Personal injury law protects us if we are injured by someone else’s negligence, such as by a drunk or distracted driver. The losses experienced in the wake of an accident are often immense, and obtaining fair compensation in a personal injury claim can mean the difference between reaching your most complete recovery and not. Our experienced Jefferson County personal injury lawyers at Conlon Tarker are standing by to help.
Common Personal Injury Claims
Some of the most common personal injury claims and related cases fall into the following categories:
- Traffic accidents that include car, truck, bus, motorcycle, bike, pedestrian, and hit-and-run accidents
- Slip and fall accidents that are based on property owners who fail to implement the same reasonable level of care that other reasonable owners would in similar situations
- Defective product claims, which are based on injuries caused by defects in relation to design, manufacture, warnings, or instructions
- Nursing home negligence or abuse, which covers losses sustained because a care facility failed to provide necessary care
- Medical malpractice, which is based on professional negligence, is a failure to implement the same level of care that one’s professional peers would under similar circumstances
- Dog bites, for which Pennsylvania uses a two-tiered system of strict liability for medical bills and a higher standard of proof for further liability
Personal injury claims like these are heard at the Jefferson County Court of Common Pleas, which is located at the Jefferson County Courthouse in Brookville, PA.
Your Personal Injury Attorney’s Role
Every personal injury claim is specific to the unique circumstances that apply, and a trusted personal injury lawyer can help in all the following critical ways:
- Skillfully gathering and compiling the evidence necessary to prove the other party’s negligence and the full extent of your related legal damages
- Speaking to the insurance company on your behalf, which helps to ensure your claim will not be weakened by an innocent comment made by you
- Engaging in robust negotiations with the insurance company in pursuit of the compensation that you deserve and that you need to recover
- Guiding you through the challenging legal process with your rights protected, which includes helping you avoid the kinds of mistakes that can limit your settlement, such as posting on social media while your claim is pending
- Filing a lawsuit and moving toward court if the insurance company refuses to engage in reasonable negotiations
