Delaware County Car Accident Lawyers

Being involved in a car accident in Delaware County, Pennsylvania can upend your life, especially if you sustain severe injuries. Attorney Anthony C. Gagliano, III has seen firsthand how unexpected injuries can impact individuals and their families.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident, you want a dedicated attorney experienced in negotiating and litigating personal injury claims.

How Can an Attorney Help Me With My Car Accident Case?

When you are injured in a car accident, you may have a claim against the negligent driver’s insurance company for compensation for your injuries, property damage, and lost wages.

Insurance companies want to make money rather than spend it, and frequently offer low settlements or deny claims. They are gambling the claimant will not bother refiling or assume the offer is the most they can get and accept. An experienced attorney can help you receive an acceptable offer. Recovering from injuries is stressful enough without the added concerns of mounting medical bills and lost wages.

An attorney can fight for you to recover compensation for:

Medical bills.
Lost wages.
Therapy and rehabilitation costs.
Diminished earning capacity.
In-home health care and equipment costs.
Ongoing care expenses.
Pain and suffering.
Wrongful death

How Much Is a Car Accident Claim Worth?

Every case is different, and there is no universal calculation for every car accident claim. Personal injury settlements are determined through negotiation. Serious injuries can result in tremendous medical costs, loss of income, and life-altering disabilities. Should negotiations fail to produce an agreeable settlement, the case may move to trial.

Determining the appropriate value of a settlement involves many factors. Your attorney may work with your health care providers and qualified experts to determine what compensation you deserve. Compensation that you can recover after being injured in a car accident may include both economic and non-economic damages.

Economic damages are compensation for financial losses, such as:

Medical bills.
Lost wages.
Property damage.

Non-economic damages are classified as non-monetary losses, such as:

Pain and suffering.
Loss of enjoyment of life.

In the case of a fatality, the family may be awarded compensation for loss of consortium, which is loss of the companionship, love, affection, guidance, support, child rearing, and household chores and activities.

Additionally, Pennsylvania allows drivers to choose “no-fault” insurance. This coverage compensates for medical care, lost income, and accident-related expenses up to the policy limits, regardless of who is at-fault for the accident.

Anthony has a gained a reputation for recovering significant compensation for his clients, many of which were awarded $500,000 to over $1 million.

What Should I Do if I Have Been Injured in a Car Accident in Delaware County?

If you have sustained moderate to severe injuries, you should first call for emergency services or ask someone else to on your behalf. If you are not seriously injured, your actions at the time of a car accident can be crucial to your future personal injury claim. Some steps you should take include:

Report: Call the police to report the accident, even if there is minor damage and no apparent injuries. In certain circumstances, not alerting the police can be considered unlawful. Reporting the accident will generate a police report that will be valuable to your claim.
Document: Take photos of the scene, including the damage to both vehicles, injuries sustained, road and weather conditions, signage, obstructions, and anything else that may have contributed to the accident.
Gather witness statements: Get contact information from all witnesses along with statements of what they witnessed. Ask them to share any photos or videos of the accident they may have taken.
Seek medical attention: Always seek medical evaluation, even if you believe you are uninjured. Many serious injuries do not present symptoms for hours or days but can be life-threatening if left untreated.

In Pennsylvania, you have two years from the date of the car accident to file a claim for damages, with very limited exceptions. Therefore, it is critical to consult a lawyer as soon as possible.
