Personal Injury in Pennsylvania
Accidents happen when we least expect them—and when they do, the consequences can be life-altering. Whether you were hurt in a car crash, slipped and fell on unsafe property, suffered from a medical mistake, or were injured by a dog bite, you may be entitled to compensation under Pennsylvania personal injury law.
At Stern & Cohen, we understand how overwhelming and stressful a serious injury can be. That’s why we’re here to help you take the next step forward. Our team is committed to guiding individuals across Philadelphia and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania toward the legal support they need in the aftermath of a personal injury.
What Is a Personal Injury Case?
A personal injury case arises when someone is harmed due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions of another person or entity. In Pennsylvania, the law allows injury victims to pursue compensation for:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Property damage
Navigating a personal injury claim can be complex. It often involves investigations, expert evaluations, insurance company negotiations, and legal filings. The right team can help protect your rights and pursue the maximum compensation available under the law.
Types of Personal Injury Cases We Can Assist With

Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVAs)
Injured in a car, truck, motorcycle, or rideshare accident? Whether it’s a distracted driver or a multi-vehicle collision, motor vehicle accidents often cause serious injuries like concussions, back injuries, broken bones, and more. We’re here to help guide you toward the right legal support for your recovery.
Learn MoreSlip & Falls
Unsafe conditions on someone else’s property—like wet floors, icy sidewalks, or broken stairs—can lead to serious injuries. Property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain safe premises. If you’ve been hurt in a slip and fall, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
Learn MoreMedical Malpractice
When healthcare professionals make mistakes, the results can be devastating. Surgical errors, misdiagnoses, and medication errors are just a few examples of malpractice that can lead to serious harm. If you believe you were injured due to a medical provider’s negligence, you deserve answers and support.
Learn MoreDog Bites & Animal Attacks
Dog owners have a duty to control their pets. When a dog bite leads to injuries, trauma, or scarring—especially in children—Pennsylvania law may hold the owner liable. If you’ve been bitten or attacked, you have options.
