Pittsburgh Accident Attorney Handling Personal Injury, Car Accident, Motorcycle Crash - Pittsburgh Lawyer For Collision - Beaver County, Washington County Attorney

Motor Vehicle Accident Law
Our automobile accident attorneys are agressive
about handling your claim for injuries following
your vehicle accident, whether it involved a car,
truck, motorcycle, or you traveling as a
passenger or pedestrian. From experience, we
know that some cases should be targeted for
settlement. Others will require a multi-week trial.
We will evalute your case for the best possible
recovery following a motor vehicle accident.

Our Goal: Your Peace of Mind
You deserve to know your rights following a
motor vehicle accident. We will sit down with you
and answer all your questions, such as concerns
about no-fault insurance, "full tort," UM and UIM.
At our firm, an attorney (not a paralegal) will
discuss your case with you in detail, free of
charge. You will come away from our meeting
with a full undertanding of your case and some
peace of mind.

Experience Pays.
An experienced trial attorney can tell you how a
jury will look at certain kinds of evidence, such
as the medical opinions as stated in your records
and/or the type of damage to your car (bumper,
frame, winshield, hood). The above
considerations become crucial when you are
negotating a settlement with the other driver's
insurance carrier. Don't assume you cannot
recover if you were involved in a prior history,
whether it involved you as driver, passenger, or
pedestrian. Also do not assume that a jury will
fail to take your case seriously just because you
were driving a large SUV, truck, or other large
vehicle that sustained little damage. Be advised
that the limited tort option can substantially limit
your rights; however, there are exceptions.

Full Tort / Limited Tort
The extent of your recovery for an automobile
accident may depend on whether you selected
the "full tort" option. That said, several
exceptions exist to "limited tort." You should
speak to an attorney about the exceptions to
limited tort and whether any exception could
apply to your collision case.

What if the Other Driver is Not Insured?
If the other driver is not insured or his coverage
is limited, we can explore your rights against your
insurance carrier for what is called uninsured or
underinsured coverage, UM/UIM. Typically, a UM
or UIM case will proceed through arbitration and
we can help maximize your recovery.

We Will Prepare Your Case for Trial.
Our car accident attorneys will get your case
ready for trial to ensure victory before a jury
and/or the best possible settlement. To this end,
we will obtain your medical records and get early
expert review to help understand your
pre-existing conditions (if any). Our accident
attorneys will consider the full extent of your
new injury, such as a aggravation, sprain, strain,
fracture (broken bone), or otherwise. We will also
put his or her insurance carrier on notice of the
collision. We'll obtain your medical, chiropractic,
and physical therapy records for a more thorough
analysis of your claim. We'll consider whether you
suffered from a preexisting injury and whether
the vehicle collision aggravated it. We'll
communicate to you the expected monetary
value of any new sprain, strain, broken
bone/fracture, or other injury.

We Will Investigate the Scene of the
Crash.
Our vehicle crash attorneys personally go to the
scene where the accident happened. From
experience, we know the value of getting a
hands on feel of all the evidence involved in your
case. We will also consider whether an airbag
failed, or whether the roadway was unsafe from
the unnatural diversion of water, for example.
We'll interview witnesses and fully evaluate the
case to best support the allegations you are
making. We will consider whether a faulty airbag,
tire or tires, or motorcyle helmet were a factor.
We will also consider whether the other driver
was speeding, ran a red light, failed to yeild the
right of way.

We Will Negotiate.
Our automobiel accident attorneys will work to
convince the other driver or his insurance carrier
that car or trucking accident happened as you
say, and that you are entitled to the money you
seek. We can help negotiate down the value of
any unpaid medical bills in certain circumstances
and/or try to prevent unpaid bills from going into
collections. We will commence litigation and
aggressively pursue your vehicle accident claim
as your zealous advocate.

Rely on Our Experience.
Our lawyers have successfully handled personal
injury cases at all levels of litigation in
Pennsylvania: magistrate (district justice),
compulsory arbitration, UIM arbitration, UM
arbitration, jury trials, superior court appeals,
appeals to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania,
and federal court cases. We've conducted out of
state depositions, depositions for use at trial,
we've handled cases throughout West Virginia.
You can rely on our experience to know what
kind of evidence is most important to maximize
the value of your claim. For example, the type of
property damage to the cars (such as damage to
the paint, or glass, or windshield, or frame) can
be important. Do not assume that a small amount
of damage to your vehicle will preclude you from
recovery, especially if your vehicle is designed to
withstand impact.
