What Philadelphia Clients Say About Us
“After my accident on Roosevelt Boulevard, I was terrified about medical bills piling up. These lawyers not only got me a fair settlement, but they connected me with amazing doctors at Temple University Hospital who took my case on a lien. They treated me like family from day one.”
Keisha S.
North Philadelphia
“The trucking company denied responsibility when their driver rear-ended me on I-76. My lawyer found security camera footage from a nearby business that proved everything. They fought for 18 months and got me $1.8 million when other lawyers said I had no case.”
Derrick P.

“When my daughter was hit by a drunk driver near Temple University, these lawyers handled everything with such compassion. They made sure her medical bills were paid and even helped us file a claim against the bar that over-served the driver. They’re not just lawyers – they’re community protectors.”

Philadelphia Car Accident FAQs
Answers to common questions from Philadelphia accident victims
What should I do after a car accident in Philadelphia?
1. Call 911 if there are injuries
2. Move to safety if possible (especially dangerous on Roosevelt Blvd or I-76)
3. Exchange information with other drivers
4. Take photos of the scene and vehicles
5. Get witness contact information
6. Seek medical attention within 14 days to preserve PIP benefits
7. Contact a Philadelphia attorney before speaking to insurance adjusters
How long do I have to file a claim in Pennsylvania?
The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Philadelphia is generally 2 years from the accident date. However, there are critical deadlines much sooner:
- 5 days to report accident to PennDOT if over $1,000 damage
- 14 days to seek initial medical treatment for PIP coverage
- 30 days to file PIP application with your insurer
Where do I get a copy of my Philadelphia accident report?
Philadelphia crash reports can be obtained:
- Online at CrashDocs.org
- In person at Philadelphia Police Headquarters (750 Race St)
- By mail with notarized request
Reports are typically available 7-10 business days after the crash. There’s a $22 fee for certified copies.
What if the at-fault driver has no insurance?
Philadelphia has a high rate of uninsured drivers (about 15%). Your options depend on your coverage:
- Use your PIP coverage for medical bills
- File under your uninsured motorist coverage (if you have it)
- Pursue the driver personally (difficult without assets)
- Explore other liable parties (employers, bars, vehicle owners)
We can review your policy and all potential recovery options.
How are Philadelphia settlements calculated?
Pennsylvania law allows recovery for:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- In some cases, punitive damages
Philadelphia juries tend to award higher amounts for cases involving:
- Commercial vehicles (trucks, buses)
- Drunk drivers
- Dangerous intersections with known accident history
