South Philly residents shouldn't suffer needlessly because someone else made a poor decision. 

— Brian Mittman, Esq.

Our South Philadelphia Injury Law Office

Although personal injury accidents happen every single day, no one imagines that it will happen to them until it does.  Then, most victims learn that it's not just physical pain and suffering that they will experience. The financial and personal losses can also be substantial.

Our Philadelphia Lawyers Can Help

For years, our team has dedicated their careers to helping the victims of personal injury accidents. Our clients have been hurt:

  • in car accidents
  • in bus accidents
  • by defective devices
  • in slip and fall accidents
  • by defective drugs
  • and from dog bites

Regardless of how they were injured, they were all in debt from medical expenses and lost wages.  Together, we worked with them to investigate their accident, collect evidence, identify the party who was responsible and take legal action.

Why Should I Consider Filing A Lawsuit?

Filing a personal injury lawsuit may be the only way to obtain compensation. The amount a plaintiff gets varies from case to case and is based off of the losses that were sustained. In addition to this, it can provide the plaintiff with a sense of relief knowing that justice has been served.

Personal Injury Attorney - Helping Accident Victims Recover

How Can A Car Accident Lawyer Help?

  • Law Firm Highly Recommended By Hundreds Of Former Clients

  • Voted Best Auto Accident Legal Team 2017

  • Decades Of Experience Working With Motor Vehicle Accident Victims and Their Loved Ones

It's common for those who have been injured in a car accident to initially believe that their car insurance company will help them pay for their medical expenses and lost wages. While this may be true in part, the fact is that the insurance company will only pay the maximum amount allowed under the policy. When injuries are serious enough, the medical bills can easily reach thousands and sometimes millions of dollars. When insurance will only cover a fraction of the costs, many victims are left with huge debt and no way to repay it.

That's when many victims make the decision to file a lawsuit against the party responsible for the car accident. While it's possible to obtain full compensation through a lawsuit, it's difficult to navigate the legal process without an attorney.

An attorney can assist with all of the necessary legal paperwork, investigate the accident, determine if there is more than one party at fault, collect witness statements, and prepare the case and client for either settlement negotiations or trial.

Law Firm - Using All Of Their Resources To Help Clients

Workers' Comp Attorneys Fighting For Injured Employees Rights

  • Respected Members Of The Philadelphia Legal Scene

  • Voted Best Workers' Comp Law Firm 2016

  • Top Settlements Obtained For Former Clients

A work accident can happen at any time in any industry causing serious harm to hardworking employees. The injuries sustained may not only require extensive and expensive medical care, but it may also keep the employee from returning to their chosen career. Not only is this heart-breaking but it also means that a once regular income is no longer available.

Nearly every single employer in the state is required to have workers' compensation insurance to cover all of their employees in case an accident occurs. This insurance coverage is intended to provide the injured worker with the money they need to pay for their medical expenses and if they are unable to work, a fraction of their lost wages. But even this coverage may not be enough to prevent financial ruin and a disturbing number of claims are denied each year.

Not only can an attorney help guide an injured worker through the process of filing a claim, they can also handle the appeals process, and in many cases, they identify another party whose negligence resulted in the accident. If a negligent third-party is found, it may also be possible for the worker to file a personal injury lawsuit that could provide them with all of the compensation they need.

Trial Attorney - Fighting Aggressively In Court

Monheit Law Firm Has Experience Taking Client's Construction Cases To Trial

  • Experienced Lawyers Fighting For The Best Results For Clients

  • Top Settlement Offers Reached Through Careful Negotiation

  • Recommended Highly By Former Clients Whose Construction Accident Cases Went To Trial

Construction accidents are some of the most dangerous and deadly accidents that any worker can be involved in. Defective equipment, employers who fail to enforce safety standards, jobs working at great heights, and slip and fall hazards all create a workplace that injures thousands every year. In most cases, the victims of these accident can not only pursue a workers' comp claim but they can also file a personal injury lawsuit against the negligent party.

The idea of taking a legal case before a judge and jury may feel overwhelming and intimidating to some, causing them to hesitate when it comes time to file a lawsuit. However, a good law firm will make sure that not only is the case ready to go to trial, but the client is as well.

At Monheit Law, we prepare every case as though it will eventually end up in court, despite the fact that the majority of civil lawsuits end in the acceptance of a settlement offer. We know how stressful this time is for our clients and we want them to feel prepared every step of the way.

Civil Law Attorney - Helping Patients Get The Compensation They Need

Medical Malpractice Lawyers Dedicated To Righting Doctors Wrongs

  • Law Firm Passionately Fighting For The Best Verdicts Possible

  • Voted Top Med Mal Lawyers By Former Clients

  • Offering Free Consultations For The Victims Of Medical Malpractice

Being sick can be exhausting, painful, and scary. Every day, thousands of people make appointments or go to the emergency room, hoping that the doctor they see will get them onto the road to recovery. In many cases, patients go home feeling much better but sometimes, a doctor makes a mistake. These mistakes might include:

When a mistake is made, the patient may find that they are suddenly suffering from side effects, physical pain that otherwise wouldn't have occurred, and to make matters worse, it may mean that their original condition has been missed entirely and allowed to progress, making them even sicker.

The victims of medical malpractice or the loved one who died because of a medical professional's mistake have the right to pursue legal action against those responsible. If compensation is obtained, it can cover the losses sustained due to medical expenses, lost wages, physical pain and suffering, and even emotional trauma.

Lawyer - Assisting Clients During Their Most Painful Time

Victims With A Brain Injury Shouldn't Hesitate To Contact Our Attorneys

  • Rated Best Law Firm For Victims With Traumatic Brain Injury 2016

  • Decades Of Experience Handling Lawsuits Regarding Head Trauma

  • Lawyers Combining Passion, Experience, & Dedication To Get Their Clients The Best Possible Outcome

The brain is the control center of the body and when it has been damaged, it can impact a person's speech, vision, memory, movement, and can leave a patient with lifelong pain. The top causes of traumatic head and brain injury include:

  • car accidents
  • slip and falls
  • being hit by a falling object

Whatever the reason, once the damage has been done, the victim may no longer be able to work or enjoy activities that they previously enjoyed, impacting their quality of life in addition to the physical damage they have sustained. To make matters worse, the treatments frequently required are so expensive that it's not uncommon for medical expenses to add up to more than $1 million.

The average American simply can't afford to have their life disrupted so horribly and still remain financially stable. This is why the law allows the victims to pursue legal action against the party whose negligence caused the accident and therefore caused the traumatic brain injury. It may not bring back their physical abilities but it can provide the plaintiff with the compensation they so desperately need.
