A serious injury can affect far more than your immediate health. Medical care, time away from work, and lasting physical limitations can create problems long after an accident.

    All Your Questions Answered About Injury Law

    What should I do if I am injured as a pedestrian in South Philadelphia?
    Get to a safe location and seek medical attention if you are injured. If possible, document the scene, identify the driver or other parties involved, obtain witness contact information, and report the accident. Photos of the intersection, vehicle, traffic controls, or conditions around the accident may also become useful evidence. A personal injury lawyer can then review how the accident occurred and what insurance coverage or claims may apply.
    Who may be responsible if I am injured on a sidewalk or outside a South Philadelphia property?
    Responsibility for an unsafe sidewalk or property condition depends on where the accident occurred and what caused it. Property owners, businesses, landlords, contractors, government entities, or other parties may potentially have responsibilities related to the condition. Determining liability requires looking at who controlled the area, what hazard existed, and what the responsible parties knew or should have known about it.
    What if I am injured in an Uber, Lyft, or other rideshare accident?

    A rideshare accident can involve different insurance considerations depending on whether you were a passenger, another driver, pedestrian, or cyclist and what the rideshare driver was doing when the collision occurred. Preserve information from the app, driver and vehicle details, insurance information, and documentation of the crash. Leonard Injury Firm also provides guidance about what to do after an accident involving an Uber ride.

    Can video footage help prove what happened in a South Philadelphia accident?
    Yes, when footage exists. Security cameras, doorbell cameras, traffic-related cameras, or video from nearby businesses may help establish how an accident occurred. However, footage may be overwritten or unavailable later. Identifying potential sources of video soon after an accident can therefore be an important part of preserving evidence.
    What if I was injured while visiting a South Philadelphia restaurant, store, or other business?
    A business may potentially be responsible when an unsafe property condition causes an injury, but simply being injured at a business does not automatically establish liability. The circumstances surrounding the hazard, how long it existed, whether the business knew or should have known about it, and what precautions were taken can all matter. Photographs, incident reports, witnesses, and surveillance footage may help establish what occurred.
    Do I have to travel outside Philadelphia to meet with Leonard Injury Firm?

    No. Leonard Injury Firm maintains a Philadelphia office at 1600 Locust Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103, in addition to its Cherry Hill office. South Philadelphia clients can contact the firm’s Philadelphia office at 215-660-3133 to discuss scheduling a consultation.
