Auto Accidents
Motor vehicle accidents injure, disfigure and kill millions of Americans every year. Determining the financial impact of an auto accident is essential for injury victims to provide for their future medical needs and be compensated for lost earnings.
At the Law Offices of Black & Older, our attorneys construct a detailed inventory or our client’s financial needs. By working with health care planners and economic impact analysts, our personal injury lawyers account for prescription drug costs, medical equipment, in-home nursing assistance, and lost wages. Our comprehensive knowledge of how insurance companies prepare for litigation and how they estimate claim settlements enables us to meet their tactics head-on with powerful, expert testimony and persuasive medical evidence.
Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Accidents
The personal injury law firm of Black & Older represents injury victims in the following areas:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle crashes
- Pedestrian / Bicycle knockdowns
- Subway / Elevated train accidents
- SEPTA claims
- Bus accidents
- Taxi cab accidents
- Uber / Lyft accidents
- Commuter train accidents
- Public transportation injuries
In cases where a city bus, subway car, taxi, Uber, Lyft or Amtrak train are involved, you only have a limited time to make formal notification of your claim and bring a lawsuit against the agency at fault. Additionally, many public transportation entities have their own investigative departments, which means that it is essential that you have someone fighting on your side, ready to defend your rights.
Investigating Accidents, Establishing the Facts
Evidence and eye-witnesses can quickly disappear after an accident. That’s why we immediately travel to an accident site to gather as much information and evidence as possible. By studying evidence from the scene, our accident reconstruction professionals, skid mark analysts, and black box experts can often determine how an accident occurred, how fast a vehicle was traveling, and who was responsible. Notifying our office as soon as possible ensures that we quickly get the right investigative and forensic resources on the scene to preserve information vital to your case.
Making a Difference – Today and Tomorrow
Whether you’ve been injured in a serious car accident, are facing divorce, or are interested in starting a business, it’s important to understand the financial consequences and issues involved. We provide thorough, comprehensive evaluations of each client’s situation in order to provide them with the most information possible for making an informed decision. Realizing that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, we proactively alert clients to potential problems and issues that could affect their cases. In an effort to prevent problems from arising, we create legal strategies intended to address potential problems so that your interests are always protected.
