It's not your fault you are injured, and we want to make sure those at fault are held responsible.

Personal injury can refer to any physical or emotional harm that is caused to an individual as a result of the negligence or wrongful conduct of another person or entity. Examples of personal injury cases include car accidents, slip and fall accidents, medical malpractice, product liability, and workplace accidents and many other situations involving injury arising out of someone else's actions (or inaction).
A KaplunMarx personal injury attorney can provide you with the guidance and support you need to navigate the complex legal process and ensure that your rights are protected. They can also help you to obtain the compensation for any damages you have suffered, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Some of the most common types of personal injury cases that we represent are:

- Bicycle accidents: Cyclists are often vulnerable to serious injuries when they are hit by a car, truck, or other vehicle.

- Nursing home abuse: Nursing home residents are entitled to a certain standard of care. When they are abused or neglected, it can result in serious injuries.

Overview of the Personal Injury Process
Initial Consultation
When you meet with your personal injury attorney for the first time, they will discuss the details of your case with you and answer any questions or concerns you may have. During the consultation, you will typically discuss the following:
- The circumstances surrounding your injury
- Who was involved in the incident
- Who may be liable for your injuries
- The nature and extent of your injuries
- Your current and future medical needs
Your attorney will provide you with an assessment of your case and advise you on the best course of action to take.
Investigation
Your personal injury lawyer will conduct a thorough investigation into the facts and circumstances of your case. This may include:
- Visiting the scene of the accident to gather evidence
- Obtaining incident reports
- Identifying all parties responsible for your injuries
- Collecting medical bills and records related to your treatment
Treatment
While your attorney is investigating your case, it is important that you focus on your recovery. Follow your doctor's orders and keep a journal of your medical treatment and expenses. We can help facilitate your treatment with our trusted partner providers here in Philadelphia.
Demand Package
Once your attorney has gathered all necessary information, they will prepare a demand package that outlines your case and the compensation you are seeking. This may include:
- Police or incident reports
- Photos of property damage and injuries
- Medical bills and records
- Receipts for expenses
- Documentation of lost wages
Negotiations
The insurance company for the at-fault party will review the demand package and respond with a settlement offer. Your attorney will discuss the offer with you and provide advice on how to proceed.
Settlement
If a settlement can be reached, your attorney will prepare a settlement agreement outlining the terms of the settlement.
Litigation
If negotiations are unsuccessful, your attorney may file a lawsuit and present your case to a jury to obtain a verdict against those responsible for your injuries.
Personal Injury Litigation
At KaplunMarx, we will not hesitate to take a case to litigation if the circumstances dictate.
Filing a lawsuit
The first step in personal injury litigation is to file a lawsuit with the appropriate court. The lawsuit will identify the parties involved and the nature of the claim, and will request a specific amount of damages.
Discovery phase
Once the lawsuit is filed, both parties engage in the discovery phase. During this phase, each party has the opportunity to gather evidence and information related to the case. This may involve depositions, requests for documents, and other forms of information gathering.
Pre-trial motions
Before the trial begins, either party may file pre-trial motions to address various issues related to the case. These motions may involve requests for summary judgment, dismissal of the case, or other procedural issues.
Trial
If the case proceeds to trial, both parties will present evidence and arguments to a judge or jury. Witnesses may be called to testify, and experts may be brought in to provide testimony on technical or scientific issues.
Verdict
At the end of the trial, the judge or jury will issue a verdict, which may include a monetary award to the plaintiff. The verdict may also include a determination of fault and a finding of liability for the defendant.
Appeals
If either party is dissatisfied with the verdict, they may file an appeal. The appeals process can be lengthy, and it involves a review of the trial proceedings by a higher court.
Showing Negligence or Fault
In motor vehicle accidents, a police report establishes who was "at fault". But some other case types require more extensive development to establish a claim.
To prove negligence, there are four essential elements that must be present: duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages.
- Duty of Care: The duty of care refers to the legal obligation that a person or entity has to exercise a reasonable standard of care to prevent harm to others. For example, drivers have a duty of care to obey traffic laws and drive safely to avoid causing harm to other drivers, passengers, and pedestrians.
- Breach of Duty: If a person or entity fails to uphold their duty of care, it is considered a breach of duty. In a personal injury case, the plaintiff must demonstrate that the defendant breached their duty of care, which led to the plaintiff's injuries. For example, if a driver runs a red light and hits a pedestrian, the driver has breached their duty of care to obey traffic laws and drive safely.
- Causation: Causation refers to the link between the defendant's breach of duty and the plaintiff's injuries. In other words, the plaintiff must show that their injuries were caused by the defendant's breach of duty. For example, if a driver's breach of duty caused a car accident that led to the plaintiff's injuries, the plaintiff must establish the link between the driver's breach of duty and their injuries.
- Damages: The final element of a personal injury case is damages, which refers to the harm or losses that the plaintiff has suffered as a result of their injuries. This can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other economic and non-economic damages.
