What should I do immediately after a car accident in Pennsylvania?

Call 911, seek medical attention, document the scene, and contact an attorney before speaking with insurance companies.

How do I know if I have a personal injury case?

If your injuries were caused by someone else’s negligence, you may have a claim. A consultation can confirm your legal options.

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Pennsylvania?

Most personal injury cases in Pennsylvania must be filed within two years, though some exceptions apply.

How much does it cost to hire Marino Associates?

We operate on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing unless we win your case.

Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company already made an offer?

Yes. Early settlement offers are often low. An attorney can evaluate the true value of your case.

Do I have to go to court for my injury case?

Not always. Many claims settle outside court, but we prepare every case for trial to ensure maximum leverage.

Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?

Yes. Under Pennsylvania’s modified comparative negligence rule, you can recover damages if you are less than 51% at fault.

What types of compensation can I recover?

You may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, future care needs, and other damages.

How do I know if my injury qualifies as medical malpractice?

If a healthcare provider failed to meet the standard of care and caused harm, you may have a malpractice claim.

Can I sue the police for excessive force?

Yes. If an officer used more force than necessary under the circumstances, you may have grounds for a civil rights lawsuit.
