Personal Injury in Pittsburgh

The severity of personal injuries typically plays a role in determining the available avenues for seeking compensation. The experienced attorneys at Dattilo & Associates, P.C. have decades of experience helping injury victims understand the advantages and disadvantages of each option available under Pennsylvania law.

Pittsburgh Accident Victims Have Several Options for Pursuing Compensation

We take the time to listen to the full details of your case to help identify which of the following options may be appropriate for you:

• Insurance claims provide the quickest settlement, and they generally provide full and fair compensation when the costs related to your personal injuries do not extend beyond medical treatment, therapy, and property damage. Many injuries, from moderate to relatively severe, can qualify, including minor cuts and contusions, sprains and strains, simple fractures, whiplash, and even some injuries that require minor surgical procedures.
• Out-of-court settlements do not have the limitations associated with insurance claims, so they are appropriate in situations when your out-of-pocket costs extend beyond medical treatment and property damage. Injuries such as significant internal damage, multiple fractures, or even some head trauma may heal completely over time, but leave you temporarily disabled. When you cannot work for an extended period, or if you need to hire someone to care for yourself and your family during your recovery, the Pittsburgh personal injury attorneys at Dattilo & Associates, P.C. may recommend negotiating a settlement to ensure you recover all costs. 
• Lawsuits can be the most time-consuming and stressful option, but they can be vital in cases of severe injury or permanent disability. If a spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, or other permanent medical condition leaves you unable to work—or if a birth injury caused by medical negligence affects your child for a lifetime—a jury award may be the best option to ensure you and your family receive the full compensation you need.
