Practice Areas We Handle

Explore the focus areas below to learn how our attorneys gather evidence, prove liability, and seek compensation for the full financial and emotional impact of your injuries.
Car Accidents
Rear‑end collisions on Route 313 and multi‑vehicle pile‑ups on the 202 Bypass are common in Doylestown. Our car accident lawyers gather police reports, black box data, and witness statements to prove someone else's negligence and pursue damages for repairs, treatment, and future care.
Motorcycle Accidents
Riders thrown from a bike on Swamp Road face bias from insurers. A seasoned Doylestown motorcycle accident lawyer preserves helmet‑cam evidence and consults specialists to show the at‑fault party’s liability.
Wrongful Death
A tragic loss after a fatal crash or medical error can devastate families. Our Doylestown wrongful death attorneys file claims on behalf of a decedent’s estate to recover funeral costs, non-economic damages, and the earnings a loved one would have provided.
Slips, Trips & Falls
Uneven sidewalks near the courthouse green and icy restaurant steps lead to fractures and head trauma. We hold the property owner accountable when unsafe conditions cause serious accidents.
Construction Site Injuries
Downtown building renovations create scaffold and electrical hazards. We pursue third‑party claims for clients severely injured on job sites so they can seek compensation beyond workers’ compensation benefits.
Key Pennsylvania Injury Laws
Pennsylvania statutes dictate when, how, and from whom accident victims may seek compensation. The provisions below frequently shape personal injury lawsuits and wrongful death claims:
Two‑year statute of limitations: Most injury and wrongful‑death actions must be filed within two years of the incident. 42 Pa. C.S. § 5524.
Modified comparative negligence: Damages are reduced by your percentage of fault and barred at 51% or more. 42 Pa. C.S. § 7102.
Limited vs. full tort auto insurance: “Limited tort” may restrict personal injury plaintiffs from claiming pain and suffering unless an exception applies. 75 Pa. C.S. § 1705.
Understanding and leveraging these rules allows our legal team to build stronger claims and protect your right to compensation.
Damages We Pursue
Our legal team documents medical expenses, lost wages, and property losses, then adds intangible losses like pain, suffering, and emotional distress to demand the maximum amount available under Pennsylvania personal injury law.

Success depends on clear evidence of negligence and well‑documented damages; our attorneys build strong records to improve the odds.
What is the average wrongful death settlement in PA?
Amounts vary widely with the facts, insurance, and the decedent’s earnings; every claim is unique.
What evidence should be admitted in a wrongful death suit?
Crash reports, medical records, expert testimony on economic loss, and proof of familial relationships all play a role.
