Personal Injury
Did you know that if someone’s actions or inactions cause you to be seriously injured, you can file a personal injury claim and seek compensation?
This is true whether you were in an accident, a doctor acted negligently, or you were injured by a defective product. The attorneys at J.P. Ward & Associates help injury victims in these areas and more.
What Does a Pittsburgh Personal Injury Attorney Do?
In the aftermath of an accident or injury, a personal injury attorney becomes your legal advocate to pursue financial compensation for you and your loved ones.
Because Pennsylvania is a fault-based state with a comparative negligence rule, someone found responsible for your injuries will be liable to pay you monetary damages, including compensation for lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering (when applicable), depending on their proportion of fault.
In a nutshell, a personal injury attorney in Pittsburgh will help you with the following:
- Investigate your claim and plan a path moving forward
- Gather evidence to help establish or confirm fault
- Negotiate with insurance companies for a maximum settlement
- Send demand letters to seek compensation
- Prepare for court and represent you at trial if the insurance company refuses to settle fairly
Common Types of Personal Injury Claims
When people hear “personal injury,” they often think of car accidents and slip and fall cases. The scope of personal injury, however, is much broader. It can encompass any action that causes someone to be injured, whether it’s due to their careless, negligent, or wrongful act, or an omission to act when they had a legal duty.
At J.P. Ward & Associates, we have a successful track record in the following types of personal injury claims:
- Car, motorcycle, and trucking accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Medical malpractices
- Premises liability cases (including slip and fall injuries)
- Defective products
- Workers’ compensation
Debt Defense
In addition to figting for the rights of Pennsylvanians after an injury, our attorneys also help people who are being sued by debt collectors.
Benefits of Hiring a Debt Defense Attorney
We all know that debt collectors can be tenacious, but did you also know that 90% of the time, a debt collector will lose their case in court? This is because debt collectors have the burden of producing a vast amount of evidence to win their case, and most don’t have the documentation to win in a courtroom appearance.
Pennsylvanians choose our debt defense attorneys for the following benefits:
- You can avoid appearing in court
- Attorneys can have the legal knowledge to fight debt collectors on an even playing field
- There is a high chance of winning when the debt collector fails to produce evidence
- You can potentially put a lot of money back in your pocket
- You get peace of mind knowing that you have an experienced attorney on your side
