What Should You Do After a Serious Injury?
Your health comes first. Seek appropriate medical care and follow your providers’ recommendations. When possible, also preserve information that may later help explain what happened and how the injury affected you.
- Photograph the accident scene and any dangerous conditions.
- Keep photographs documenting your injuries and recovery.
- Obtain contact information from witnesses.
- Save police reports, incident reports, medical records, and bills.
- Keep correspondence from insurance companies.
- Document missed work and other financial losses.
- Avoid signing a settlement or release before understanding how it may affect your rights.
The evidence that matters depends on the type of case. A truck crash may involve electronic vehicle records, while a premises case may depend on surveillance footage or maintenance records. Medical malpractice cases can require extensive medical documentation and expert review.
What Compensation May Be Available After an Injury?
There is no standard value for a personal injury claim. The compensation that may be available depends on how the injury occurred, its severity, applicable insurance coverage, and how the injury affects the person’s life.
- Medical expenses and future treatment
- Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
- Rehabilitation and therapy
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability
- Scarring or disfigurement
- Loss of quality of life
- Other losses resulting from the injury
Why Choose Pisanchyn Law Firm in Scranton?
Pisanchyn Law Firm represents injured people throughout Pennsylvania, with its Scranton office located at 524 Spruce Street in downtown Scranton.
We believe an injury case should be built around the individual client rather than treated as another insurance claim number. That means understanding how the accident occurred, how the injury has affected the client’s life, what treatment may be necessary in the future, and what evidence is available to establish responsibility.
Our attorneys handle cases ranging from motor vehicle accidents and workplace injuries to medical malpractice, catastrophic injuries, and wrongful death. Learn more about Michael Pisanchyn and the firm’s Pennsylvania personal injury attorneys.
Scranton Personal Injury FAQs
How do I know if I have a personal injury case?
Whether you have a claim depends on how the injury occurred and whether another person or organization may be legally responsible. An attorney can review the circumstances, evidence, insurance coverage, and your injuries.
How much does it cost to speak with a Scranton personal injury lawyer?
Pisanchyn Law Firm offers free consultations for personal injury matters. Cases accepted on a contingency-fee basis do not require an attorney fee unless compensation is recovered for the client.
Should I speak with the insurance company after an accident?
You may need to notify an insurer that an accident occurred, but be cautious about detailed or recorded statements concerning fault, injuries, or recovery.
What if I was partially responsible for the accident?
Partial responsibility does not automatically prevent a claim. Pennsylvania law addresses situations in which more than one party may share responsibility.
How long does a personal injury case take?
The timeline depends on the injuries, medical treatment, disputed responsibility, number of parties, insurance coverage, and whether litigation becomes necessary.
