Personal Injury First Steps
Each accident and each injury is different.
The following are general guidelines for an accident resulting in serious injury.
- First and foremost, stay calm and seek proper medical attention.
- Call 911 immediately and let the dispatcher know exactly where you are and what has happened.
- Do not move an injured person unless not moving them poses a greater risk, such as if imminent danger of fire or an explosion at the scene of the accident exists.
- If there is danger of fire or an explosion, immediately get to a safe place.
Once the health and safety of those involved is secured, take the following steps to support your position in any legal claim you may pursue related to any injury.
- Get the names and contact information of any witnesses.
- Write down the details of what happened while these are fresh in your mind.
- Keep notes of conversations with anyone involved in the accident.
- Take photographs to show the injury and possibly indicate who caused the injury.
- In the event of an automobile accident, contact your insurance company and provide all facts about the accident, as well as information regarding the individuals involved and the contact information for any witnesses.
- Do not admit fault. Fault cannot be determined until the accident site is correctly assessed by the police or by an accident specialist.
- Keep or obtain copies of all medical records.
- List any expenses incurred, such as hospital visits, medical bills, etc.
- Keep a record of lost work or wages.
- If a defective product has injured you, preserve the product along with any instructions, warnings, and receipts.
Seek expert legal advice as soon as possible after an injury or accident. Call Abrahamsen, Conaboy & Abrahamsen P.C.; our attorneys can identify which issues need immediate attention, steer you away from situations that could jeopardize your claim, and build a case for maximum compensation.
- Don’t waive your legal rights. Do not provide statements to an insurance company or sign any insurance company documents until you have spoken to a personal injury lawyer at our firm.
- Notify the person you may file a suit against of your intention to file a claim for your injuries and/or damages.
- File your claim promptly. Statutes of limitations establish time limits for bringing a lawsuit.
- Don’t talk about your case with others.

Compensation Available in Personal Injury Cases
When another party's negligence causes your injuries, Pennsylvania law entitles you to pursue compensation for the full scope of your losses.
Available damages include:
- Medical expenses. All costs related to your injury treatment—emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, rehabilitation, prescription medications, medical equipment, and future medical needs.
- Lost income. Wages you've lost due to inability to work during recovery, plus compensation for diminished future earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous employment or reduce your ability to earn income.
- Pain and suffering. Physical pain, emotional distress, mental anguish, and the overall impact of your injuries on your quality of life and daily activities.
- Loss of enjoyment of life. Compensation for your inability to participate in activities, hobbies, and experiences you previously enjoyed.
- Loss of consortium. Available to spouses who have suffered loss of companionship, affection, and support due to their partner's injuries.
- Wrongful death damages. In fatal cases, surviving family members may recover losses resulting from their loved one's death.
The value of your case depends on the severity of your injuries, the extent of your medical treatment, how the injuries affect your ability to work and enjoy life, the strength of evidence establishing the defendant's liability, and the insurance coverage available.
