Whatever the circumstances of your serious or catastrophic injury or the accidental death of your loved one in Pennsylvania, you are urged to talk to an attorney before discussing your accident with other people. Things that you say to family members of another driver or to insurance claims adjusters may hurt your case unnecessarily. Contact Boyle, Autry & Murphy regarding any type of personal injury, accident or fatality such as the following:
Brain and head trauma injuries: A closed head injury can be a legal challenge because of its invisible nature to other people.
Spinal injuries: Along with a spinal cord injury come many medical and practical complications such as infections, chronic pain and a risk of stroke.
Amputations: It is important to have a personal injury attorney who will fight for your right to the most up-to-date, state-of-the-art prosthesis and funds to pay for physical therapy.
Burn injuries: Was your burn injury caused by a car fire or some other type of fire, or did you suffer from a chemical burn or a radiation burn due to medical malpractice?
Nerve damage: Nerve pain is a cruel, invisible consequence of an accidental injury for many people, often continuing for months or years.
Car accidents: There is no substitute for a prompt investigation of a car accident. Contact a personal injury lawyer right away to schedule a free consultation.
Motorcycle accidents: Can your personal injury attorney overcome bias against motorcyclists when pursuing a settlement or verdict?
Public transportation accidents: We represent people injured in SEPTA, Amtrak, Greyhound and other types of public transportation accidents.
Train accidents: Were you injured on a commuter train or while traveling long distance on Amtrak? Our personal injury lawyers can help you recover compensation.
Pedestrian accidents: Our personal injury law firm is skilled at handling complex cases such as hit-and-run pedestrian accidents.
Bicycling accidents: We represent injured commuters as well as recreational bicyclists.
Construction accidents: A construction site is a common scene of serious and catastrophic accidents.
Defective machinery: Was a manufacturer or maintenance service negligent in connection with a machinery-related death at a construction site or in a factory?
Injuries involving children: Children are more likely to need follow-up surgery down the road, after they have grown further, after a serious accident.
Crime victims and human trafficking: Were you seriously injured due to a criminal act?
Police misconduct: Were you injured when police falsely arrested you or ran into your car while on a chase without lights or sirens? Do you have a civil rights violation claim?
Boating, jet skiing, water sports: Boating while intoxicated is the cause of a number of water-related injuries.
Scuba and snorkeling accidents: A scuba training school or rental shop may have been negligent in the accidental death of your family member.
Parachuting, hang gliding, paragliding: Although airborne sports may be inherently dangerous, that does not excuse businesses from exercising safety precautions.
Wrongful death overview: A mother, father, husband, wife, son or daughter may bring a claim against a negligent party whose actions caused a fatal accident.
Death of child: Do not let an insurance claims adjuster tell you that your child's death "isn't worth much" because your child was not a wage earner.
Fatal car accidents: Was there a product liability component to the car accident that killed your family member?
Fatal motorcycle accidents: Whether or not a motorcyclist was wearing a helmet is not necessarily a key factor in a wrongful death claim involving a negligent motorist who failed to give a motorcyclist his or her deserved right of way.
Fatal truck accidents: A truck accident that took the life of your loved one should be thoroughly investigated while the trucker's log is still available.
Aviation accidents: We handle airplane crash cases involving small airplanes and major airlines.
Sports-related deaths: Although you may have some consolation in knowing that your family member died doing something he or she loved to do, your family likely faces real expenses and may be entitled to compensation.
Fatal ATV accidents: Had the ATV involved in the death of your family member been recalled?
Fatal medical malpractice: When a family member dies because of a doctor's error, it is natural to want answers to questions such as, "Why?" and "How?"
Fatal drug reactions: A medication error resulting in death of a loved one may be a result of an anesthesiologist's mistake during surgery.
Fatal workplace accidents: Workers' compensation may not be your only source of financial help after a family member's accidental death on the job.
Fires and explosions: Prompt investigation after a fire or explosion may reveal the true cause of the accident.
Nursing home and elder abuse: Our elder law attorneys are dedicated to thoroughly evaluating and pursuing cases of maltreatment, neglect, abuse and exploitation of the elderly in Pennsylvania.
Nursing home abuse and neglect: Our attorneys are well versed in residents' rights under the federal Nursing Home Reform Act and the Pennsylvania Health Care Facilities Act.
Caregiver embezzlement: A critical factor in many of our clients' caregiver embezzlement cases is our ability to show that the elderly victim has a diminished capacity to grasp difficult concepts, make calculations and difficult decisions, remember details or perform other important mental tasks for themselves.
Elder financial abuse: If you, your elderly parent or someone else you care about has been exploited in a business transaction or taken advantage of by a trusted personal acquaintance, we encourage you to contact an experienced attorney capable of assessing what has happened and taking action to ensure the abuse stops.
Falls and preventable injuries: While there are many potential circumstances that can lead to a fall or other injury-causing accident, it seems reasonable to believe that safety precautions specific to residents' needs will be taken to prevent all but the most unusual events.
Malnutrition, dehydration, bedsores: Malnutrition makes a person much more susceptible to a wide range of serious health problems ranging from infections and pneumonia to bone fractures.
Physical and sexual abuse: Our attorneys and the investigators we employ are highly qualified to get to the truth in a case of abuse and negligent elder care.
Nursing home investigations: If you have reason to be concerned about what is really going on inside a nursing home or other care facility, we encourage you to contact us today at the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania area law firm of Boyle, Autry & Murphy.
Medical malpractice: When failure to apply accepted standards in the medical profession results in injury or death, you have the right to make a claim against the negligent healthcare provider. Our practice includes military medical malpractice claims.
Medication errors: Who was responsible in the accidental overdose of your loved one: a prescribing physician, a pharmacist or a drug manufacturer?
Hospital liability: Were hospital administrators negligent in the surgery-related injury or fatality of your loved one?
