FAQ — Philadelphia Accident & Injury Cases

  • Do I need a lawyer if the other driver’s insurance already called me?

    Yes—insurance adjusters aim to minimize payouts. We help prepare your statement or respond for you, protecting your claim from day one.

  • What is a fair settlement for a car accident in Philadelphia?

    There’s no standard amount—value depends on your injuries, evidence, lost income, and insurance policies. We document every element to maximize your recovery.

  • How do contingency fees work in Pennsylvania?

    You pay nothing upfront. The lawyer only collects a fee if money is recovered for you. We explain the agreement clearly at intake.

  • What should I do after I’m hit as a pedestrian in Philly?

    Seek medical care, get a police report, collect witness info, and call us. Pedestrian claims can be complex—especially with city or SEPTA vehicles involved.

  • How long will my case take?

    It depends on injury, treatment, and negotiation. Many claims resolve in months; some take longer if litigation is needed. You’ll get a custom timeline and regular updates.
