Car Accidents near Abington, PA

Auto accident fatalities for the last decade average just under 40,000 a year in the U.S. which is down from a high of 55,000 in 1973. This is remarkable because of the increase in population and miles driven over the past five decades, however, this is still a very large number.

The people of Abington become part of this risk due to the number of hours they spend in their cars. Many residents commute into Philadelphia every day to work. Some take Old York Road to avoid the lights on 611 and head south into the city. Others take I-276 east to Highway 1 which will put them on the east side of the city. If they work in west Philly, they can take I-276 west to I-476, which can also take them to south Philly.

Personal injury is by far the most common cases in which lawsuits go to court across the nation. It is a wide field, and the need for these issues to be addressed is high enough that most people deem it worthy of their time. If you have been in a car accident, been the victim of a defective product, or any of the other accidents and misfortunes that fall under the personal injury rubric, you want to be made whole. The Abington, PA personal injury attorneys at The Pearce Law Firm, P.C. can help you obtain the appropriate compensation for what you have gone through.

Common Types of Personal Injury Cases

Because it is such a wide-ranging field, you may be confused as to whether your case actually counts as a personal injury matter, or whether it falls under another heading.

Some of the most common personal injury causes of action include:

These are perhaps the most common, though many others exist. Essentially, if you have experienced an injury as a result of someone else’s reckless or negligent conduct, you have a personal injury case, though it may or may not be worth pursuing. The Abington, PA attorneys at The Pearce Law Firm, P.C. have many years of experience in the field, and will be able to advise you as to how a case ought to proceed.

Why Sue?

When you have been in an accident, or you have a loved one who has been injured or killed, the last thing you need is to spend money you may not have on medical care, and have to wade through legal hoops in order to get any of it back. You should be recuperating, and helping your family rebound from what can be a massively traumatic event.

Another factor that stops many from engaging legal counsel is the fear of high attorney’s fees. The Pearce Law Firm, P.C. takes cases on a contingent basis, meaning that if you do not recover, you have no attorney’s fees to pay – if you obtain a favorable outcome at trial, or if you reach a settlement, your attorney’s fees will come from a small percentage of your recovery.

Personal injury lawsuits are designed to help the victim of an accident recoup what they have lost or had to spend from the person or people who were negligent. In many cases, this will not happen without a lawsuit. We will try and settle your case with the insurance company, and we may be able to avoid filing a lawsuit. However, many times, insurance companies either refuse to pay, or offer a settlement far lower than what you may be owed. Bringing suit can remind an insurance company of its fiduciary duty, and procure a fairer settlement for you.

If you or a loved one has been injured, you have a right to try and regain what you have lost. The experienced assistance of the Abington, PA personal injury lawyers at The Pearce Law Firm, P.C. can make the difference between recovery and lack thereof.
