Harrisburg Injury Lawyers

Morgan & Morgan is here for you if you are injured due to another’s carelessness or deliberate actions. Our Harrisburg injury attorneys want to help you receive the settlement you need to recover from your accident physically, mentally, and financially. Ways in which our attorneys can progress your claim include:

• Gather, organize, and present evidence to prove liability
• Provide expert witnesses to strengthen your case
• Liaise with medical providers to prove your injuries and damages
• Negotiate with the insurance company
• Fight vigorously for what you deserve at trial, if necessary

Morgan & Morgan doesn’t want you to settle for less than you deserve. We never hesitate to go to court if insurance companies refuse to compensate our clients adequately.

You could qualify for a personal injury claim even if you were partially responsible for the accident. Pennsylvania is a modified comparative negligence state, meaning you may recover damages if you are not more at fault for the accident than the other party.

However, your damages would be reduced by your degree of fault. For example, if you are 25% at fault for the accident and the other party is 75% at fault, you can recover only 75% of your damages.

Litigating a claim where the injured party is partially at fault for their accident can be tricky. The other party and their attorney may try to assign you a higher degree of fault to avoid paying a high settlement amount. Therefore, consider hiring a Harrisburg injury lawyer to protect your rights to adequate compensation. 

According to the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes Title 42 section 5524, injured individuals generally have to file a personal injury lawsuit within two years. However, several factors could shorten the time available for filing a personal injury lawsuit. Protect your rights by seeking legal advice and protection as soon as possible after getting hurt in Harrisburg.

If you win your injury claim or lawsuit, you could recover economic and non-economic damages, depending on the circumstances of your case. Here is a breakdown of the damages you could receive:

Economic Damages

Economic damages are losses that can be quantified in monetary terms. They should reimburse you for any financial losses you have incurred as a result of your injury, such as:

• Lost pay
• Medical expenses
• Property damage
• Out-of-pocket costs

However, the economic damages you can recover will depend on the circumstances of your case, including the severity of your injuries and the amount of insurance coverage available.

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages are losses that cannot be easily quantified in monetary terms.
They should compensate you for pain and suffering and other such losses. Examples of non-economic damages include:

• Chronic pain
• Disfigurement
• Trauma
• Anxiety
• Loss of life quality

Non-economic damages can be tricky to calculate, as they do not have a specific dollar value. What you can recover will depend on the impact of your injuries on your well-being, home life, career, and other aspects of your life.

Punitive Damages

In some rare cases, personal injury victims may recover punitive damages. Punitive damages punish the person or entity causing your injuries for particularly egregious or malicious conduct. Examples of behavior that may warrant punitive damages include drunk driving or causing intentional harm.

At Morgan & Morgan, we know that putting a price on your pain is impossible.
