Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Car Accidents
With the average Langhorne commute at about 26 minutes and employers bringing workers back into the office post-pandemic, car accidents will happen. If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident during your commute, while running errands, or after heading out to eat, contact one of our Langhorne personal injury lawyers to discuss how you might seek legal recourse. Our experienced lawyers can help with:
- Langhorne Car Accidents

Slip-and-Fall Accidents
Regrettably, you may be injured after slipping and falling while grocery shopping at Giant Foods or at a local hardware store or restaurant. Commercial and private property owners in Pennsylvania have a duty to keep their premises safe and free of hazards.
If you suffered an injury from tripping, slipping, or being struck by an object while at a retail or grocery store, a restaurant, or another commercial location, you may be eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit under premises liability laws.
Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
Many Langhorne seniors live in one of 37 local assisted living facilities near Langhorne. Elder abuse spans physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, exploitation, abandonment, and neglect. Lamentably, staff members at nursing homes, assisted living locations, and other care facilities are frequently the abusers. Neglect at nursing homes can result in malnutrition, infections from unsanitary conditions, worsening medical conditions, and loss of self-respect.
Medical Malpractice
Workplace Injuries
In our small town of about 1,700 people, educational services, health-care, social assistance, and construction are the largest industries. Sadly, injuries happen in all kinds of workplaces or when employees are working offsite.
If you suffered an injury while working, you are likely eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. Pennsylvania law requires a broad spectrum of businesses to carry workers’ compensation insurance providing employees with benefits after a workplace injury.
Wrongful Death
When a loved one passes away due to a medical provider’s carelessness, a freak accident, or someone acting unreasonably, Pennsylvania law gives the family members the right to bring a wrongful death lawsuit against the responsible parties. You shouldn’t have to suffer the emotional and financial toll of a wrongful death without the wrongdoer being held accountable.

What Our Langhorne Personal Injury Attorneys Can Do For Your
Evaluate Your Case
Obtain All Pertinent Reports and Information
Motor-vehicle crashes on Pennsylvania roads and highways are investigated and reported by both the Pennsylvania State Police and local municipal police departments such as the Langhorne Police Department. Pennsylvania law requires the driver involved in an accident to file a report with the police department within five days of the accident. If an officer was called to the scene, they will file the accident report.
A personal injury lawyer will obtain the accident report from the Langhorne Police Department as well as any state police investigation information that contains key facts for your case.
Your lawyer will also identify and interview any witnesses to the accident, abuse, or situation in which you suffered injuries. Collecting information and facts will strengthen your case and aid negotiations for insurance payouts or settlements as well as establish witnesses for depositions or trial testimony.
Langhorne personal injury lawyers will also obtain the medical records that document your diagnoses, medical conditions, and injuries. These records are critical for many aspects of a case, including establishing that a party caused your injuries and owed a duty.
We also track your medical bills to calculate expenses and future medical costs along with current and future wage estimates to compensate for economic losses due to your injury.

Negotiate on Your Behalf
File Court Documents and Manage the Legal Process
A personal injury lawyer will file legal documents with the court that meet specific filing deadlines. All courts publish their own rules on deadlines and other filing requirements. You want a lawyer with knowledge of local and state courts so no missed deadlines could jeopardize your lawsuit’s success.
Our lawyers also schedule the court-required conferences and depositions as well as manage question-and-answer requests between the parties.
Take Care of You
One of the most important things a personal injury lawyer does is support their client through what can be a chaotic and unsettling journey. Reliving the details of an injury can be traumatic, and giving testimony or deposition can be nerve-racking.
Our Langhorne lawyers take the time to talk with clients during all phases of a lawsuit, answering questions and giving advice on how to handle deposition questions or take the witness stand. We support clients with compassion during the difficult time of healing from injuries and dealing with emotional and psychological impacts. We go beyond legal advice because we care about our clients and attend to them like they are family.
Personal Injury Statute of Limitations
Due to filing deadlines for lawsuits, considering whether to file a personal injury lawsuit is somewhat urgent. If you miss the legal cutoff, you could be barred from suing those responsible.
In Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations to file a lawsuit is two years when seeking damages for:
- Personal injuries or the death of an individual caused by the wrongful act, unlawful violence, or negligence of another
- Injury to a person or property which is founded on negligent, intentional, or otherwise tortious conduct
- Injury or death of a person caused by exposure to asbestos
In Pennsylvania, the date an injury was discovered or should have been recognized starts the two-year statute of limitation countdown. Medical malpractice lawsuits fall under this two-year rule. However, some nuances can establish an alternate trigger for the start of that two-year period. An experienced Langhorne personal injury lawyer can help you determine that date for your case.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Compensation Can I Receive?
When you file a personal injury lawsuit in Pennsylvania, you can seek compensation for the injuries and losses you suffered. Valid grounds for compensation may include:
- Medical expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Declined quality of life
- Missed work and lost wages
- Short-term or long-term disability
- Physical and emotional pain and suffering
- Punitive damages
- Wrongful death
Who Might Be Held Liable?
In personal injury cases, a lawyer must prove that a person or organization owed you a duty and breached that duty, causing your injuries. This means that those with a duty to you may be liable in a personal injury case.
- In a car accident, the driver that hit you may be liable, as they had a duty to take reasonable precautions.
- With a medical malpractice case, the doctor, their partnership, and the hospital could all be liable for injuries you suffered while in their care.
- Commercial establishments have duties to keep the premises safe and clear of hazards to avoid slip-and-fall accidents.
- Employers must provide safe working conditions for employees.
- Nursing home employees may be liable in a lawsuit if they owed a duty of care.
How Much Is My Case Worth?
Clients often want to know how they may be awarded in a personal injury lawsuit. The answer is: it depends. Compensation derives from how much was spent on medical bills, rehabilitation, physical therapy, and the like. Loss of wages due to an inability to work during recovery or in the long term can also contribute to your claim. Less tangible awards for emotional pain and suffering depend on the circumstances of the case and what you endured due to your injuries. And insurance coverage caps can play a role in how much you secure.
When Should I Contact a Lawyer?
It is a good idea to contact a lawyer as soon as possible after you suffer an injury. Evidence can expire or be removed from the scene. Witness accounts may become foggy. And the state of your medical condition may change or be insufficiently documented.
How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?
Our Langhorne personal injury lawyers work on a contingency basis. This means our lawyers get paid a percentage of what the defendant or insurance company ultimately pays our clients. If we don’t win your case, you won’t be charged.
