Providing Trust & Confidence to Every Client

Each of our Philadelphia area accident lawyers has an extensive legal background and provides all our clients with the time and attention necessary to achieve the best possible result in their case.

Practice Areas

Car Accidents

Car accidents injure around 10,000 people a year in Philadelphia, injuring drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists. We’ll help you navigate insurance claims and get you the result you deserve.

Slip & Fall

Slip and falls are one of the most common cases taken up by personal injury attorneys near Philadelphia. If you’ve been injured due to a slip and fall because of the negligence of the property owner, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

Uber, Lyft, Taxi, and Limo Accident Attorneys

Getting hurt in a rideshare vehicle can become a nightmare when figuring out who should pay. Transportation companies employ legal teams whose job is protecting profits, not injured passengers.

Truck Accidents

Big rigs on city and suburban streets can cause tremendous damage to smaller vehicles. These monsters can weigh over 80,000 lb. when fully loaded – your car doesn’t stand a chance. Our Philadelphia personal injury attorneys know how to stand up to commercial trucking outfits’ legal teams to get you compensation.

Bus Injuries

Seven days a week, hundreds of thousands of people from the Philadelphia region rely on SEPTA for their transportation needs. That leaves thousands of people at risk every day of being injured due to the negligence of SEPTA operators in addition to commercial and school buses.

Construction Site Accidents

Hard hats and safety vests can’t prevent every disaster on active job sites, of which there are many across Philadelphia and the surrounding areas. Our accident lawyers have ample experience helping victims of such incidents get what they’re rightfully owed.

Medical Malpractice

Medical personnel sometimes make terrible mistakes that change patients’ lives forever. Many personal injury attorneys in Philadelphia aren’t equipped to handle the detailed case preparation involved in medical malpractice cases. At SBGL, we can help you achieve the outcome you deserve.

Snow & Ice

If the owner of a property fails to remove snow and ice from their property and you are injured, the owner may be responsible to pay your medical bills and compensate you for your pain and injuries.

Motorcycle Accidents

Two-wheeled vehicles offer little protection when cars slam into them at busy intersections. We’ll make sure you’re compensated for what could be life-changing injuries and maximize your recovery.

Premises Liability

Negligent security, dog bites, sidewalk accidents, swimming pool accidents, falling merchandise, and fire safety and building code violations are just some of the premises liability cases that we’ll fight for you to receive fair compensation.

Other Personal Injuries

There are a multitude of personal injury accidents that occur every day, and we work personally with every client to understand their story and maximize their recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of damages are recoverable in a personal injury claim?

If you’ve suffered a personal injury, it means you’ve suffered physical, emotional, or financial losses due to someone else’s negligence. Generally, damages are considered to be either economic (such as bodily injury, lost wages, or damage to property) or non-economic damages (including emotional distress or pain and suffering). As your personal injury attorney in Philadelphia, we’ll deal with the defendants and insurance companies so you can focus on your recovery.

Why should I choose local lawyers?

It’s best to choose accident lawyers based in Philadelphia if your accident happened in the area. We understand local laws and have over 50 years of experience helping our clients to get the best possible outcome with their personal injury claims and cases. With local insight, we can build a more compelling case for you.

How long does it take to resolve a personal injury case?

Every case is different, with influencing factors such as how severely you were injured, if you lost current or future income, and if your recuperation and hospital bills are ongoing. As your personal injury attorneys in the Philadelphia area, we know that some cases can be resolved quickly, out of court, with a settlement. Other cases may require filing a lawsuit and going to court. It could take a few months or more than a year.

Are there any upfront fees or costs?

No, with Segal, Berk, Gaines & Liss, there are no upfront fees or costs. You only pay us if we’re successful. Instead of worrying about our fees, we want you to focus on your recovery while we handle your case. We work to get you a fair resolution and we only get paid when you receive compensation.

What if I’m partially at fault for the accident?

Your personal injury attorney will thoroughly investigate to establish who is actually to blame. In Philadelphia and the surrounding counties, we’re under Pennsylvania’s “modified comparative negligence” statute. That means that if you’re less than 50% responsible for the accident, you can still recover proportionate damages.

Do I have to go to court?

Some personal injury cases do go to court, but most of them don’t. As your Philadelphia accident lawyers, we will first attempt to secure a fair settlement for you, and if the parties cannot reach an agreement, then we will fight for fair compensation in court.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?

The statute of limitations for most personal injury claims in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware is two years. There are exceptions to this two-year limit, and it can be shorter, so don’t hesitate to contact us to find out more if you have any concerns.
