Suffering an injury because of another person’s wrongdoing can completely throw your life and finances into chaos. Injuries cost money to treat, and a severe accident can leave you unable to work and earn an income. Many injury victims also face emotional and mental scarring that affects their capacity to enjoy life.
The attorneys at SMT Legal are aware of the difficulties our clients face, and our strategy of pursuing the maximum amount of financial compensation available is built on our concern for those who rely on us. Compensation for personal injury claims can cover losses such as:
Insurance companies are notorious for using various tactics to deny and reduce claims. They might dispute the severity of your injuries or claim the accident was your fault. We are not afraid to deal with insurance companies aggressively to argue for compensation.
If insurance companies are not responsive to your claims, we can also take steps to initiate a formal lawsuit against the at-fault party. We are experienced litigators. We will lead the fight to recover compensation for your losses.
Compensation or damages in personal injury claims reimburse the victim for expenses and losses they suffered because of their injuries. Compensation falls into two main types: economic damages and non-economic damages.
Economic damages are compensation for all expenses that have a determinate dollar value. The most obvious economic damages are medical bills and lost income, but they can also include future medical expenses if you will require ongoing care, loss of earning potential if you become disabled and cannot work, or loss of business opportunity.
Non-economic damages are compensation for intangible losses that don’t have a specific monetary value. The classic examples of non-economic damages are money for pain and suffering, emotional distress, or scarring and disfigurement.
Injuries from accidents create a lot of bills, and it can be hard to keep track of all your expenses. For someone who has never been injured by someone else before, it can be difficult to know what counts as a compensable loss. A personal injury attorney can advise you about all the losses for which you’re entitled to seek compensation. They can assess the total value of your claim and submit a demand letter to the at-fault party’s insurer to initiate settlement negotiations for your claim.
Every case differs, so it is impossible to predict how much compensation you can receive for your personal injury claim until your lawyer reviews the details of your case. However, our team at SMT Legal has a proven track record of successful settlements. We have recovered millions in compensation for injury victims and are seasoned in negotiating with insurance companies to help our clients get the support and compensation they need.
Our strategy regarding compensation is simple: We fight for the maximum compensation available so our clients get full redress their accident-related losses. Injuries create enormous financial pressure, so pursuing maximum restitution allows our clients to cover their expenses and have enough money to rebuild their lives.
After an injury, the last thing you probably want to focus on is dealing with your insurance company or filing a formal lawsuit. You might be in chronic pain or struggling to pay bills because you cannot work.
That’s where we come in. We can handle all the legal aspects of your personal injury claim and pursue financial compensation so you can focus on healing and getting your life back to normal. A personal injury attorney can:
Insufficient documentation or missed deadlines can greatly disrupt a personal injury claim. It’s in your best interest to work with an experienced attorney who can walk you through the claims process to avoid delays or disputes.
The statute of limitations on personal injury claims in Pennsylvania allows an injured person two years from the date of accident to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party. If you wait too long and file suit after the deadline lapses, the court can dismiss your case without a hearing. You will lose your right to pursue compensation in court.
Like many other states, Pennsylvania has an additional discovery rule that can extend the statute of limitations. According to this rule, the two-year time counter doesn’t start until the victim could have reasonably discovered they had an injury.
Say you slip and fall in a store and initially seem to have no injuries. Six months later, you discover a spinal cord injury that developed over time because of your accident. In this case, the two-year counter wouldn’t start until you became aware of the injury six months after the slip and fall accident.
If another person’s wrongdoing or inaction has caused you harm, you need relief. The personal injury attorneys at SMT Legal stand ready to fight for the compensation you deserve. Contact us online or call today at (412) 765-3345 for a free case consultation.
