Request a Free ConsultationNo one begins a typical day expecting to end it in an emergency room or with admittance into a hospital, but around 40 million emergency room visits each year result from sudden, serious injuries. All injuries are painful and distressing, but when an injury could have been prevented if only someone else had taken reasonable care, it’s even more traumatic. While nothing can erase the injury, a successful Pennsylvania personal injury claim helps the injury victim move forward with fewer financial concerns and a sense of justice.

How Do I Know If My Injury Qualifies for a Personal Injury Claim?
Personal injury law centers around the common understanding that we all owe a duty of care to act safely around others or take reasonable care to prevent causing injuries, such as a driver’s duty to follow traffic laws. Commercial property owners have a special duty of care to their customers. When a person, business, or government entity (like a city transit system or public park maintenance agency) violates that duty of reasonable care and causes harm to someone else, they are liable in a personal injury claim. Because most injury victims experience financial damages as well as pain and suffering, their cases meet the legal standards for the at-fault party’s liability in a personal injury claim. Common causes of personal injury cases in Levittown include the following:
- Car accidents
- Commercial truck and bus accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Uber & Lyft accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Workplace injuries
- Slip-and-fall accidents and other premises liability cases
- Dog bites
- Medical malpractice
- Nursing home abuse
- Acts of violence
Most personal injury cases are resolved with a settlement from the at-fault party’s insurance, such as auto insurance after a car accident, medical malpractice insurance after a medical mistake, or commercial liability insurance after a preventable slip-and-fall accident in a store.
What Is the Process of a Pennsylvania Personal Injury Case?
Filing a personal injury case requires meticulous attention to timelines, filing details, and well-documented evidence to make a compelling case. Insurance companies routinely deny claims or find ways to undervalue payouts to protect their profits. An assertive personal injury lawyer from Grungo Law will do the following:
- Handle all communication with the defendant and their insurance company
- Investigate the cause of your injury and document strong evidence of the at-fault party’s liability
- Carefully calculate your economic damages and an appropriate amount for your pain and suffering, and other non-economic consequences of the injury
- Send their findings to the insurance company
- Negotiate with the insurance adjuster to achieve the highest possible settlement under the individual circumstances of your case
Over 93% of personal injury cases are resolved with a settlement because insurance companies prefer to avoid the risk of court; however, your attorney from Grungo Law will plan and execute a legal strategy for court if required to ensure you receive fair compensation.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim In Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania limits the amount of time an injury victim may file a lawsuit to no more than two years from the date of their injury. This helps ensure that the evidence and eyewitness testimony are still available. The two-year statute of limitations for personal injury cases also protects defendants from living under an indefinite threat of lawsuits.
What Types of Injuries Are Common In Levittown Personal Injury Cases?
Residents of Levittown, Pennsylvania, lead busy, productive lives, but anytime an individual leaves home, they are vulnerable to the reckless or careless actions of others. Common injuries in Levittown personal injury cases include the following:
- Fractures
- Soft-tissue injuries like sprains, strains, and torn ligaments
- Neck injuries
- Back injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- External head, dental, and facial injuries
- Burns
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic amputations
- Dog bite wounds
- Internal injuries
- Loss of vision or hearing
- Toxic exposures
Injuries are expensive as well as painful. If your injuries were caused by someone else, you don’t have to be responsible for the costs as well as the pain and trauma. These adverse consequences of an injury are the damages in a personal injury claim.
What Can I Get From a Personal Injury Case In Levittown?
No two personal injury claim recoveries are the same, just as no two physical injuries have the same consequences. The amount of compensation you recover in your case is based on the unique details of your injury and expenses, but common damages recovered in personal injury claims in Levittown and the surrounding area include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Past and future lost income
- Diminished earning ability due to disability
- Compensation for pain and suffering
- Compensation for catastrophic injuries like loss of limb, disfigurement, the loss of one of the senses, scarring, loss of enjoyment of life, or diminished quality of life
If you’ve lost a loved one due to someone else’s actions, you or the closest surviving family member could recover wrongful death compensation.
