How we can help you in your hand injury case.
See what clients have said about us. We have successfully handled dozens of personal injury cases involving hand injury and arm injury for clients in Pennsylvania. See some of our successes.
We have recently won a lawsuit where our client suffered serious hand injuries including open reduction internal fixation hand surgery due to a motorcycle accident on Route 73 near Boyertown, Pennsylvania. we obtained a six-figure recovery.
We recovered a settlement for a client with RSD due to an unsafe truck. There, we brought in two engineer experts to prove liability and worked with the client’s pain management specialist to prove the RSD was caused by the truck accident. Another recent example was a six-figure recovery for a client who was injured when bit by a dog while he was working as an electrician – the hand injury involved compartment syndrome and cellulitis.
We work to investigate, locate and preserve evidence from the scene and witnesses for hand injury personal injury cases. It is important to work as soon as possible to determine the best evidence. The insurance company for the person or entity that caused your injury will be doing this.
The insurance company does this every day so that they can pay as little as possible on claims. We will work with your hand specialist to obtain reports and documentation to show how your car accident, fall injury, or injury from equipment caused your injury.
If you are not able to continue to work, we are highly experienced with proving lost earning capacity (sometimes called lost future earnings) through the use of vocational experts.
We have litigated and successfully recovered damages for clients with RSD (reflex sympathetic dystrophy), carpal tunnel injuries, hand fractures with surgery and implantation of surgical hardware.

What about RSD Injuries?
RSD can be caused by traumatic crush injury to your extremities, including your hand. We have fought against Insurance Company tactics in RSD cases. We can explain to you what the insurance company’s game plan will be in your case. They will often request that you be seen by their doctor to argue that you do not have “objective” signs of RSD.
The insurance company may do surveillance or request copies of your previous medical history to argue either the accident did not cause your RSD or that you do not have RSD. The literature and study on RSD have advanced greatly in recent years. As experienced personal injury lawyers who have argued RSD cases and worked with medical experts to prove these cases, we have learned strategies to prove your case.
Insurance Companies often look to avoid paying RSD injuries or carpal tunnel injuries.
