• Misdemeanors
• Drug Crimes
• Assault
  Intentional wrongs can also be the basis of personal injury claims, though they are rarer. If someone hits you, for example, even as a practical joke, you may be able to win a suit for battery. Or if a store detective wrongly detains you for shoplifting, you may be able to win a suit for false imprisonment. While perpetrators of some of the intentional torts-assault and battery, for example-can be held criminally liable for their actions, a tort case is a civil proceeding in court brought by an individual or entity and remains totally separate from any criminal charges brought by the government.

• Shoplifting

Employment Law

• Workers Compensation
  To protect an injured worker from loss of income if injured at work and for payment of medical bills, the State Legislature adopted the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act. This Act provides workers with full compensation for medical bills and partial compensation for lost wages if they have been injured on the job. While the rules and regulations governing claims under the Workers Compensation Act are complex, we believe it is important that you have a basic understanding of what the term “Worker’s Compensation” means. Worker’s Compensation is a “no fault” system which means you usually don’t have to show that your employer did anything wrong to have caused your injury. You simply have to prove you were injured while working.

Property Law

• Premises Liability
  Premises liability generally refers to accidents that occur due to the negligent maintenance or unsafe conditions upon property owned by someone other than the injured victim. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania requires landowners to maintain their property in a manner that does not cause injury to those that, for various reasons, visit the property. This law pertains to both business owners and homeowners. Crucial to a premises liability settlement is being able to show how long the defect or injury inflicting element was there, how visible it was, and how much notice the owner had of the dangerous condition before the accident.
• Property Damage
  There are many forms to fill out and questions that need the right answers. You want to know how your property damage (the cost to repair your car) will be paid for. You want to know who will pay for it and how your medical bills will be covered. Worst of all, you or your family may face funeral and burial expenses and you may wonder how that will be covered.

• Medical Malpractice
  Medical malpractice is negligence committed by a professional health care provider-a doctor, nurse, dentist, technician, hospital or hospital worker-whose performance of duties deviates from a standard of practice of those with similar training and experience, resulting in harm to a patient or patients. Most medical malpractice cases are based on the concept of negligence-that is, the patient was harmed because the health care provider failed to meet the required standards of skill and care, in accordance with generally accepted standards. Instances of malpractice might include cutting off the oxygen supply during surgery, misdiagnosing an injury because routine tests and procedures were not followed, or prescribing an illegal drug or one not approved for the patient’s condition.
• Auto Accidents
• Dog Bites
  Although animal-attack claims most commonly involve dog bites, many other types of domesticated animals, such as ferrets, cats, and even birds, can also bite humans. Even non-domesticated animals, such as large cats ordinarily found in the wild, but owned by some people as pets have been known to attack children and adults. An owner’s liability for injuries caused by his or her pet, if any, will vary greatly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. A lawyer from our firm who is experienced in handling personal injury claims is an excellent source for accurate advice and information if you have been injured in animal attack.
