Our Lawyers Fight for Maximum Compensation

Our duty is to hold the insurance company responsible for the maximum amount of compensation owed to you.

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

We Work With Doctors to Lower Your Medical Bills

We have a good working relationship with clinics and doctors. The doctors we recommend are not only experienced in treating serious injuries, but many are willing to work with us to negotiate your medical bills down to put more money into your pocket.

We Make it Easier to Find Medical Treatment

Whether you have health insurance or not, our goal is to help you get in quickly with medical care professionals and specialists.

Get Help For Your Personal Injury Case

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.

With the help of a KaplunMarx attorney, you can have the confidence and peace of mind that comes with knowing that your case is being handled by a knowledgeable professional who has your best interests at heart.

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

  • Car, motorcycle, and commercial truck accidents: Accidents involving motor vehicles can be complex legal matters, as they often involve determining fault and negotiating with insurance companies. In these types of cases, a personal injury attorney can help you to gather evidence, assess the damages, and negotiate with the insurance company or even take them to trial if needed.

  • Bicycle accidents: Cyclists are often vulnerable to serious injuries when they are hit by a car, truck, or other vehicle. In these types of cases, it is important to establish liability and demonstrate the full extent of the damages suffered. A personal injury attorney can help you to navigate the legal process and ensure that you receive fair compensation for your injuries.

  • Pedestrian accidents: Pedestrians can suffer serious injuries when they are hit by a car, truck, or other vehicle, especially in areas with heavy traffic. In these types of cases, it is important to establish fault and determine the extent of the damages suffered. A personal injury attorney can help you to build a strong case and negotiate with the insurance company to ensure that you receive fair compensation for your injuries.

  • Slip and fall accidents: Slip and fall accidents can occur on any property and can result in injuries such as broken bones, head injuries, and spinal cord injuries.

  • Medical malpractice: Medical professionals are required to provide a certain standard of care to their patients. When they fail to do so, it can result in serious injury or even death.

  • 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.

  • Wrongful death: When a person dies as a result of the negligence or wrongful conduct of another person or entity, it may be considered a wrongful death case.

  • Product liability: Manufacturers are required to ensure that their products are safe for consumers to use. When they fail to do so, it can result in serious injury.

  • Workplace accidents: Employees who are injured on the job may be entitled to compensation for their injuries, including medical expenses and lost wages.

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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

THE FIRM PHILLY LOVES

After any type of accident, it is important to find a lawyer who will do the work needed to get you a great result. The attorneys at KaplunMarx have extensive experience obtaining maximum compensation for clients both in and out of court.
