Protect Your Rights With A Trusted Personal Injury Lawyer In Western Pennsylvania
If you are injured through no fault of your own, you need a personal injury attorney who can prove that. At Robert S. Andrews, Jr. Attorney at Law, I serve clients in Cranberry Township and throughout Butler, Allegheny and Beaver counties with personalized representation and nearly 35 years of experience.
My approach is simple: I’ll gather evidence and build a case that helps you get every dollar of compensation you deserve. Unfortunately, insurance companies don’t always make it easy. When they refuse fair settlements, my trial experience can help protect your interests.
Types Of Personal Injury Cases I Provide Representation For
Throughout my career, I’ve handled a wide range of personal injury matters for clients throughout the state, including:
- Car, truck and motorcycle accident claims: From car accidents on local roads to highway crashes involving 18-wheelers
- Slip-and-fall accidents: Incidents on unsafe premises like wet floors, icy walkways or cracked pavement
- Medical malpractice claims: Negligent care from health care providers
- Catastrophic injuries: Cases involving traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage and severe burns
- Wrongful death cases: Legal action after losing a loved one to another’s negligence
- Dog bite injuries: Attacks covered under Pennsylvania’s strict liability laws
Starting a personal injury claim may seem straightforward. However, the difficulty lies in dealing with insurance adjusters who often minimize your injuries while you’re still recovering.
The Robert S. Andrews, Jr. Attorney at Law Approach
As a personal injury attorney, I understand that while you’re managing physical pain and recovery, you shouldn’t also bear the stress of dealing with insurers and the claims process. My personal injury practice puts your needs first. Should you speak with insurance representatives without legal counsel? What medical documentation will strengthen your claim? When you choose my firm, I’ll guide you through every stage and make sure you don’t make mistakes that cost you thousands in deserved compensation.
FAQs: Understanding Your Personal Injury Claim
Knowing your rights is important. Below, you’ll find helpful answers to frequently asked personal injury questions.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim under Pennsylvania law?
You have a two-year window from your injury date for a personal injury lawsuit. This statute of limitations is strict; missing it means losing your right to compensation. Consult a personal injury attorney immediately to protect your rights.
What types of compensation might I be entitled to after suffering an injury?
Your compensation may include economic damages like:
- Medical expenses (current and future medical costs)
- Lost wages
- Property damage
- Lifelong care (for catastrophic injury claims)
You may also recover non-economic damages for:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of life’s enjoyment
Pennsylvania injury laws on comparative negligence may affect your recovery if you share some responsibility for the accident. Even with shared liability, my goal is to maximize your financial recovery.
Do I need to go to court for my personal injury claim, or can it be settled?
Most claims settle outside court with insurance companies, often saving time and stress. However, if the offered settlement isn’t fair, taking your case to the Butler, Allegheny, or Beaver County courthouses is an option I am ready to pursue.
