Experienced Personal Injury Lawyer for Clients in Norristown, PA

Accidents resulting in injury happen every day. If you have been hurt in a preventable accident, you might be overwhelmed with medical expenses, potential property damage, and time away from work—to say nothing of the pain and suffering you may be living with. To get paid for your damages under Pennsylvania law, you need to identify the party at fault and build a claim against them.

At Neuwirth Law Office, LLC, our Norristown personal injury attorney is here to help you seek real compensation, whether your injuries were the result of a car accident, a faulty product, an accident on somebody else's property, or another negligent incident. Attorney Andrew Neuwirth provides clients with down-to-earth legal advice and personal attention, so you can take comfort knowing that he will keep you informed of your options throughout your case.

Comparative Negligence in Pennsylvania Injury Claims

Pennsylvania follows what is known as a modified comparative negligence rule, which affects how much you can recover if you shared any responsibility for causing your accident. Under this rule, you can still pursue compensation as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50 percent of the total blame. If a court or insurance company finds you more than 50 percent responsible, you will be barred from recovering payment outright, regardless of how serious your injuries turned out to be.

When you are found partially at fault for an accident, any compensation you receive is reduced proportionally by your percentage of responsibility. Insurance companies take advantage of this rule by trying to pass blame onto the injured person to reduce what they have to pay. Having a clear, well-documented account of how the accident happened can make a meaningful difference for your claim.

How Much Is a Norristown Personal Injury Claim Worth?

There is no fixed formula for calculating the value of a personal injury claim. Medical expenses typically make up a large portion of a claim's value, including the initial emergency treatment and any ongoing care your recovery requires. The monetary costs of your claim are called "economic damages," and in addition to medical expenses, you can also be paid for lost income and property damage.

Beyond these financial losses, a claim also accounts for the physical pain, emotional distress, and lifestyle disruptions caused by the injury. It is important to understand that once you accept a settlement, the claim is generally considered resolved. You cannot return later to seek additional compensation, even if your condition worsens over time. For this reason, obtaining a complete and accurate assessment of your damages before accepting any offer is essential. Our firm has trial experience, and we are ready to go to court on your behalf if the insurance company will not put a fair offer forward.
