It may take a few weeks for you to know for sure the extent of your injury, and if you will need a Philly injury lawyer to handle your claim.  However, what you do and don’t do in the days following a personal injury claim are critical to the success of your case.

Contact us immediately following an accident and take advantage of our free consultation and free legal advice in the weeks following your injury. We will help you to understand your rights under Pennsylvania Personal Injury Law. Before you attempt to negotiate with the insurance adjuster on your own, you should understand the risks involved in handling your own claim.

What is your pain and suffering worth? What is whiplash, a concussion, back injury, or other personal injury worth? Fox Law will give you an idea of what is a fair settlement offer as compensation for your injury.

Pennsylvania personal Injury law determines your case value based on your injury, your economic loss, and liability. Therefore, it usually takes time for the true value of a case to unfold.  There are many unknown factors that must be evaluated over time.  Correct diagnosis, length of treatment, medical bills, work loss, and future prognosis will all be factors in determining your case worth.  In the event that you are comparatively negligent, you can still recover for your injuries; however, your case value will be reduced by the percentage of your comparative negligence.  When your injuries are fully understood, we can give you the true value of what your case is worth.

Pennsylvania personal injury law states that the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is 2 years from the date of the accident, with some exceptions.  The statute may be extended, beginning when the plaintiff knew, or reasonably should have known, that an injury occurred and that it was caused by someone else’s negligent actions. Minors are also given special consideration. For minors, the 2-year statute-of-limitations begins on the minor's 18th birthday and ends on the minor’s 20th birthday. In the case of a wrongful death lawsuit, the deceased person’s family has 2 years from the date of the person’s death to file suit. Speaking with a Philly injury lawyer early on is the best way to preserve a successful claim.

There are some important do's and don'ts immediately following an accident that personal injury victims should know. Here is what you can do to get your personal injury claim off to the right start.

Document your injury.

Document your injury through doctors’ reports and your own personal diary following your accident.  Doctors' reports following an accident are critical to connect your injury to the accident.  A diary will help you remember how you were feeling and how long it took you to recover from your pain and suffering when you are asked to recount the details of your accident and injury months later.

Preserve evidence.

A picture tells a thousand words and can be very helpful in the successful outcome of your case.  If possible, take pictures of the accident scene.  Take close-up photos and distance photos showing the surrounding area. If the injury was caused by a defective condition on a raised sidewalk, take a picture of the defect with a ruler showing the height of the defect. A successful slip and fall personal injury claim requires proving that the owner knew or should have known of the defective condition; pictures can provide this type of evidence.  Pictures of the license plate, driver's license, insurance and registration cards are also helpful.

Obtain the police report.

Police reports are helpful in providing contact information and witness statements.  You are entitled to receive one copy of the police report. Your attorney may also obtain your police report.
