Personal Injury
When You’ve Been Hurt, We Are Here to Help
Personal injury can take many forms, whether it be a physical injury, property damage, or a tarnished reputation. However, one thing all personal injuries have in common is that they are caused by the carelessness or negligence of another person.
If you are involved in a personal injury case, you know the physical, emotional, and financial toll it can take on you. Our attorneys at Mogel, Speidel, Bobb & Kershner do, too. We seek fair compensation for our clients. Compensation should cover medical expenses, loss of income due to inability to work, pain and suffering, as well as wrongful death if the injury resulted in loss of life. We help you handle the insurance companies, providing you with the legal backing to protect your best interests.

Car Accidents
If you have been involved in a car accident, having an attorney on your side can help mitigate the stress of dealing with the insurance companies, seeking car repairs, and handling medical expenses. We help you seek compensation for these struggles. We will help you negotiate a settlement or will fight for you in court to ensure you receive just compensation for physical, emotional, and financial hardships caused by the accident. You should especially contact an attorney if the accident involved a severe injury, loss of life, or impairment due to drugs or alcohol.
Motorcycle Accidents
Even the safest motorcyclists are at risk of accidents due to the carelessness of other drivers. Pennsylvania motorcycle law holds these negligent drivers accountable, but it can be hard to seek justice on your own, especially on top of the other physical, emotional, and financial tolls associated with an accident. Motorcycle accidents can produce even more severe physical consequences than car accidents. You deserve compensation for pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost income, scarring, disfigurement, and other hardships you may have suffered due to the accident. Our attorneys represent motorcyclists who were injured or killed while on the road, helping obtain justice and fair compensation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do immediately after an accident?
Immediately after an accident, ensure your safety and seek medical attention if needed. Report the accident to the relevant authorities (e.g., police for car accidents). Collect evidence at the scene, such as photographs, witness contact information, and any other relevant details. Notify your insurance company but avoid making any detailed statements until you’ve consulted with a personal injury attorney. It’s crucial to document everything and keep records of medical treatments, expenses, and any communications related to the accident.
How much is my personal injury case worth?
The value of a personal injury case depends on various factors, including the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the impact on your daily life. An experienced personal injury attorney can evaluate the specifics of your case, including medical records and evidence of negligence, to provide an estimate. It’s important to understand that each case is unique, and settlements can vary widely based on circumstances and the strength of the evidence.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
The time limit to file a personal injury claim, known as the statute of limitations, varies by state and the type of claim. It’s crucial to consult with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible to ensure you file your claim within the legal timeframe. Missing the deadline can result in losing your right to seek compensation.
Do I need to hire a personal injury attorney or can I handle the case myself?
Having a personal injury attorney significantly increases your chances of obtaining fair compensation. Attorneys are skilled in negotiating with insurance companies, gathering and presenting evidence, and navigating the complexities of personal injury law. They can ensure your rights are protected and help maximize your settlement.
