Personal Injury Is Always Personal
You’re in Pain
It’s never easy to recover from a serious injury much less a catastrophic injury. The possibility of lifelong health effects may also add anxiety to the stress of an accident. Physical pain is only the beginning of a personal injury, but it can make it difficult to focus on the rest of the process. That’s where a Philadelphia personal injury lawyer comes in, to help guide you through the pain and suffering to the best possible outcome.
Your Finances Have Taken a Hit
To add insult to injury, getting hurt in an accident is expensive. Lost wages and medical expenses can quickly make the bills overwhelming, through no fault of your own. You shouldn’t have to sacrifice your peace of mind because of someone else’s negligence. When an accident or malpractice results in financial costs as well as injuries, you have rights to compensation that covers all your needs.
You Feel Like No One Cares
Insurance companies aren’t interested in your recovery, physically or financially. They want you to settle for the lowest dollar amount possible, making the process of seeking compensation isolating and stressful. A skilled attorney will use their dedicated experience to represent you and fight for your cause. Our team provides the support you need, so you never feel alone while you focus on recovering.
How Baratta Law, LLC Can Guide You Through a Catastrophic Personal Injury
An attorney with years of experience handling personal injury cases can make a major impact on the settlement you recover from an accident. More importantly, you’ll know someone is acting on your behalf and in your best interest. The office of Baratta Law, LLC will work tirelessly to not only win your case, but to have a positive impact on your family’s life.
Our Experience Will Work for You
Our lawyers have plenty of numbers to back up their claims of experience handling personal injury cases—decades at trial, millions won in verdicts, and numerous honors and awards.

You’ve Been Injured. What’s Next?
When an accident has resulted in catastrophic injuries, the most obvious priority is medical attention. But once you’ve left the hospital and the implications of how the accident is going to change your life begin to set in, you’re likely to have practical questions about dealing with insurance. You may be looking for assistance holding at-fault parties accountable to compensate you for the losses you’ve claimed.
The first steps are often the hardest to take after an accident, malpractice incident, or wrongful death. A Philadelphia personal injury attorney can give advice on your options and guide you on the path to financial compensation. A free consultation with our lawyers will provide more detailed information on the next steps in your situation, but here are some general tips for dealing with a personal injury.
Maintain Consistent Medical Treatment and Records
After an accident, recovering from your injuries should be your primary focus. Following doctors’ advice, keeping follow-up appointments, filling prescriptions on schedule, and communicating with your attorney about your medical care lays a solid foundation for your claim. Our experts are skilled in using consistent medical treatment records as they negotiate with the other party’s insurance.
It may seem like a lot of information to keep up with. Luckily, an attorney can obtain medical records and handle accident claims on your behalf. Our office will provide a folder for any case-related documentation you receive, but the details are our job. You’ve suffered enough. Let our trusted experts rise to the challenge of recovering your financial losses while you recover your life.
Determine Liability for the Injury
Often, the fault for an accident falls solely on the defendant. In a comparative negligence state like Pennsylvania, insurance companies may instead attempt to settle for less by claiming the victim’s actions contributed to the circumstances and they share partial blame. It is important to firmly establish liability, but it may also be complex, particularly in a claim like a vehicle or trucking accident.
A knowledgeable attorney in personal injury practice areas will investigate police reports and pursue a statement from each potential witness in a timely manner following your accident. This evidence solidifies the other party’s liability and strengthens the damages you’ve claimed, and our lawyers will require the insurance company to compensate you fully for all the types of damages you’ve incurred.
Know What Your Claim Is Worth
Opposing insurers may be eager in offering settlements after an accident, but they are rarely concerned with the victim’s pain and suffering. It’s important to remember that their goal is to pay as little as possible and that an effective attorney will advocate for you. We will require them to compensate you for the damage you’ve suffered due to the negligent actions of their insured.
Serious injuries and their impact on your income aren’t likely to resolve quickly. A knowledgeable personal injury attorney will assess your claim and determine the appropriate compensation for present and future pain and suffering. When the lawyers of Baratta Law, LLC represent you, they will use every resource at their disposal to ensure you are awarded sufficient financial compensation.

What Exactly Is a Personal Injury?
In legal terms, a personal injury occurs when someone suffers physical, emotional, or psychological damage due to the negligence of another party. Unfortunately, there are as many forms of personal injury as there are forms of negligence. From medical malpractice to motorcycle accidents, victims of the carelessness of other people have legal rights to pursue compensation.
The lawyers of Baratta Law, LLC specialize in representing and winning for clients who have suffered catastrophic injuries caused by:
- Medical Malpractice – When doctors and nurses fail to uphold their duty to do no harm and errors occur, the outcome can be devastating and change your family’s life.
- Defective Products – If manufacturers don’t ensure the safety of their products for the use of others, serious injuries can occur and result in a products liability claim.
- Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Accidents – Any given moment of carelessness by other drivers can cause a collision that results in a lifetime of pain and suffering.
- Dangerous Property Conditions – A property owner’s failure to secure premises safety at their place of business can result in life-altering injuries to visitors.
- Construction Site Dangers – The negligent actions of contractors can quickly cause serious injury or death on an already hazardous construction site and workplace.
Even if someone else is responsible for your injuries, getting them to compensate you may present a challenge. Our lawyers will use their experience, creativity, and knowledge of Pennsylvania laws to make sure you have a guide along the way, acting on your behalf to achieve justice. We believe personal injury is personal, and that’s actively reflected in our representation of our clients.
