Seek immediate medical attention. Prompt medical care can help your Philadelphia personal injury lawyer establish a link between the accident and your injury.
Document details of the accident, including accident scene photos and any visible injuries.
Exchange information, such as names, licenseplate numbers, and insurance information, with other involved parties; don’t admit culpability or apologize.
Inform your insurer about the accident, but don’t provide a recorded statement to insurance representatives.
Call a personal injury lawyer in Philadelphia with the experience, know-how, resources, and reputation for representation.

What Is Negligence in a Philadelphia Personal Injury Case?

Most accident cases in Philadelphia are based on the tort of negligence, which is “the failure to meet a standard of behavior established to protect society against unreasonable risk.” Negligence is a crucial factor in personal injury cases and the cornerstone of liability.

However, proving negligence in a personal injury case, be it an auto accident, construction site accident, nursing home abuse case, or dog bite attack, isn’t always straightforward and requires the help of an experienced personal injury lawyer in Philadelphia. Keep in mind that the burden of proof in personal injury cases rests on you as an injured victim in order to receive compensation for damages.

Don’t fret, though; the personal injury legal team at Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq is here to help you prove negligence beyond reasonable doubt by establishing these four essential elements:

1. Duty of Care

Did the at-fault party have a duty to be have in a certain manner or perform certain duties? For instance, Philadelphiadrivers must operate their vehicles while sober. On the other hand, truckdrivers must abide by state and federal hours of service regulations.

2. Breach of Said Duty

Did the at-fault party breach their duty of care by acting negligently? For instance, if a driver operates their vehicle above the 0.08% blood alcohol concentration (BAC) legal limit in Pennsylvania — 0.04% for commercial truck drivers — they breach their duty of care. A nursing home staff member who sexually assaults residents or a doctor whose careless actions injure your child during delivery also breaches their duty of care.

3. Causation

Did the other party’s actions cause the accident? Consider this scenario: A building owner is aware that their building’s escalator or elevator is faulty and doesn’t meet state safety and maintenance regulations. If you or someone else gets injured while using the faulty elevator, and the property owner knew about the problem yet disregarded the issue, their negligence and breach of duty caused the accident and led to your injuries. Such an incident warrants a premises liability claim.

4. Damages

Did the accident lead to any losses? Damages available in Philadelphia personal injury claims may include:

Medical bills
Lost wages
Lost earning capacity
Property damage
Pain and suffering
Altered quality of life
Loss of consortium
Wrongful death benefits after the loss of a loved one
Punitive damages, in some cases

As you can see, proving negligence in a case isn’t always easy. This is why you need the help of an experienced Philadelphia personal injury attorney to gather and analyze evidence such as medical records, police reports, witness statements, and video footage to prove the other party’s negligence.

What Are the Common Types of Personal Injury Claims?

According to the Centers for Disease Controland Prevention (CDC), there were approximately 25.5 million emergency department visits for unintentional injuries in 2021. The CDC also claims that there were 224,935 unintentional injury deaths, with 44,686 being unintentional fall deaths. However, not all accidental injuries in Philadelphia qualify for an injury claim. A party, whether an individual, government entity, or corporation, must be liable for you to receive damages.

Personal injury claims in the Philadelphia area that our attorneys commonly handle include the following:

If you have sustained injuries in any of the above accidents or any other personal injury accident and believe someone else is to blame for your accident, contact a Philadelphia personal injury lawyer immediately to find out if you have a case.

What Are the Common Injuries People Get From Philadelphia Accidents?

The damages an injured victim may secure in a Philadelphia injury claim largely depend on the type and severity of their injuries. At Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq, our attorneys handle cases involving accident victims who sustain injuries that include:

Whiplash
Neck injuries
Back injuries
Amputations
Spinal cord injuries
Burns
Fractures
Knee injuries
Traumatic brain injuries
Hip and pelvis injuries
Chest injuries
Birth injuries
Internal organ damage, such as punctured lungs, damaged kidneys, broken ribs, and ruptured spleen
Electrocution
Scarring and disfigurement
Paralysis

Whether you have suffered a minor or catastrophic injury in an accident, it’s best to seek medical attention immediately and keep a record of your symptoms, treatments, and bills. This is crucial when building a compelling personal injury case in the Philadelphia area and proving the accident caused your injuries.

When Should I Contact a Philadelphia Personal Injury Lawyer?

After an accident, it’s normal for victims to wonder, “Should I hire a personal injury attorney in Philadelphia?” The answer is ‘yes,’ and as soon as possible. Why? Because personal injury law is complicated, you need an attorney who knows the ins and outs of such cases and can represent you in negotiations to ensure you get a fair settlement. Remember, insurance companies will fight you every step of the way to deny or limit your injury claim.

Here are a few circumstances when you should contact an experienced Philadelphia personal injury lawyer:

When you want to find out if you have a valid case
When you need your accident investigated
When you want to file your case on time
When medical professionals, unsafe products, or defective products were to blame for injuries
When the insurer disputes your claim
When the insurer refuses to negotiate
When the insurer forces you to sign documents
When the insurer delays payment for damages

Don’t wait for too long to contact a lawyer. When you contact our injury law firm in Philadelphia, our legal team will:

Familiarize themselves with your case
Gather and analyze evidence
Examine your medical records and police reports
Interview witnesses
Prove negligence and liability
Handle settlement talks
Take your case to trial

What Questions Should I Ask Before Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer?

When choosing the right personal injury lawyer for your case, it’s best to consider a lawyer with a great track record, positive client reviews, and one who takes a personalized approach to everycase while prioritizing their client’s needs. You can set up an initial consultation to figure out whether the attorney is the best choice for your case. Some of the questions that you can ask include:

What is your experience handling cases like mine?
Who will handle my case?
Do you charge an hourly fee, flat fee, or contingency fee?
Do I have a valid claim?
How much is my Philadelphia personal injury case worth?
How will I be informed about the progress of my case?
How long do I have to file a case?
Should I respond to calls, texts, and emails from the insurance company?
What steps should I take now?

At Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq, our legal team is ready to guide you throughout the claims process. We value communication and will always keep you updated on the progress of your case. Our attorneys will also help you understand your options and all possible avenues of compensation.

What Factors Affect the Value of Your Personal Injury Claim?

The value of your case typically depends onthe extent of your injuries. To determine the value of your claim, here are some questions that can shed more light:

What type of accident were you involved in?
Were you severely hurt?
Are you temporarily or permanently disabled?
Can you go back to work, and after how long? Weeks? Months?
How much will it cost to repair orreplace any property damage?
How has the crash affected you emotionally and mentally?
Have you experienced pain and suffering due to the accident?
Has the incident interfered with how you enjoy your life?

Don’t let insurance companies dictate to you how much your personal injury case is worth, regardless of how friendly and caring their representatives seem. Insurance companies are for-profit companies. Their primary goal is to protect their bottom lines, churn out profits, and not pay out on claims. They certainly don’t have your best interests at heart.

Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq does. Our Philadelphia personal injury attorneys will work with experts, including doctors and economists, to ensure we get the valuation process right.

Can I Recover Compensation if I’m Partially at Fault?

Yes. You can recover compensation in Philadelphia even if you are at fault. But there’s a catch: Pennsylvania applies the modified comparative fault system when assigning fault. This implies that if your fault for the accident is 51% or more, you cannot recover any damages. Your share of the blame must be 50% or less to recover damages.

Sharing some blame, but not most, will affect your compensation. If you share some blame, your financial award will be reduced in proportion to your percentage of fault. For example, if you are assigned 35% of the blame, you may only be eligible to receive 65% of the damages.

Insurance companies will try to pin the blame on you, even if there’s little to no evidence that you were at fault. If other involved parties are trying to do this, it’s advisable to consult a reputable personal injury attorney in Philadelphia. Your attorney can gather evidence to prove that the other party was at fault for the accident and your injuries.

Contact Our Philadelphia Personal Injury Attorneys Today To Get Started

Even though you need a personal injury attorney to protect your rights and interests when dealing with insurance companies, not every lawyer suits your case. It’s best to have an attorney with relevant experience and resources to stand firm against insurance companies, ensuring they don’t dodge their financial responsibility for the at-fault party’s negligence.

Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq’s Philadelphia law firm, has over 30 attorneys specializing in personal injury practices. From car accidents to work injuries, premises liability, and wrongful death, we are ready to help you get the justice you deserve.
