Have You or a Loved One Suffered a Catastrophic Injury?

Personal injury cases are any case in which a person sustains injury due to another person’s negligent actions. Typically, the person who suffers the injury is the one who files the claim. Personal injury claims do not only refer to physical injuries but also mental or emotional injuries.

Personal injury cases are any case in which a person sustains physical, mental, or emotional injury due to another person’s negligent actions. Personal injury cases can be due to a litany of causes including:

Premises liability

Cases in which property owners fail to keep their property safe for the people accessing it or fail to provide a warning when properties are dangerous.

Product liability

Cases in which a defective product causes harm or injury

Medical malpractice

Medical malpractice is any time a medical professional’s negligence causes harm to another person.

Automobile accidents

When there is an injury caused by a negligent or inattentive operator of a vehicle

Liquor liability

When a tavern or bar serves a visibly intoxicated person who then injures another person due to their intoxication.

Workplace injuries

Due to an unsafe work environment an individual is injured.

These are not the only examples of types of personal injury cases, but they are among the most common.

Personal injury claims are often the only mechanism for an injured party to be properly compensated for the damages that they sustain due to the negligence of others. The recoverable damages for personal injury claims vary depending on the type and extent of injuries. They typically cover pain, suffering, disfigurement, embarrassment, humiliation, loss of life’s pleasures, lost wages, medical bills, as well as emotional and physical trauma. If you have experienced any of these injuries or damages caused by someone else, it is vital to seek legal help right away. In many cases, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim only extends for two years after the incident that caused the injury.

When you have suffered injuries or damages as a result of the negligence or malpractice of another person, company or party, you should contact VSCP Law as soon as possible so our personal injury law firm can investigate a case on your behalf and protect your rights.

As soon as possible after your injury or accident. If you became aware of your injury after the accident, consult a VSCP Law attorney as soon as you become aware of the damages, as a statute of limitations may apply which could cause your claim to be time-barred.

We believe that everyone deserves access to qualified legal representation in matters of personal injury. At VSCP Law, we are paid on a contingent fee basis which means we do not receive a fee and clients owe us nothing unless compensation for our client has been secured. It is our belief that a lack of access to financial resources should never deter an injured individual from considering legal action.

Personal injury cases generally have a two-year statute of limitations in Pennsylvania. However, the Discovery rule allows for the two-year countdown to begin when the plaintiff discovers an injury for which another party is at fault, or at a time when the plaintiff should have, within reason, known of the injury. If a child under the age of 18 is injured, the two-year limit doesn’t apply until their 18th birthday. Please note, however, that each case is unique and VSCP Law cannot determine how long you may have to file a claim until we speak with you and assess your individual claim. For this reason, you should contact an attorney at VSCP Law immediately to determine how long you have to file your individual claim.

In Pennsylvania, the Estate of a deceased person only has two years after the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Cases filed after this two year time limit will be time-barred and dismissed from Court. For this reason, it is important that you speak to a VSCP Law attorney immediately after the death of a loved one or family member. We are here to help.

When a loved one dies as the result of the negligence of another party, a family member can be appointed by the Court to pursue a case on behalf of the person who has died. The lawsuit would seek damages for the wrongful death of your family member. The attorneys at VSCP Law have represented numerous families who have sadly lost a loved one due to another’s careless actions. We can guide your family through this tragic time period.

When a person is injured and retains our firm, we immediately determine the best course of action. We work aggressively to file our clients’ cases without delay and to do everything we can to obtain justice quickly. Unfortunately, a case could take roughly years to be resolved in court depending on the specific circumstances of each case.

The initial decision you make to hire a lawyer will be the most important decision you make for your case. You should only consult an attorney with the necessary experience in litigating catastrophic personal injury cases and a proven record of success. It is crucial to consider whether or not the attorney has successfully recovered compensation on behalf of clients with similar cases. The attorneys at VSCP Law have decades of experience and have successfully represented thousands of clients injured by the negligence of others with an established history of ground-breaking jury verdicts and recoveries.

Our attorneys have a longstanding record of success in the most challenging, complex catastrophic injury cases. Over the course of our careers, we have recovered, as either counsel or co-counsel, well over $1 Billion in settlements for our clients. Every day, we aggressively represent our clients against those who have harmed them and we do not stop until our clients receive justice. Our firm’s motto is “Your Fight is Our Fight” because we fight until our clients receive the justice and compensation they deserve.
