We know the challenges of these cases, which is why we take the time to develop a custom-tailored strategy for every client we represent through these cases.

Pittsburgh Personal Injury Cases We Handle
When the consequences of catastrophic injuries can last a lifetime, it only stands to reason that the compensation you receive for those injuries reflects those consequences. Our goal as your Pittsburgh personal injury lawyers is to maximize the settlement you receive in your case so that you have the resources necessary to make ends meet throughout any injury, including:
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Crashes in a car, SUV, van or pickup truck can leave you with lasting injuries, unexpected expenses and time away from work. Don’t try to manage the process on your own when our lawyers can help.
Truck Accidents
Accidents with semis and big rigs, as well as construction vehicles and garbage trucks, often cause catastrophic or fatal injuries. Get legal help with determining liability in these complex accidents right away.
Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Commercial vehicles include delivery vans, box trucks, refrigerated trucks, shuttles, taxis and more. They are covered by commercial insurance policies, which are quite complicated. You’ll need an attorney to make sense of the policy and your options.
Slip-And-Fall Accidents
Wet floors, slick surfaces, uneven pavement, defective stairs, poor lighting and objects on the ground can cause serious injuries from falls. We can hold the responsible party accountable for their negligence.
Medical Negligence Injuries
When doctors or hospitals make mistakes, the consequences can be life-changing. You will need an experienced legal team to get compensation and justice in a medical malpractice claim.
Wrongful Death
If you lose a loved one due to another party’s negligence, you deserve justice and financial support for your family. You may be able to recover damages for emotional distress, the loss of a loved one, loss of household services, and funeral and burial expenses.
Construction Zone Injuries
Construction sites are often the scene of falls, equipment accidents, heavy machinery accidents, falling objects, structural collapse and electric shock injuries. We help you pursue justice when safety is ignored on the site.
Brain Injuries
Head trauma can cause permanent challenges with memory, movement and independence. In the most severe cases, a traumatic brain injury can be fatal.
Animal Bites
Dog bites and other attacks often cause painful injuries and lasting fear, especially for children. You will likely need extensive medical care and possibly reconstructive surgery, as well.
Premises Liability
Unsafe property conditions like open hazards, broken stairs or slippery floors can cause serious harm. You may suffer brain injuries, broken bones, spinal cord injuries and more.
We explore all options to help our clients and take on as much of the work in their personal injury case as possible, so they can focus on their health while we are guiding them through their case. From gathering medical documents to consulting with expert witnesses, our Pittsburgh personal injury attorneys will do all that we can when it comes to protecting your best interests.

How Long Do You Have To File A Personal Injury Claim In Pennsylvania?
