Philadelphia is home — our office has sat on Bustleton Avenue in the Northeast for more than two decades, and the city’s courts, insurers, and streets are the terrain of our entire practice. This page is the map of what we do in the city; the homepage and practice areas pages go deeper on each piece. We represent clients in personal injury and workers’ compensation matters exclusively — that focus is deliberate.
Philadelphia Case Types We Handle
Car accidents · Truck accidents · Motorcycle accidents · Slip and fall · Pedestrian accidents · Bicycle accidents · SEPTA & transit · Medical malpractice · Nursing home abuse · Workers’ compensation · Premises liability · Wrongful death — and every other injury type on our practice areas page.
Local Knowledge, Honest Logistics
City cases proceed in the First Judicial District — a court system with its own procedures, arbitration program, and pace that we work in constantly. Philadelphia adds city-specific issues too: SEPTA claims with their six-month notice rule, sidewalk responsibility under city ordinance, and the Roosevelt Boulevard corridor that state crash data consistently ranks among Pennsylvania’s most dangerous roads.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which neighborhoods do you serve?
All of them — from our Somerton office across the Northeast, and every neighborhood citywide through phone, video, home, and hospital consultations. City cases all land in the same court system regardless of neighborhood.
What’s different about suing in Philadelphia versus the suburbs?
The First Judicial District has its own case-management track, a compulsory arbitration program for smaller cases, and jury pools that differ from suburban counties — differences that inform both strategy and settlement value. Working here daily is the advantage.
I was hurt on SEPTA. How fast do I need to act?
Treat six months as the deadline — written notice to the agency is generally required within that window, and it arrives faster than injured people expect. Our SEPTA page covers the details; the phone covers the urgency.
How long do I have to file?
Generally two years under Pennsylvania law — but claims against government entities require written notice within six months, and evidence fades much faster than any deadline. Get your specific dates checked early.
What does hiring you cost?
No attorney’s fee unless we recover for you — the contingency percentage and how case costs are handled are in the written fee agreement you review before signing, and the consultation is free.
