Personal Injury

When an act of negligence has caused you serious injury or harm, it is not only necessary to seek immediate medical attention, but to also contact a knowledgeable personal injury attorney in Montgomery County for legal help. The consequences of a personal injury can impact your life far beyond physical recovery. Unfortunately, in addition to physical pain, serious injuries can also bring forth emotional distress and financial hardship. At Crichton Law, we understand how upsetting and frustrating it must be to not only worry about physically healing from your injury, but to also be concerned over your emotional and financial well-being. As such, we are dedicated to helping our clients obtain just compensation for their losses and damages.

Regardless of whether you have been hurt in an auto accident, slip and fall, or another type of personal injury, at Crichton Law, we are here to help. We will diligently work on your claim to ensure that insurance companies and at-fault parties are held accountable for their negligence and actions. Holding insurance companies and at-fault parties responsible for their role in your misfortune is a key step toward procuring favorable recompense.

It is important to recognize that at-fault parties, especially insurance companies, are not eager to pay out on damages on personal injury claims. In fact, insurance companies are armed with attorneys and professionals whose jobs are to deal with personal injury cases and claims. These attorneys and professionals are masters at diminishing claims and paying out as little as possible to victims and their families. Without someone in your corner to fight for your rights, you do not really stand a chance against their tactics and resources. That is why it is imperative to enlist the legal assistance of a highly experienced personal injury attorney in Montgomery County.

Types of Personal Injuries We Handle

At Crichton Law, we handle various types of personal injury claims. With years of experience serving clients in Montgomery County and surrounding areas, we have represented many different types of personal injury cases that have furthered our expertise in this practice area. Even though the most common type of personal injury case that is addressed is auto accidents, an injury can occur anytime and anywhere, and not necessarily behind the wheel or as a passenger in a vehicle.

Below are some of the most common types of personal injuries we handle:

• Slip and Fall Accidents: Slip and fall accidents are quite common when it comes to personal injury cases. If an individual slips and falls in a public place or premises, the property owner could be held liable for the injuries sustained as well as the medical bills and other damages associated with the slip and fall incident. Property owners have a legal obligation to keep the premises they are responsible for free of dangerous conditions and hazards. However, it is important to note that not all slip and falls are grounds for liability or the pursuit of compensation. If you have been involved in a slip and fall accident, it is advised to talk to a personal injury attorney in Montgomery County to help assess your claim.
• Bicycle and Motorcycle Accidents: Bicycle and motorcycle accidents occur every day in Pennsylvania and across the country. A person can get seriously or severely injured while riding a bicycle or motorcycle. These types of accidents usually occur when the rider is struck by a car or truck on the road. Unfortunately, riders do not have the same protection that a car or truck offers. And so, the injuries can be dire or even fatal. If you or a loved has been involved in a bicycle or motorcycle accident, it is imperative to consult with a personal injury attorney in Montgomery County as soon as possible.
• Nursing Home Neglect: Nursing homes are responsible for the care of their patients. Family members entrust these facilities with their loved ones, and expect that they receive compassion and attentive medical care. Unfortunately, nursing home neglect is a rising concern across the country. Many residents and families are facing serious to severe injuries and abuse. Nursing home neglect can include poor hygiene, bedsores, trips and falls, broken bones, depression, wrong medication administration, and other kinds of injuries or harm not listed. Injuries sustained may not always be indicative of nursing home neglect, but if you or a loved one has suffered an injury in a nursing home, it is crucial to enlist the legal assistance of a personal injury attorney in Montgomery County right away.

If you or a loved one have been injured, a personal injury attorney in Montgomery County can assess your case and determine how to best move forward with your claim. At Crichton Law, while you commit to healing and recovery, we will commit to pursuing those liable for your injury.
