When You Should Involve a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Act immediately after medical treatment stabilizes

Contact GLS Injury Law once you’ve received initial medical care. Evidence disappears quickly, security footage gets erased, witnesses relocate, accident scenes get repaired. Early involvement preserves critical proof.

We ensure claims are filed within Pennsylvania’s two-year statute of limitations and protect you from insurance company tactics designed to minimize payouts.

Serious injuries, disputed fault, and insurance denials require experienced counsel

  • Hospitalization or surgery: Any serious injury demanding medical intervention.
  • Permanent disability: Long-term or lifelong impairment affecting work and daily life.
  • Disputed liability: When the other party claims you caused or contributed to the accident.
  • Lowball offers: Insurance settlements that don’t cover medical bills, let alone future needs.
  • Policy limit disputes: Multiple liable parties or underinsured coverage questions.

Timely action protects evidence and legal rights

  • Two-year deadline: Pennsylvania statute of limitations starts from injury date. Missing this deadline forfeits all rights forever.
  • Evidence preservation: Police reports, medical records, witness statements, and scene photos must be gathered early.
  • Insurance tactics: Adjusters move fast to build defenses and pressure quick, unfair settlements.

Pennsylvania Personal Injury Laws That Impact Your Claim

Comparative Negligence in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania follows modified comparative negligence. You can recover damages even if partially at fault, as long as your share of responsibility is less than 50 percent. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.

Example: You’re 20 percent at fault in a crash. Your $100,000 case value becomes $80,000 after reduction. Our PA injury lawyers maximize recovery while minimizing fault attribution.

Two-Year Statute of Limitations

You have two years from the injury date to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. Limited exceptions exist for minors or delayed-discovery cases. Workers’ compensation carry different deadlines.

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage

If the at-fault driver lacks insurance or carries insufficient limits, claims may proceed through your own UM/UIM policy. We also identify other liable parties, employers, vehicle owners, contractors, and/or property owners to maximize available coverage.

At GLS Injury Law, we believe that injury victims deserve more than just representation- they deserve unwavering support, advocacy, and results. With decades of combined legal experience dedicated solely to personal injury and accident cases, we’ve helped thousands of clients from Lancaster County and beyond reclaim their lives after devastating events. Whether it’s a car crash, slip and fall, workplace accident, or medical negligence, we fight tirelessly for your rights. Our seasoned trial attorneys know the intricacies of Pennsylvania law and how to leverage it for maximum compensation.

What sets us apart is not only our legal expertise but our deep commitment to our clients. We’re accessible, responsive, and fully invested in your recovery. While you focus on healing, we handle the rest- dealing with insurance adjusters, managing your medical care, and building a compelling case that reflects the full impact of your injuries. Below, we answer some of the most common questions our clients have about personal injury law and how we can help.

Common Questions About Pennsylvania Personal Injury Claims

A personal injury case arises when an individual suffers harm due to someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional wrongdoing. Common examples include auto accidents, slip and fall incidents, workplace injuries, defective products, and medical malpractice. To have a valid claim, you must show that another party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused you harm as a result.

At GLS Injury Law, we assess every angle of your situation- whether it’s a distracted driver, a negligent property owner, or a careless employer. Even if you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies, a consultation with our experienced attorneys can clarify your rights and options. It’s important to act quickly, as evidence can fade and Pennsylvania law imposes strict deadlines (statutes of limitations) on filing claims.

Don’t try to determine the value of your case on your own- let us evaluate it thoroughly and provide the legal roadmap you need to move forward with confidence.

The value of a personal injury claim depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, the impact on your daily life, medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term consequences such as disability or disfigurement.

At GLS Injury Law, we don’t rely on rough estimates or one-size-fits-all calculators. We dig deep into the facts of your case, consulting medical experts, economists, and vocational specialists to ensure every dollar of loss is accounted for. Insurance companies often try to settle quickly- and cheaply- but we won’t let you leave money on the table.

Our attorneys have recovered millions for clients across Lancaster County and the surrounding areas, because we understand how to value cases properly and negotiate or litigate accordingly. Your case is unique, and we treat it that way. You deserve full compensation- not a fraction of it.

In Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. However, there are exceptions depending on the specifics of the case, such as claims against a government entity, which may require much earlier notice.

Missing the deadline can result in losing your right to recover compensation altogether. That’s why we urge victims to contact our firm as soon as possible. At GLS Injury Law, we immediately begin preserving evidence, interviewing witnesses, and building your case so you’re never caught off guard.

The earlier we get involved, the stronger your case becomes. Legal deadlines are unforgiving, but we ensure that every filing is timely, every form is accurate, and every legal opportunity is pursued to the fullest.

Not necessarily. In fact, the majority of personal injury claims are resolved through negotiations and settlements before trial. That said, we prepare every case as if it will go to court. Why?

Because thorough preparation leads to stronger settlements- and if the insurance company refuses to offer what you truly deserve, we are ready to take your case to a jury. At GLS Injury Law, our reputation as skilled litigators often encourages fair settlements because insurers know we won’t back down.

If court becomes necessary, rest assured that you’ll have seasoned trial attorneys by your side, guiding you through each step, from depositions to verdict. Whether your case settles out of court or proceeds to trial, our mission remains the same: to deliver maximum compensation with minimal stress to you.

Your health and safety come first. Seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel fine- some injuries can take hours or days to fully manifest.

Next, document everything: take photos of the scene, gather contact information of witnesses, and obtain a copy of any police report. Avoid speaking with insurance adjusters before consulting with a lawyer, and never admit fault. Once you’re safe and stable, contact GLS Injury Law.

We’ll help you avoid common pitfalls, protect crucial evidence, and initiate the legal process with strength and strategy. Time is of the essence- early involvement often means the difference between a successful outcome and a missed opportunity. Our team is available 24/7 and offers free consultations, so don’t hesitate to reach out.

Negligence is the legal concept at the heart of most personal injury claims. To prove it, we must establish four key elements: duty of care, breach of that duty, causation, and damages.

For example, a driver owes a duty to operate their vehicle safely; if they text while driving and cause a crash, that’s a breach. If the crash results in your injury, and you suffer financial losses, we’ve established the groundwork for a negligence claim.

At GLS Injury Law, we use witness statements, accident reconstructions, medical records, and expert testimony to build a compelling argument. Our decades of courtroom experience give us the insight to anticipate and counter defense tactics. We don’t just gather evidence- we turn it into a story that wins.

Pennsylvania follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means you can still recover compensation if you were partially at fault, as long as you are not more than 50% responsible.

However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For instance, if you’re awarded $100,000 but found 20% at fault, you’d receive $80,000. Insurance companies love to use this rule against claimants, often exaggerating your level of fault to reduce their payout.

That’s why it’s critical to have seasoned attorneys like those at GLS Injury Law advocating for you. We’ll thoroughly investigate the facts, challenge unfounded claims of negligence, and make sure your side of the story is heard loud and clear. Don’t let someone else’s version of the truth diminish your rightful compensation.

At GLS Injury Law, we work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront- and we only get paid if we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your settlement or verdict, agreed upon in advance.

This ensures that quality legal representation is available to everyone, regardless of financial means. We also advance all case-related costs, from expert witnesses to filing fees. If we don’t recover compensation for you, you owe us nothing. It’s that simple. We believe injured people should focus on healing, not legal bills.

With our no-risk guarantee, you can confidently move forward knowing your case is in the hands of experienced professionals who are fully invested in your success.

In Pennsylvania, personal injury victims may be entitled to several types of compensation, or “damages.” These include economic damages- such as medical bills, lost wages, and future treatment costs- and non-economic damages like pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.

In rare cases involving egregious misconduct, punitive damages may also be awarded to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior. At GLS Injury Law, we take the time to understand the full scope of how your injury has affected your life- physically, emotionally, and financially.

We work with top-tier experts to calculate both current and future needs, ensuring you’re not left facing medical bills years down the line. Our mission is full justice- and we won’t rest until we get it.

Choosing the right attorney can make or break your case. At GLS Injury Law, we’ve earned our reputation as not only Lancaster County’s, but Central Pennsylvania’s premier personal injury law firm by delivering results with compassion, tenacity, and integrity.

Our attorneys are not only experienced litigators- they’re dedicated advocates who treat every client like family. We don’t hand your case off to junior staff. We handle everything personally, ensuring that every detail is addressed and every question answered. Our 24/7 accessibility, aggressive representation, and proven courtroom skills are unmatched in the region.

Most importantly, we’ve recovered tens of millions for clients who were once in your shoes. When you hire us, you’re not just getting a lawyer- you’re gaining a team that fights relentlessly for your future.

Not always. Minor fender-benders with no injuries may not require counsel. But any hospitalization, lasting injury, disputed fault, or serious accident demands experienced legal representation.

Most resolve in 6–18 months. Complex cases involving litigation, multiple defendants, or catastrophic injuries can take longer depending on medical recovery and court schedules.

Settlements range from tens of thousands to seven figures depending on injury severity, liability clarity, insurance limits, and negotiation skill. Catastrophic cases with permanent disability yield higher recoveries.

Yes, under Pennsylvania’s 51 Percent Rule. You can recover damages reduced by your percentage of fault, as long as you’re less than 51 percent responsible.

Nothing upfront. We work on contingency. You owe attorney fees only if we win your case through settlement or verdict.

Yes. Pennsylvania courts recognize psychological trauma as compensable non-economic damage when supported by medical records or therapist testimony.

Claims may proceed through your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. We also pursue other liable parties such as employers, vehicle owners, or contractors.

Immediately after medical treatment stabilizes. Evidence disappears quickly, and the two-year statute of limitations starts from your injury date.
