Why You Need Experienced Counsel Against Insurance Companies

Insurance companies aren’t on your side. Their business model depends on minimizing payouts, and even when liability seems clear and your injuries are serious, insurers use sophisticated tactics to reduce what they pay you.

How Insurers Work Against Your Claim

They contact you immediately after an accident, hoping to get a recorded statement before you understand your rights or the full extent of your injuries. They can later use that statement to dispute your claim. They make lowball settlement offers designed to close cases cheaply before you know what your damages are actually worth. They dispute liability by arguing you caused or contributed to the accident, challenge your medical treatment by claiming injuries aren’t as serious as you’ve described, and delay claims processing to pressure you into accepting less than you deserve.

Without experienced legal representation, you face all of this while managing injuries, medical appointments, and financial stress. Our injury attorneys level the playing field.

What to Do After a Serious Injury

Every accident and every 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.
Don’t move an injured person unless staying put poses a greater risk, such as an imminent threat of fire or explosion at the scene.
If there is danger of fire or explosion, get to a safe place immediately.

Once the health and safety of those involved is secured, take the following steps to protect your position in any legal claim you may pursue.

Get the names and contact information of any witnesses.
Write down the details of what happened while they’re fresh in your mind.
Keep notes of conversations with anyone involved in the accident.
Photograph the scene and your injuries as soon as it’s safe to do so.
In an automobile accident, contact your insurance company and provide the facts of the accident along with information about the individuals involved and any witness contact information.
Don’t admit fault. Fault can’t be determined until the scene has been properly assessed by police or an accident specialist.
Keep or obtain copies of all medical records.
List any expenses incurred, including hospital visits and medical bills.
Keep a record of lost work and wages.
If a defective product caused your injury, preserve it along with any instructions, warnings, and receipts.

Get legal advice as soon as possible after an injury. 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 compensation.

Don’t waive your legal rights. Don’t give statements to an insurance company or sign any insurance documents before speaking with a personal injury lawyer at our firm.
Notify the person you may file suit against of your intention to pursue a claim.
File your claim promptly. In Pennsylvania, the general statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident under 42 Pa.C.S. Section 5524. Exceptions apply for minors, claims involving government entities, and injuries that aren’t discovered immediately. Missing this deadline can bar your claim entirely.
Don’t discuss your case with others.

Compensation Available in Pennsylvania 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 lost during recovery, plus compensation for diminished future earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous work or reduce your ability to earn.
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.

What your case is worth 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 the evidence establishing liability, and the insurance coverage available.

Committed to Maximum Recovery

You deserve compensation that reflects the actual impact of your injuries, not whatever the insurance company decides to offer. At ACA Law, we fight for maximum recovery in every case we handle.

If you’ve been injured because of someone else’s negligence, don’t face this alone. We can review your situation, answer your questions, and advise you on how to protect your rights at no cost and with no obligation.

Do You Have a Valid Personal Injury Claim?

Many people who call our office aren’t sure whether their situation qualifies as a personal injury case. Understanding the basic legal framework can help you decide whether it’s worth making that call.

The Four Elements of Negligence

A valid personal injury claim in Pennsylvania generally requires establishing four elements: the defendant owed you a duty of care, the defendant breached that duty, the breach caused your injury, and the injury resulted in measurable damages. Negligence liability is the foundation of most injury claims, covering everything from car accidents to slip and falls to defective products.

How Pennsylvania’s Modified Comparative Negligence Rule Affects Your Case

Pennsylvania follows a modified comparative negligence standard. If you were partially at fault for the accident, you can still recover compensation as long as your share of fault is 50% or less, with your award reduced proportionally by your percentage of fault. If you’re found 51% or more responsible, you can’t recover damages under Pennsylvania law. This rule matters because insurance adjusters frequently try to shift blame onto injured parties precisely to reduce or eliminate what they owe.

What to Expect When You Call

Most personal injury claims resolve through settlement negotiations without ever going to trial. When you contact ACA Law, an attorney can evaluate your potential claim, identify what evidence is needed, and give you an honest assessment of whether the facts support pursuing compensation. That evaluation costs you nothing.
