What Does a Personal Injury Attorney Do? 

A personal injury attorney can handle every aspect of your legal claim.

Our attorneys are experienced negotiators and will negotiate with the insurance company through their legal representatives to obtain full and fair compensation for you and your loved ones. 

1. Our attorneys will draft a legal complaint 
2. Conduct discovery
3. Argue for and against different motions 
4. Engage in settlement negotiation talks

Our goal is to fight for you and your loved ones and help you obtain maximum compensation for your case.

What is the Statute of Limitations on Pittsburgh Personal Injury Claims? 

Under Pennsylvania law, most personal injury cases have a statute of limitations of two (2) years. You must file suit within two (2) years from your accident or the courts will bar you from recovering financial compensation. As an accident victim in Pittsburgh, you do not have an endless amount of time to file your personal injury claim. If you have a lawsuit in Pittsburgh, then you must file the correct filings with the court within the required statute of limitation period. If you fail to file within the statute of limitations period, then your claim could be barred which means that you would be denied your right to obtain compensation. 

However, there are some limited exceptions to the statute of limitations. The best course of action is to timely contact an attorney so that a legal filing can be made on your behalf within the two (2) year statute of limitations. If more than two (2) years have passed since your accident, then you will need to contact a Pittsburgh personal injury attorney to see whether any exceptions apply. Again, do not delay and call today to schedule a consultation with a personal injury attorney at Herb & Winters Law.

Our law firm operates on a continency fee basis for all personal injury claims in Pittsburgh. We only charge our clients for our services if we win their case and only then out of the award that was one. 

You pay nothing directly out of your pocket. Rather, you will pay your attorney directly out of your settlement or judgment award. Moreover, the amount charged is a pre-agreed upon percentage based upon a fee agreement that you will enter into with your personal injury attorney at the beginning of the case. We have generally found that the contingency fee agreement model is the most effective method for clients in terms of affordability and also allows us to continue to provide high quality legal services for our clients.
