No one plans to be injured in an accident, yet they happen every day. Even in just a split second, a person could suffer a lifetime of serious injury or permanent disability. As a result, victims and their families are often faced with high medical bills while being out of work and losing wages. Not only can this be stressful, but it can be frustrating when the negligent party or their insurance adjuster refuses to take responsibility for their reckless, careless, and outright dangerous conduct. If this scenario sounds familiar, you need to call our personal injury attorneys in Norristown, PA at Silver & Silver.

Common Types of Personal Injuries We Handle
Our experienced personal injury attorneys in Norristown, PA have experience handling a wide variety of different types of cases resulting in bodily harm or wrongful death to others. We have a proven track record of success handling cases for victims and their families, ensuring their rights under Pennsylvania law are protected. Some of the most common types of claims that we handle include the following:
Car Accidents – Unfortunately, motor vehicle accidents such as car crashes, trucking wrecks, motorcycle collisions, bicycle accidents, and other motor vehicle collisions happen every day in Pennsylvania. According to PA Department of Transportation statistics, there are roughly 125,000 traffic crashes each year. Of these crashes, about 55,000 result in bodily injuries, and almost 1,000 are fatal. Most of these car accidents are caused by the failure to exercise reasonable care in the use or operation of the motor vehicle. This means that most crashes are preventable, and a victim’s injuries are avoidable.
Slip and Fall or Trip and Fall Accidents – Falls are very common and can occur generally anywhere. These are a type of premises liability case, meaning that the claim arises from the use or operation of a property. If you were injured in a slip and fall or trip and fall accident in a store, restaurant, public park, or someone’s own residence, you may be entitled to compensation under Pennsylvania law and should contact one of our personal injury lawyers in Norristown, PA, at Silver & Silver.
Truck Accidents – Semi tractor-trailers and other commercial vehicle crashes are sadly often very deadly due to the massive size and weight of these vehicles. While truck drivers receive special training to exercise caution on the roads as it is their profession, unfortunately, some truck drivers fail to drive safely, costing many innocent individuals their lives. If people are fortunate enough to survive a trucking accident, they are often faced with catastrophic injuries that these individuals will likely deal with for the rest of their lives.
Motorcycle accidents – Due to the lack of protection while driving a motorcycle, most motorcyclists suffer significant trauma in a crash. Some are also killed, even in low-speed collisions. This type of personal injury case can be difficult to try in court because of unfair stereotypes, making it essential to have an experienced personal injury attorney such as the attorneys at Silver & Silver who can give you the best possible chance of gaining compensation for your injuries.
Dog Bite or Animal Attack Cases – Pennsylvania is a strict liability state for medical bills, meaning dog owners are automatically responsible for paying for a victim’s medical expenses. However, if the victim can establish that the dog owner knew or should have known that the dog had dangerous propensities, or if the owner was negligent in keeping a dangerous dog away from others, a victim may be entitled to recover full compensation including pain and suffering.
Medical Malpractice or Birth Injuries – We trust doctors to provide us with competent and appropriate care. Most times they do, especially to our newborns. But unfortunately, sometimes doctors fail to do this. Patients could be seriously harmed or wrongfully killed when a healthcare provider is reckless, careless, or downright negligent in rendering medical care. When these damages occur to a baby or during labor and delivery, serious birth injuries could result in a lifetime of agony for a child. Always seek an experienced personal injury lawyer in Norristown, PA like ours at Silver & Silver.
Traumatic Brain Injuries – Traumatic brain injuries can occur for a variety of reasons, but often are due to the negligence of others causing an accident. If you or your loved one suffered a traumatic brain injury due to the recklessness or carelessness of someone else, we strongly encourage you to reach out to our lawyers today to review your case today to determine if your traumatic brain injury could have been prevented. If so, you may be entitled to compensation.
