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.
