Historic Chester, PA is a beautiful part of the state and is the oldest city in Pennsylvania. Over the years Chester has gone through many economic and cultural changes. Today it thrives. It’s home to Harrah’s Casino and Racetrack, Subaru Park, home of the Major League Soccer Philadelphia Union franchise, and National Register of Historic Places sites including Delaware County National Bank, 1724 Chester Courthouse, Chester Waterside Station of the Philadelphia Electric Company, Old Main and Chemistry Building, Third Presbyterian Church, William Penn Landing Site, and the former Second Street Bridge.
As Chester continues to grow, more and more residents are becoming accident victims suffering personal injury from car accidents, medical malpractice, pedestrian accidents, and other negligent acts. This requires medical treatment, legal resources, and the need to deal with insurance companies. Injury claims are emotional and traumatic and only a PA personal injury lawyer can help you seek compensation, deal with the insurance companies, and ultimately collect money for you in a personal injury settlement or through a jury verdict.
After a motor vehicle accident, slip and fall, medical error, or another mistake you may look for a personal injury attorney to help you recover compensation for your physical injuries, medical bills, lost wages, emotional distress, and other damages.
