Texting While Driving

Protect Your Standard of Living
In this age of smart devices, many Americans find it difficult to keep their eyes and hands cell phone-free. For this reason, several Pennsylvania lawmakers have been enacting and proposing new laws and regulations to combat the annual number of cell phone-related traffic collisions.
A serious accident can lead to injuries that require expensive medical treatments, multiple surgical procedures, and ongoing rehabilitative services. As the medical bills start piling up, many accident survivors find it difficult to singlehandedly afford the scope of their injury-related expenses. By taking legal action, you can be awarded damages that facilitate your physical recovery and provide for your existing and potential medical expenses.
If your lawsuit is successful, you may be able to recover the following damages and more:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Loss of earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
Like most states, Pennsylvania has comparative negligence laws that allows a plaintiff to recover damages even if they are partly responsible for an accident. However, to save money, the defendant’s insurance company may try to limit your damages or eliminate your right to compensation by trying to prove that you’re greatly responsible for the collision. Only an experienced car accident lawyer can meticulously investigate your case, compile and utilize applicable evidence, and develop a litigation strategy that reflects and achieves your financial and legal objectives.

"After been paralyzed from the neck down because of a drunk driver, Kevin Marciano was my last hope. Kevin fought very hard for me and kept me advised of every aspect of the case. Because of the settlement, I am living in a home that I purchased rather than in a nursing home. I have some of my life back."

Kevin and Patrick were amazing to work with and a God send to us in our time of need. They especially had to work even harder during COVID-19 to make a safe way to put our troubles to a smooth and safe finish. They were caring and understanding to our personal situation in the health and well being of our son who was hit by a car. This recommendation was priceless. We are most fortunate that our son's life was spared, but their help to give him back his life will never be forgotten! Thank you Kevin and Patrick and the rest of your team!
