33 damages often outweigh the immediate medical bills. Long-term physical therapy, future surgeries, home modifications, in-home care, and reduced earning capacity all need to be calculated and proven. We work with treating physicians and life care planners to project those future costs accurately. The insurer must pay for what your injury will cost over its full duration, not just what has been billed so far.
Insurance companies are businesses. Their goal is to close claims for as little money as possible. After a slip and fall, expect a quick call from an adjuster offering to settle for a small amount before you even know the full extent of your injuries. That first offer is almost always a fraction of fair value. Do not accept it without legal advice.
Adjusters also use recorded 3statements and social media surveillance to build a defense. They may ask seemingly friendly questions that are actually designed to lock you into a story that hurts your case later. They also scan public posts looking for photos or videos that contradict your reported injuries. We handle every communication with the insurer so these tactics cannot derail your claim.
In addition, insurers sometimes delay processing in hopes that injured victims will give up and accept less. We do not let delay become a weapon. We push the claim forward on a steady schedule, and we file suit when an insurer refuses to engage in good faith.

Pennsylvania follows modified comparative negligence. You can recover damages as long as your share of fault is not more than 50 percent. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. We push back on careless arguments with evidence.

Nothing up front. We handle every injury case on a contingency basis, which means our fee comes only out of the recovery we win for you. If we do not recover anything, you do not owe a fee. The initial consultation is also always free.
Timelines vary widely. A clear-liability case with moderate injuries may settle in a few months once medical treatment is complete. A disputed case or one involving serious injuries may take a year or longer, especially if it has to go through litigation. We push for the fastest fair result, never the fastest result.
Property owners count on you giving up. We do not let that happen. Call Flager Law at (215) 953-5200 for a free case evaluation. No fee unless we win.
