Personal injuries occur every minute across the United States due to a variety of causes - medical malpractice, auto accidents, defective products, unsafe workplaces, hazardous premises, crime.

There are more than six million auto accidents alone each year, resulting in nearly three million injuries and roughly 40,000 deaths. Errors by doctors, nurses and other health care personnel cause an estimated 44,000 to 120,000 deaths annually, or one fatality every five to 12 minutes.

Very often, personal injury is not the victim's fault. In many cases, negligence is the cause of personal injury, and another person, product or place may be liable. If you or a loved one suffered a serious injury or death as the result of negligence or carelessness or because of a defective product or dangerous location, you may want to contact a personal injury attorney.

With some 30 highly skilled attorneys, five of whom are also experienced doctors, the Philadelphia-based law firm has won some of the largest courtroom verdicts and settlements in the Philadelphia-New Jersey-Delaware region and nationwide.
