk to, and a bulldog of a negotiator. Changing attorneys in the middle of my case was a tough decision to make, but as soon as I took the leap, Pitt started moving my case forward. The only problem is, now that my case is settled, I'm going to miss visiting Pitt and his friendly staff of go-getters.

Larry and Phyllis, just want to personally thank you for going the extra mile to help me secure my case. Really appreciate everything you have done for me and my family. The greatest workplace injury lawyer in Pennsylvania!!

Wow! Talk about your legal Dream Team. My initial interview was with Larry Pitt, and he verbally walked me through the entire process. After that, I heard regularly from his staff, so never had to wonder what/how (or if) things were coming along. The final settlement was accomplished in just a few weeks short of the original time frame Larry set. I have to say I have never encountered a more efficient and professional team.

I'm so glad that I contacted Larry Pitt & Associates. He was very reliable and knowledgeable. During a tough time in my life, they made sure I was okay and made sure I received excellent care. Thank you for everything.
