How a Philadelphia Personal Injury Lawyer Can Make a Difference in Your Case
After an accidental injury, many people debate whether to call an attorney or to try to handle the claims process themselves. You may not realize how challenging the insurance claims process can be, and not having representation may result in a settlement that is far less than you deserve.
Once you accept a settlement, you waive your right to seek more compensation from the at-fault party, so you will then be responsible for your remaining medical expenses and bills. On the other hand, if you contact the right Philadelphia personal injury lawyer, they can help with your claim in many different ways, such as:
- Evaluating who is liable for your injuries. While you may know that another driver hit your car, you may not realize that because the driver was on the job, you can also hold their employer liable. Your attorney will identify all possible sources of compensation and build proof of legal liability. Calculating what your claim is worth.
- Calculating damages involves more than adding up medical bills. Your attorney will factor in lost income, future losses, pain and suffering, and more. Many people grossly underestimate the amount of financial compensation they deserve and end up with a low settlement and out-of-pocket costs in the future. Having an experienced attorney on your side will ensure you are demanding every bit of compensation you are owed. It will also ensure that you receive the maximum compensation for your injuries.
- We stand up to insurance companies. Small personal injury claims typically settle without any issues. However, in claims where more money is at stake for the claimant and the insurance company, a dispute is usually more likely than a simple settlement. These commonly include claims with contested liability or fault, complex and expensive claims, and claims where the claimant and the insurance adjuster can’t come to a fair agreement. If your personal injury claim looks similar to these claims, you will need help from a personal injury law firm. When dealing with insurance companies for personal injury claims, it’s always best to consult a lawyer before even speaking to the insurance company’s representative. Talking to an experienced personal injury attorney in Philadelphia before contacting the insurance company about your claim could help prevent hurting your claim. Insurance companies don’t like giving out money, so they will always find excuses to deny claims and avoid paying.
What if the Insurance Company Denied My Claim?
If you received a claim denial, it’s unlikely that the insurance company will reverse its decision unless presented with new evidence. This is the main reason why you need a Philadelphia personal injury lawyer before negotiating with an insurance company. But if the insurance company has already denied your claim, an experienced lawyer can certainly help. Your lawyer could evaluate your claim from every angle and figure out if you can get the insurance company to change its mind.
Getting the Right Treatment for Your Injuries After a Philadelphia Accident
If you suffered serious injury, whether in a slip and fall accident, auto accident, or due to a defective product or medical malpractice, your first priority is to get appropriate medical treatment for your injuries as soon as possible. Even if you already received care from a paramedic, in an urgent care clinic, or an emergency room, it’s still best to continue with a recommended treatment. You might want to see your primary care physician if you have one. Otherwise, go to a doctor that you can trust.
Your primary care physician has experience treating you, knows your medical history, and will presumably recommend competent specialists, such as an orthopedist, physical therapist, or neurologist if you need one, based on your specific injuries. If the medical providers you sought help from qualify under your health insurance, inform them about your insurance information.
Beware of Shady Doctors
Keep in mind that some shady doctors might over-treat injuries in anticipation of a personal injury settlement. Some doctors might not fully document your injuries and treatment in the manner needed for your claim. Always seek medical treatment from a doctor you can trust or ask your personal injury lawyer for a referral.
Give Medical Providers a Detailed Description of Your Accident
It’s crucial to give your medical providers as much detail as you can about your accident and how it impacted your body and led to your injuries. Your detailed account of the accident will help your doctor figure out exactly how you suffered injuries, which will also help form the basis of your personal injury claim.
What to Know about Delayed Onset of Injury Symptoms
Plenty of accident survivors feel perfectly fine immediately after an accident but then feel sore and stiff or have difficulty moving around after several days following the accident. As soon as you feel any delayed symptoms after your accident, see your doctor immediately.
Explain to your doctor all the details of your accident, what you did after your accident, and exactly when and how you felt when your symptoms suddenly kicked in. Certain injuries, like a traumatic brain injury (TBI), chronic pain, or herniated disc, could take longer to manifest, and only competent doctors could determine whether injuries like these resulted from the accident.
Seeking the right medical treatment for the injuries you suffered from an accident helps diagnose and treat your injuries and document your symptoms. Ultimately, it will help you prove that your injuries resulted from the accident.
Will Having a Philadelphia Personal Injury Attorney Increase My Chances of Success?
Most insurance companies deflect, delay, and deny legitimate claims by unrepresented individuals instead of settling claims quickly and fairly. Remember that insurance companies often deny claims based on shady or manipulative reasoning, especially claims of unrepresented claimants. On the other hand, they probably won’t be as bold at denying claims of claimants who have legal representation.
It’s also crucial to know that it’s common practice for insurance companies to use sneaky tactics on individuals who don’t have a lawyer on their side. For instance, if they know that the claimant has a valid claim, they’ll present a quick but low settlement number, hoping that the claimant will accept the offer. Unfortunately, this happens a lot.
Likewise, if the insurance company knows that you’ll have a hard time proving your claim, they’ll deny it, hoping that you’ll walk away. Again, unfortunately, many people end up just walking away from a settlement that they could’ve received if they’d just had a lawyer working tirelessly for them.
The reality is that many personal injury claims are simply too complex to handle by regular people, and an attorney who knows how to stand up to insurance companies will ensure that you get the compensation you deserve.
Finding the Right Philadelphia Personal Injury Attorney
Working with the right personal injury lawyer could make a huge difference between a successful and failed personal injury claim. But most people don’t even have a go-to lawyer, much less need a lawyer until such time that they do. So how do you go about finding the personal injury attorney that will be perfect for you? Here are some essential tips.
Ask Recommendations from Trusted People
Get recommendations from relatives, friends, or coworkers that you really trust. You can also look up lawyers in your area online or check community referral services. However, be aware that each personal injury claim is different and that an attorney who’s perfect for another person may not be perfect for you or your specific claim. So make sure to work with a personal injury lawyer that has extensive experience with claims that are similar to yours.
If possible, listen to client experiences too. Ask detailed questions while still being respectful of their privacy, just to get a clear idea of each individual’s experiences with the lawyer. Pay attention to things like how satisfied they were with the outcome of their case, how helpful their attorney was, and how the attorney handled the case from the beginning to the end.
List Down Things that are Most Important to You
When looking for a personal injury lawyer, you should have a set of criteria that you can refer to. For instance, you probably want a lawyer who works on a contingent fee basis, which means that you won’t have to pay anything if you don’t win your claim. Other crucial things to consider when selecting a personal injury attorney may include:
- The attorney’s experience with your specific claim
- The attorney’s credentials
- The attorney’s availability
- The firm’s access to resources and years of experience
- Case fees
- Experiences of past clients
- Success record
Keep in mind that the specific type of injuries you sustained is also crucial when looking for a lawyer to take on your claim. Some lawyers only focus on automobile accidents or medical malpractice claims, while others handle all areas of personal injury. So consider your prospective lawyer’s experience with your injuries and the particular circumstances of your claim.
That said, recommendations, even from trusted individuals, can’t guarantee that a particular attorney will be perfect for you—you alone can make that decision. So make sure to cover all your bases, do your homework, and go with your instincts.
You Should Not Have to Pay for Someone Else’s Mistakes
No matter how minor or serious your injuries may be, the costs of medical treatment can be overwhelming. Even visiting the emergency room can result in hefty bills, and the party responsible for your accident should be held fully liable for those costs.
Philadelphia personal injury victims can typically demand payment for medical expenses and more, including:
- Emergency Transportation
- Emergency Trauma Care
- Doctor’s Visits
- Specialist Visits
- Hospitalization
- Surgeries
- Rehabilitative Therapy
- Medical Equipment and Medications
- Lost Income Due to the Injury
- A Reduction in Earning Ability Over Time
- Pain and Suffering
- Loss of Enjoyment of Life
For individuals who suffered injuries with long-lasting or permanent effects, they may require ongoing medical treatment for years after their personal injury case or perhaps for the rest of their lives. You deserve to be compensated for all of your losses ─ both past and future.
At The Levin Firm Personal Injury Lawyers, your personal injury attorney will understand how to estimate all of the losses you may incur in the future to ensure that you demand the full amount you deserve. If you have been injured in any type of accident, please call a Philadelphia personal injury attorney at our firm today to discuss a possible case at no cost.
Proving Liability for Your Injuries
Most personal injury claims stem from accidents that happen due to unintentional conduct. Incidents like these typically involve a claim of negligence, which can sometimes be hard to prove when determining liability or fault. The easiest way to prove liability for an accident and the resulting injuries is when the defendant admits they were to blame. But this doesn’t always happen, so you will likely require different kinds of evidence to give the insurance company or court a complete and more detailed picture of the accident and your injuries.
Evidence can include:
- Pictures and videos of the accident
- Legal documents, including police reports and/or contracts
- Witness testimony
- Medical records
- Records of correspondences between all parties involved
- Insurance claims
Proving Another Party was Negligent
Often, personal injury claims arise because an individual acted negligently, and that individual’s actions caused an accident that harmed another individual. Negligence is any behavior or action that harmed another individual and didn’t meet the standard of reasonable care expected of a normal and practical individual.
So to prove that another individual should be held liable for your injuries, you need to prove the following negligence elements:
- Duty: The defendant owed you a legal duty. For instance, all drivers owe other motorists a legal duty of care, which means that all drivers should always exercise reasonable care when handling or driving a vehicle.
- Breach: You should prove that the defendant breached or violated a legal duty. For instance, using the example above, if the defendant answered a text message or email on their phone while driving.
- Causation: The negligent actions of the defendant should have led to your injuries. In most cases, this legal element is typically obvious. For instance, if the defendant’s vehicle collided with your vehicle because the defendant was texting while driving, then causation is undeniable.
- Damages: You should have incurred actual damages, which are usually monetary, due to the accident. This can include medical expenses, property damage, pain and suffering, and lost earnings.
Put simply, if your personal injury claim involves negligence, you’ll need to show that the defendant owed you a duty of care, that the defendant breached that duty, proximate and actual causation that links the defendant’s breach to your injuries, and actual damages or losses.
Common Damages in Personal Injury Claims
Damages in personal injury claims restore injured individuals to their position before the accident. They’re also commonly called compensatory damages because they compensate injured individuals for the injuries they sustained.
Let’s say, for instance, that you sustained injuries and that your car sustained damage because another car collided with yours. In this case, the law entitles you to damages that you can use to pay medical expenses for your injury and repair your car to its previous state. You may also receive damages for loss of income while you recovered from your injuries.
In general, the two kinds of damages you can receive from a personal injury claim include special damages and general damages.
What are Special Damages?
Special damages, also called economic damages, aim to compensate the injured party for quantifiable and specific monetary losses that the injured party suffered. These can include:
- Medical expenses
- Loss of income or loss of future income
- Projected costs of future medical treatment
- Property damage
- Household or domestic expenses, since the injured individual didn’t properly maintain or clean the house while recovering
- Costs related to altered plans or trips
What are General Damages?
Depending on the specific circumstances of a personal injury claim, injured individuals may also receive damages for losses that are not quantifiable through monetary calculations. These are also called non-economic damages and can include:
- Pain and suffering, which can include physical pain like body aches and broken bones, as well as mental suffering, which can include PTSD and mental anguish, among others
- Humiliation and embarrassment
- Disfigurement
- Permanent disability
- Loss of personal enjoyment
- Loss of companionship or consortium, which is the loss of familial relationships, including sexual relationships for spouses
Take note that the amount and specific kinds of damages you could recover would be dependent on the damages you experienced due to your injury. Your family may even recover damages, depending on why and how much your injury affected your relationship with them. Your personal injury lawyer will help you figure out your options to help you seek the damages you deserve.

There are different reasons why injured accident victims may not seek help from an experienced personal injury lawyer, including concerns about the cost. The good news is that many people end up with significantly more in their pockets when they have the right legal representation.
Unlike many other types of lawyers, most personal injury lawyers do not bill you for litigation costs or hourly fees during your case. Your case evaluation is free, and we only get paid if we successfully get a settlement or verdict for you. Our fees come directly from your payout, which means you never have to pay anything out of pocket during your case.
Having the right attorney can often result in a significantly higher settlement payment. Consider the following:
Scenario A:
You handle your claim on your own, seeking $15,000 to cover your medical expenses and lost income. You receive $11,000 from the insurance company, since they questioned some of your damages and you did not know how to prove otherwise. You use the full $11,000 to pay as many expenses as you can.
Scenario B:
You consult with The Levin Firm Personal Injury Lawyers and we determine that your claim should be worth $30,000 due to the need for future medical care, future missed work, and the physical suffering you experienced. We prove the full amount of your damages and obtain the $30,000 settlement for you. Of that $30,000, $9,000 goes to cover attorney’s fees and costs, leaving you with $21,000. That is $10,000 more than Scenario A.
This is one example of how it can be entirely worth it to discuss your claim with a personal injury attorney in Philadelphia. Keep in mind that insurance companies will do anything possible to lower your settlement, especially if you are unrepresented. Having a skilled lawyer shows the insurer that you mean business, and that you will not hesitate to file a personal injury lawsuit if needed.
HOW MANY PERSONAL INJURY CASES HAVE YOU HANDLED?
Experience matters when it comes to injury-related claims. The Levin Firm Personal Injury Lawyers has been successfully representing accident victims and their families since 2005, handling a broad range of complex injury claims.
HAVE YOU HANDLED CASES LIKE MINE?
Some personal injury lawyers do not regularly handle cases involving severe injuries or complicated accidents. However, at The Levin Firm Personal Injury Lawyers, we have selectively built a diverse team of attorneys who have extensive experience in many types of cases involving catastrophic injuries and accidents.
DO YOU EVER TAKE CASES TO COURT?
It is not always possible to resolve every personal injury case directly with the insurance company. Although we are able to settle many claims for the full amount, our experienced litigators are always prepared to file a lawsuit and argue your case at trial.
We are not a “settlement mill” law firm that pushes every client to accept quick settlements, even if they are too low. Our goal is to obtain maximum compensation for you, and that means going to battle in court whenever it’s necessary.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO HIRE A LAWYER?
We work on a contingency fee arrangement, where you only pay us attorney fees if we recover money for you. Then, our fees come as a percentage of your compensation. We find that this arrangement benefits our clients because they never pay out of pocket, and they can trust that we are fighting for the maximum compensation they deserve because our own payment depends on it.
WILL YOU PERSONALLY HANDLE MY CASE?
Yes, at The Levin Firm Personal Injury Lawyers, the attorney you meet with in your initial consultation is the attorney who will handle your case from start to finish. You will not be passed off to a paralegal, a legal assistant, a case manager, or bounced around to different associates.
Our Philadelphia Personal Injury Attorneys Take on Even the Most Complex Claims
Accidents in Philadelphia can happen to anyone in many different ways, and the type of incident that occurred will help dictate the major legal questions of your case. For example, if your injury occurred at work, your claim will differ substantially from a claim that arises from a car accident or injuries caused by medical malpractice.
Philly accident victims can also suffer a wide array of injuries. Some injuries can be complicated and difficult to understand, so you need an experienced Philadelphia personal injury lawyer on your side who can demonstrate the significant effect on your life. Some complex and severe injuries that are often involved in our cases include the following:
Spinal cord injuries. Because the spine is integral for movement, sensory abilities, and organ functioning of most of the body, any injury can cause serious disruption. Spinal cord injuries can cause temporary or permanent paralysis in many victims.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI). Any amount of damage to the delicate tissue of the brain can be serious, and even mild concussions require medical attention. Severe TBIs can cause permanent disabilities involving physical, cognitive, or emotional functioning.
Neck and back injuries. While neck or back injuries may not seem so serious at first, these injuries can cause chronic pain that can plague you for years. Victims often require ongoing treatment and may aggravate the injury easily.
As skilled personal injury attorneys, our practice areas are varied so that we can assist clients who are injured in many different ways. No matter what type of accident occurred, we can identify and address any issues or questions in your case.
NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF ACCIDENT OCCURRED, WE CAN IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS ANY ISSUES OR QUESTIONS IN YOUR CASE.
