Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Bensalem, PA
Our team tackles a wide array of personal injury cases across Bensalem, PA, from high‑speed wrecks on I‑95 to slip‑and‑fall incidents inside Neshaminy Mall. Using cutting‑edge investigative tools and deep knowledge of Pennsylvania law, we build solid cases covering medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
Car Accidents
Traffic backups on I‑95, US‑1, and the PA Turnpike create daily risks for commuters. Whether you were T‑boned at the Street Road interchange or sideswiped near the Parx Casino entrance, our Bensalem car accident lawyers gather dash‑cam footage, electronic‑control‑module data, and witness statements to prove fault and maximize recovery. If a loved one was killed in an auto accident, we file a wrongful death lawsuit seeking both economic and non‑economic damages.
Truck Accidents
Fully loaded semis hauling along the Turnpike and the Cottman Avenue ramps can weigh 20–40 times more than your car. Our truck accident lawyers in Bensalem subpoena driver logs, GPS breadcrumbs, and maintenance records expose safety violations and reach every layer of insurance coverage.
Motorcycle & Bicycle Crashes
Riders clipped along Old Lincoln Highway or doored on Hulmeville Road face bias from insurers. Our Bensalem motorcycle accident attorneys use helmet‑cam video and 3D mapping to show juries what really happened.
Premises Liability & Slip and Fall Injuries
Slippery lobby marble at Parx Casino, icy storefront walks at Neshaminy Plaza, and poorly lit parking lots put shoppers at risk. Property owners who ignore hazards can be held responsible for your injuries and medical bills.
Construction Site Accidents
From Route 1 widening to new warehouse builds along State Road, active job sites hide trip hazards and crane dangers. Our Bensalem construction accident lawyers pursue negligent subcontractors so you get more than workers' comp benefits.
Defective Products & Dog Bites
Exploding e‑bike batteries on the Delaware River Trail or an aggressive dog at a Bensalem dog park can inflict severe trauma. Manufacturers and owners must answer for the harm.
Medical Malpractice
Jefferson Torresdale and St. Mary Medical Center must provide competent care. When misdiagnosis, surgical error, or a medication mix‑up causes harm, our Bensalem personal injury lawyers bring medical malpractice cases so injured clients recover compensation for added treatment and other losses.
Damages Available in a Pennsylvania Personal Injury Claim
Pennsylvania lets injury victims claim economic damages such as medical bills, rehab, lost wages, household help and non‑economic damages like pain and suffering, scarring, and loss of life’s joys. Our practice is to document other damages, project future care, and pursue the maximum amount permitted by insurance limits and the law. Your compensation depends on injury severity, recovery time, and available insurance coverage.
Key Personal Injury Laws
Statute of Limitations: Most personal injury and wrongful death actions must be filed within two years of the incident or date of death. 42 Pa. C.S. § 5524.
Modified Comparative Negligence: You may recover damages if you are 50% or less at fault; courts reduce awards by your share of fault. If you are 51 % or more at fault, you recover nothing. 42 Pa. C.S. § 7102.
Limited vs. Full Tort Auto Insurance: Choosing limited tort on your auto policy usually blocks non‑economic damages, but exceptions apply, such as serious injury, drunk drivers, out‑of‑state vehicles, or commercial vehicles. 75 Pa. C.S. § 1705.
Mandatory Medical Benefits (PIP): Every Pennsylvania auto policy must include at least $5,000 in first‑party medical benefits, payable regardless of fault. 75 Pa. C.S. § 1711.
Joint & Several Liability (60% Rule): Defendants less than 60% at fault are liable only for their proportionate share unless the claim involves intentional harm or hazardous substances. 42 Pa. C.S. § 7102(a.1).
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do most personal injury lawyers charge?
Most firms, including ours, work on a contingency basis, meaning we advance costs and only collect a percentage, plus reimbursement of advanced costs, if we recover compensation on your behalf.
What evidence do I need for a car accident claim?
Police crash reports, photos, dash‑cam footage, medical records, pay stubs for lost income, and repair estimates strengthen your claim.
Is getting a lawyer after an accident worth it?
Yes. Studies show that represented accident victims receive significantly higher settlements than those who negotiate alone.
How long do car accident settlements take?
Each accident claim is different. Straightforward cases may resolve relatively quickly, while complex disputes can take considerably longer, especially if they proceed to trial. Our firm works diligently to ensure that your claim is moved forward as needed, while also considering the recovery of your injuries.
