What Personal Injury Compensation Can You Receive?

The insurance company representing the person who hurt you will either try to reject your claim entirely or give you a lowball settlement. Do not feel pressured to sign a settlement offer just because it is in front of you. There is a significant chance that any offer you are given early in your claim is a minimal amount that does not reflect what you are actually owed. Hand any settlement offers to our Lancaster personal injury lawyers first to let us review it before signing anything.

Any settlement or verdict should pay for all of your damages, including:

• Medical costs, like hospitalization, emergency care, medications, etc.
• Wages you could not earn due to missing work
• Damaged property that needed repair or replacement
• Emotional trauma, pain, and suffering you have endured

The noneconomic damages you experience – pain and suffering, mostly – can become the most significant portion of the damages you seek and collect in a successful claim. It is the job of your attorney to calculate an amount that fairly reflects all the hardships you have gone through because of the liable party’s mistakes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I Do After an Accident?

After an accident, the first step is to ensure your safety and the safety of others involved. Call 911 to report the accident and seek medical attention, even if injuries aren't immediately apparent, as symptoms can develop over time. Document the scene by taking photos of the accident site, vehicles, and any visible injuries. Gathering contact information from witnesses and other parties involved is also essential. It's important to report the incident to your insurance company but avoid making any official statements before consulting with a knowledgeable attorney. At Knafo Law Offices, our team is ready to guide you through these initial steps, ensuring your rights are protected from the outset.

How Do I Know If I Have a Valid Personal Injury Claim?

Determining the validity of your personal injury claim depends on several factors, such as the severity of your injuries, evidence proving negligence or liability, and the damages suffered. It is crucial to evaluate if the other party failed to act with reasonable care, and their actions directly led to your injuries. Consulting with an experienced attorney from Knafo Law Offices can provide clarity and help outline the strengths and potential challenges of your case. Our attorneys conduct a thorough case analysis, leveraging our extensive experience in Lancaster and the local legal standards to offer candid advice on your legal options.

What Is the Settlement Process for Personal Injury Claims?

The settlement process typically begins by gathering all relevant evidence to build a strong case, including medical records, accident reports, and witness statements. Negotiations usually start with an initial demand for compensation to the party at fault or their insurance company. This phase often involves back-and-forth discussions and counteroffers to reach a fair settlement. If the parties cannot agree, the case may proceed to trial. At Knafo Law Offices, we use strategic negotiation tactics and thorough legal preparation to strive for a just settlement, but are equally prepared to take your case to court to secure the compensation you deserve.

What Is The Statute of Limitations in Pennsylvania?

You do not have unlimited time to bring a personal injury claim against someone who causes you to suffer a serious injury. In fact, Pennsylvania gives you only two years from the date of your injury, which is one of the shortest statutes of limitations in the country. When two years pass, any claims you file can be immediately dismissed by the court at the request of the defendant. Move quickly to ensure you can create a strong claim and file it in time.
