• Wrongful Death
  Our Representation in Car Accident Claims We handle all matters related to claims of compensation following a car accident. We will carefully investigate the facts of your case, traveling to the location of the crash if necessary. We will be your advocate in all meetings, hearings or proceedings, including all interactions with insurance providers. If there are multiple insurance policies that offer coverage, we will help you determine what they are and take the steps to get the compensation you need and deserve. We understand how automotive insurance policies work and know the steps to take to help you maximize your recovery when you have been injured by someone who either had no insurance or did not have adequate coverage. See our page on uninsured and underinsured motorists claims. We also represent people who have been injured by drunk drivers. Our Philadelphia car accident lawyers will help you seek damages for all types of injuries, from whiplash and other soft tissue damage to serious and catastrophic loss, such as brain or spinal cord injury, broken bones, paralysis, burns, and amputation or loss of limb. We also represent individuals and families with wrongful death claims resulting from car accidents.
• Sex Crimes
  Get Compensation for False Imprisonment Were you improperly detained? A detainment does not just refer to police arrests. People have been illegally detained by retail employees, parking lot attendants and nursing home staff. If you feel you were subjected to wrongful detainment, contact an attorney and find out what your rights are. Were you subjected to wrongful imprisonment? If you were imprisoned on the basis of false accusations, your accuser may be responsible for your distress and loss. Our lawyers can file a lawsuit to recover damages on your behalf. Have you been the victim of institutional assault? If you were detained in jail, prison or another facility and were the victim of a physical assault or abuse, including sexual assault, rape or beating, we will file a civil suit for damages against the guard, law enforcement officer or employee responsible. We will also pursue damages against the institution where you were detained. Were you assaulted by an inmate because of poor supervision? If, as a result of inadequate or negligent security in a private prison or health care facility, you were assaulted, you may have a valid claim against the administrator of the facility.
