Someone else's choice should not cost you your health
Whether you were injured in a motor vehicle accident, a slip and fall or a dog bite, we have experience holding accountable the people whose actions led to your injuries. You deserve to be compensated for your injuries, and we have the experience to pursue that compensation.
What this can look like
- Car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle and pedestrian crashes
- Slip, trip and fall injuries on property someone failed to keep safe
- Dog bites and animal attacks
- Construction site and workplace injuries
- Catastrophic injuries and wrongful death
The law on your side
Sophia has spent her career on the injured person's side of these cases, against insurers and some of the largest corporations in the world. That experience shapes how a case is built from the first day.
- Negligence
- Most injury cases ask whether someone failed to act with reasonable care and whether that failure caused your injuries.
- Full tort and limited tort
- In Pennsylvania, the choice on your own car insurance policy can affect what you may recover after a crash. Bring your policy's declarations page and we'll explain what it means.
- Wrongful death and survival claims
- When negligence takes a life, Pennsylvania law lets the family and the estate bring claims for their losses.
Mind the clock
Pennsylvania generally allows two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Claims against a government agency can require written notice within six months. Evidence fades faster than deadlines do, so call early.
These are general time limits, not legal advice. The deadline that applies to you depends on your facts.
What to gather
You don't need all of this to reach out. Bring what you have.
- The police or incident report number
- Photos of the scene, the vehicles or the hazard, and your injuries
- Medical records, bills and the names of your doctors
- Your insurance policy and the other party's insurance information
- Names and phone numbers of witnesses
- Records of missed work
Common questions
Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?
Be careful. Their adjuster works for them. Before you give a recorded statement or sign anything, talk with us.
What if I was partly at fault?
Pennsylvania allows recovery as long as you were not more at fault than the other side, though your share of fault can reduce the amount. Don't rule yourself out.
