Upper Darby Personal Injury Lawyer – Lawsuit & Claim

What is a personal injury lawsuit or injury claim?

A personal injury lawsuit may be brought anytime you suffer an injury as a result of another person’s negligent act. A personal injury claim can arise, for example, as a result of a motor vehicle accident, a slip and fall on snow or ice, a dog bite, a pedestrian struck by a car, truck, or motorcycle, or a slip and fall inside of a store or apartment building. If you were injured due to an accident or workplace incident in Upper Darby, call our Upper Darby injury lawyer now for a free consultation.

Each personal injury claim is unique. Each type of personal injury lawsuit has its specific requirements in order to recover. For example, a car accident personal injury claim may depend on the tort threshold selection you made when you took out your automobile insurance policy. A slip and fall on snow or ice or in a store or apartment building, may depend on whether the property owner had notice of the condition that caused your injury. A dog bite claim may depend on whether the dog’s owner knew the dog was vicious or had bitten someone on a prior occasion.

If you live in Upper Darby Township, or any other township within Pennsylvania, and suffer a personal injury, contact Michael T. Malarick, an experienced Upper Darby personal injury attorney who will vigorously review and pursue your personal injury claim.

What do I recover in a Personal Injury lawsuit or claim?

If you are involved in a motor vehicle accident, for example, you will suffer damages as a result of your personal injury in a number of ways.

Pain and Suffering: You may suffer a broken bone, a muscle strain or sprain, a concussion, or any other number of physical injuries. These injuries will result in a money award to you for the pain and suffering you endured. There is no specific amount awarded for a specific injury because each individual is unique and the impact of the pain and suffering on each individual is unique.
Medical Specials: You may have medical bills for doctor and hospital visits, diagnostic tests (x-rays, MRI’s, etc.), physical therapy, and prescription medicines. These costs, if not paid for by your auto or health insurance, will be factored into your personal injury lawsuit award or settlement.
Wage Loss: You may suffer a wage loss if you are out of work while recovering from your personal injuries. This wage loss, if not paid for by your insurance, will be factored into your personal injury lawsuit award or settlement.
Property Damage: Your car may have been damaged and in need of a tow to a repair shop. You may also need a rental vehicle while your car is being repaired. Again, these costs, if not paid for by your auto insurance, will be factored into your personal injury lawsuit award or settlement.
Future Damages: You may also have to deal with future pain and suffering, future medical bills, and future wage loss as a result of your personal injury in a motor vehicle accident. The compensation for these future damages is a dollar amount awarded to you in an effort to make you whole.

If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident, or suffered personal injury as the result of the negligent act of another, contact Michael T. Malarick, a personal injury attorney for Upper Darby, PA who will fight to recover every form of past, present, and future damages in order to make you whole again.

Your Social Security claim will first be processed at your local Social Security field office. The Social Security field office that processes applications for Havertown, PA is located at 8645 West Chester Pike, Upper Darby, PA 19082.

The application will also seek information about your disability or impairment, such as:

Your treating physicians;

Once your local field office verifies your information, your claim is sent to the Pennsylvania Disability Determination Service or DDS.

The medical information you provide should be as complete as possible.

If the DDS is unable to make a disability determination from your medical evidence, they may schedule you for a consultative examination.

Once the DDS has made a determination on your disability, your file is returned to the local office for follow-up. If your determination was favorable, the local field office will compute your benefits. If your determination was unfavorable, DDS will return your file to the local Social Security office in case you appeal your unfavorable determination.
