To understand if you have a good personal injury case in Pennsylvania, there are 3 basic questions to ask.
There has to be some physical, emotional or financial harm suffered. If you have not been injured, it is highly unlikely that you will be compensated for anything.
The definition of injured depends upon numerous factors and can include economic damages (such as medical bills and lost wages), or can include physical and emotional harm, (such as disfigurement or post-traumatic stress disorder).
Sometimes it is obvious when someone is seriously injured. Other times, it can be a grey area. To better understand if you are entitled to compensation for an accident or injury in Pennsylvania, please read: How Much Is My Case Worth?
Second, if you were injured, you need to prove someone else was responsible and you need to act quickly. In civil cases, the question is always whether another party negligently caused your injuries?
The negligence standard is often defined as “below the acceptable level of care” for the situation. We all have a duty to be careful around other people. If we are careless, and it causes someone else harm, then we are legally responsible for all of the harm suffered.
If you believe it was a someone’s else responsibility, then you need to act quickly regardless of the circumstances. As time fades, witness memories fade, and vital evidence can be lost forever.
If you have been injured, and you believe someone else was responsible, then the third question is always, how will you get paid?
Injured victims primarily receive compensation from the insurance companies. Hopefully, the defendant will have adequate insurance coverage. This may be a auto insurance policy or a home-owners’s insurance policy or both.
Many serious injury cases require attorneys who are experienced in finding additional insurance coverage. Whether that is an additional umbrella policy or adding additional defendants, you need attorneys skilled at finding funds to compensate you.

I am an out of State client, over 1500 miles away, and through the 2 years of work on my case I never met anyone from the firm in person, yet they treated me like I lived down the street from the office.
I am very pleased with the professional teamwork, and their patience and timely responses to my requests and to the task at hand. They did all they could do to help with the difficult facts of my case, and I am pleased with the outcome. I would recommend this law firm to anyone with the assurance they would offer the same quality service to them as they did to me. Thank you Flaherty Fardo, Carole J. Boyd
Couldn't have asked for a better experience. They are a wonderful group who are efficient, patient, communicative and do their job very well.
They kept me in the loop the whole time and were extremely helpful. I have used a different firm in the past and this was like night and day. If you are considering using Flaherty Fardo for your assessment appeal (or likely anything else they practice) then you found what you are looking for. A special thank you to Nicole who spearheaded my case and answered my never-ending questions. Top notch!
"Highly Recommended" just isn't enough praise. They are by far the best I have ever worked with.
Professional, but beyond that their personal touch is exactly what a medical malpractice client or personal injury client needs. Noah Fardo is amazing, but the entire firm were great to us. I honestly can't thank Bill Rogel, Nicole Hauptman Amick, and Jaclyn Gibson enough. Thank you all.
