Below are answers to common injury law questions:

Before answering questions from your insurance company or the company representing the other parties in your claim, speak with a lawyer. A personal injury lawyer can explain your legal obligations and help protect you against making statements that might reduce your eventual injury compensation.

When you hire Jeffrey Penneys as your South Philadelphia injury attorney, you’ll only pay a percentage of your legal settlement. You only pay for your injury law services if Jeffrey Penneys wins your case.

Most Philadelphia personal injury cases settle before going to trial. But if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation for your injury, Jeffrey Penneys has significant experience as a trial lawyer. He can represent you in the Pennsylvania courts to protect your rights to the full extent under the law.

Yes. Pennsylvania uses the legal concept of modified comparative negligence to resolve personal injury cases. Comparative negligence allows you to collect damages commensurate with your level of fault as long as you were less than 51% responsible for your injuries. For example, if the insurance company assigns you 30% of the blame for the accident, you will be awarded 70% of any potential settlement.

If you have recently suffered an injury, the first step is to consult a doctor to diagnose your injuries and create a treatment plan. Next, report the accident to your insurance provider. Then call the Law Offices of Jeffrey Penneys to discuss your settlement negotiation strategy.
