We frequently meet with people who have moral or religious questions and concerns about suing other individuals. Sometimes, for example, people do not feel comfortable with suing someone over an automobile accident. While we believe that many such accidents are not really "accidents" at all, but are typically a result of someone not paying attention to what they were doing, our attorneys do understand that a lawsuit is not always the best way to resolve a case.

From experience, we know what most insurance companies know, which is that a certain number of cases, if properly prepared, can be settled in a fair and acceptable manner, without having to spend any time in a courtroom. For those cases that do not settle, however, our attorneys are prepared to and do take court action. In every case, we will explore settlement options with you. Likewise, we will assist you in dealing with any questions and concerns you may have about the legal process should a lawsuit become necessary.

The Clock is Ticking

The Personal Injury lawyers at Menges, McLaughlin & Kalasnik, P.C. have found that it is important to our attorneys to become involved in a case as soon as possible. This is true for several reasons. First, we are able to keep the insurance companies from pressuring you about settlement, about taking your oral statement, or about filling out forms, releases, etc. Many people do not come to us until after they have tried to negotiate their case on their own, only to find out that they made serious errors that hurt their case.
Second, it is important for our attorneys to get involved as soon as possible because evidence fades quickly. The location of the place of injury changes rapidly and soon it won't look like it did when the incident occurred. Likewise, witnesses' memories fade with time, so that they too may forget important details of the incident.
Another reason why prompt attorney involvement is crucial is because the law of Pennsylvania only provides an injured person with a certain amount of time to file a claim, whether the injury occurred at work or while driving an automobile or motorcycle. Missing these deadlines may mean you are put out of court forever.
