We have eight personal injury attorneys here at SMT Legal, each of whom has extensive experience in their field. Our firm combines high-level legal experience with personal attention to get you the results you deserve. You can always expect to interact directly with a skilled attorney with strong case preparation and litigation skills.
We have recovered many multi-million-dollar settlements for our clients, including a $4 million product liability settlement and $2.5 million for a client who was injured while working on a construction site. It doesn’t matter whether you were injured in an auto accident or a slip-and-fall incident. We can help. However, keep in mind that past results are not a guarantee of a similar outcome. Every case must be evaluated on its own merits.
In 2025, 8,587 Allegheny County residents sustained injuries due to falls. Another 448 were injured as occupants of motor vehicles, and 339 were struck by/against accidents. In other words, if you’ve been in an accident and sustained serious injuries, you are not alone. The good news is that in many of these cases, accident victims were able to hire a personal injury lawyer to help them receive compensation for their injuries, and you can, too.
Working with a personal injury attorney is the most effective way to promote a positive outcome in your case and get fairly compensated for the harm you have suffered. Your lawyer can handle all the details of your claim, from filing paperwork to gathering evidence and evaluating the extent of your damages, so you can concentrate on healing from your injuries instead of negotiating with insurance companies and making your case in court.
Most personal injury claims are based on the theory of negligence, which can manifest itself in many different ways depending on the context. Some common types of claims include:
Personal injury claims can also be brought for assault. You might hold not just the person who assaulted you, but also the property owner who failed to take steps to keep their premises safe for visitors, liable for any injuries you sustained.
Pennsylvania uses a system of modified comparative fault, which allows accident victims to recover compensation even if they were partially to blame for the injuries they sustained. If you are 50% at fault or less, you could still file an injury claim. Your settlement amount could be reduced commensurate with the portion of fault you were assigned.
Pennsylvania has a two-year statute of limitations for filing personal injury claims. If you fail to take action within this time frame, you could be left unable to pursue compensation for your injuries, whether they occurred during a car accident on Route 112 or because of medical malpractice at WellSpan Good Samaritan Hospital. Don’t wait until the statute of limitations is approaching to take action. Contact a lawyer as soon as you have been medically stabilized.
From multi million-dollar injury settlements to complex criminal defense—get the team that fights to win.

You should not tell your personal injury lawyer lies or exaggerate the extent of your injuries. Your Mount Lebanon personal injury attorney needs a clear idea of what happened, who was liable, and how extensively your injuries are affecting your daily life to build a robust case. If you lie, it could lead to your lawyer being blindsided in negotiations or at trial, which won’t help your case.
It is worth filing a claim for personal injury if you sustained compensable damages. Those can include both economic damages, such as hospital bills and lost wages, and non-economic damages, like physical distress and emotional suffering. If you’re not sure whether you have a strong personal injury claim, contact our office to discuss the specifics of your claim with one of our attorneys.
Most personal injury lawyers charge a contingency fee, which means that they take a percentage of your final settlement. The exact percentage that they take could vary depending on factors such as whether your case goes to trial and how much experience your attorney has. You can set up a consultation to get an idea of what you can expect to pay in legal fees for your case.
How much you can get for physical distress and emotional suffering in PA depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, how long it took you to heal from them, and the extent of your economic damages related to the injuries. We can examine the details of your claim to determine the extent of the compensation you may recover through filing a personal injury claim.
