Types of Cases We Handle
There are many possible ways that an individual could sustain personal injuries in Pennsylvania. No matter the cause or type of accident, we can handle a claim for you and your family. Some of the most common types of cases that we handle include the following:
Car Accidents
Pennsylvania car accidents result in over 76,000 injuries and nearly 1,100 fatalities each year. Even when liability appears obvious, insurance companies will try to make it more difficult for you to recover compensation. This includes blaming you for your injuries or the accident. Although Pennsylvania is a “no-fault” state, there are some differences in limited tort and full tort insurance companies that can confuse policyholders—even some lawyers. This is why it is critical to retain an experienced auto accident lawyer in Newtown Square, PA, like Silver & Silver, who regularly handles auto insurance companies and knows the differences in policies.
Slips, Trips, and Falls
Anytime an injury is caused in a store, private residence, government building, or on the property of another, a victim may have rights under Pennsylvania law to file a premises liability action. This is because Pennsylvania law requires all landowners to exercise reasonable care under the circumstances in maintaining their premises in a reasonably safe condition. This means that property owners, tenants, or maintainers could be liable for slips, trips, and falls resulting in personal injuries.
Dog Bite or Animal Attacks
Pennsylvania law holds dog owners “strictly liable” for a victim’s medical bills after a dog bite or animal attack. While this is helpful to recovering compensation for medical bills, unfortunately, it rarely makes a victim “whole” again. This is because dog bites and animal attacks are traumatizing events, especially for little children. To recover compensation for these emotional damages known as pain and suffering, a victim will need to prove that the dog owner was either 1) negligent or 2) knew or should have known that the dog had vicious propensities to cause harm. This is often very difficult and requires a thorough investigation. If you or a loved one were seriously injured in an animal attack or dog bite, ask our injury attorney in Newtown, PA, for help.
Medical Malpractice
Although we rely on healthcare providers to heal us and render competent medical care, unfortunately, preventable medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States, behind only cancer and heart disease. This is a shocking statistic, mainly because medical malpractice insurance carriers aggressively defend and hotly contest any type of malpractice claim.
Here at Silver & Silver, we will not let insurance carriers protect dangerous doctors. We work with some leading experts to help victims recover compensation for medical malpractice in Pennsylvania, including birth injuries, failure to diagnose, surgical errors, and other related claims.
Other Claims We Handle
While we will review and possible handle any type of accident resulting in personal injuries, some of the other types of claims that we commonly handle include the following:
- Bicycle accidents
- Construction accidents
- Pedestrian hit by a car
- Nursing home abuse, neglect, and malpractice
- Product defects

- Wrongful death actions, and
- Any other cause of damages to you or a loved one.
