WE ARE EXPERTS IN VARIOUS TYPES OF INJURY CASES
At Shenderovich, Shenderovich & Fishman, we regularly help clients who have sustained a wide variety of injuries. In particular, we are widely known as experts in the following areas of injury law:
SLIP AND FALL ACCIDENTS
A negligent property owner or manager may be responsible for premises liability claims caused by dangerous conditions, including torn carpeting, changes in flooring surfaces, poor lighting, wet floors, improper slope, no railings, inadequate snow, and ice removal, and more.
CHILDREN INJURY CASES
Children may be the victim of injuries caused by the negligence of others, and our attorneys regularly handle cases involving defective toys, playground accidents, daycare injuries, birth injuries, dog bites, vehicle accidents, bicycle crashes, and more. Child injuries are particularly devastating, and parents should be able to recover the compensation necessary to care for their children.
DOG BITE ACCIDENTS
Data available from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows us that approximately one out of every five dog bites in the country require hospitalization. Dog owners in Pennsylvania can be held liable for any bite injuries even if the dog did not bite anybody before.
BICYCLE ACCIDENTS
Bicyclists have no protection against the force of a vehicle slamming into them, and they regularly sustain severe injuries when a crash occurs. Our attorneys are bike riders and know the ins and outs of representing bicyclists injured due to the careless or negligent actions of vehicle drivers on the roadways of Pittsburgh.
SPORTS INJURIES
Whether you play a sport recreationally or competitively, you should never have to worry about sustaining an injury as a result of somebody else’s negligence. Unfortunately, there are times when sports injuries occur because of another person’s actions, including the actions of other players, coaches, institutions, etc. In some cases, sports injuries occur because of defective equipment.
CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS
Construction workers operate around dangerous equipment, and severe injuries commonly occur at construction worksites. According to the Occupational Health And Safety Administration (OSHA), more than 21% of all workplace deaths during the latest reporting year occurred in the construction industry.
PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS
Pedestrians are incredibly vulnerable when they are in and around the roadway. Our bodies do not have any protection against the force of a vehicle, and the careless or negligent actions of other drivers regularly lead to severe pedestrian accident injuries. Injured pedestrians should be able to recover compensation when they are injured due to the actions of others.
Sustaining injuries resulting from someone else’s negligence is a rather complex experience. It is the job of trustworthy and professional experts to guide you through the legal process. When you hire the right team of attorneys, you deserve to know that your case is their top priority. Refer to the list of questions below to better understand how our firm operates.
WHY DO I NEED A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY?
Many people attempt to handle insurance claims and settlements without advice from an expert attorney. While those people believe they can save money by not hiring an attorney to represent them, they are just setting themselves up to be ripped off by an insurance company looking to settle a claim for the cheapest amount possible.
Receiving fair compensation for any personal injury is quite tricky. Insurance companies will use whatever tactics are necessary to pay little to nothing to victims with serious injuries. Insurance companies employ teams of adjusters and lawyers to pressure or intimidate victims into accepting a settlement that is only a fraction of what they deserve, so you need an expert injury attorney to level the playing field.
Please leave it to the experts. Our personal injury attorneys are here to serve you and strive to settle your claim successfully.
HOW MUCH IS A PERSONAL INJURY CASE WORTH?
Insurance companies use many variables when assigning monetary value to a personal injury settlement. Hence, no two cases are ever the same.
A fair settlement needs to compensate you for medical treatment, lost wages, personal property damage, pain and suffering, and other damages.
Even if an insurance company fairly assesses the monetary value of your injury settlement, there is no guarantee that it will offer you the total amount. A personal injury attorney can help you receive the compensation you rightfully deserve.
WILL MY INJURY CASE GO TO TRIAL?
Most personal injury cases settle before trial, but our team will fight for you aggressively and are always prepared to win at trial. Big insurance companies know our law firm’s reputation and know that our injury attorneys work to resolve your case as soon as possible, but will pull no punches during litigation if the insurer fails to make a reasonable settlement offer.
WHEN SHOULD I SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT?
As a victim, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Doctors and other medical professionals can treat your injuries and assess any health issues that have the potential to rise in the future.
