Poll: Americans dislike corporate misdeeds over frivolous lawsuits...

In Pennsylvania, the law offices of Jeffrey L. Suher, P.C., are committed to helping those who’ve been confronted by tough financial times. We know that nothing else can sink a family’s financial future like a sudden and serious personal injury. In Pennsylvania, when injuries resulting from car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, unsafe premises, or unsafe products occur, Jeff and his legal team can move swiftly and decisively for the injured party to ensure important rights to financial compensation remain protected.
Since 1992, Jeff has helped the seriously injured and their families in Pittsburgh and the surrounding region obtain justice when injury strikes and insurance companies don’t keep their promises. If you’ve suffered injury at the hands of someone else, or have lost a loved one as a result of another’s negligence, then an insurance company needs to answer for it. Jeff makes sure that happens, and ensures you and your family will receive adequate compensation for:
• Medical Bills
• Lost Wages
• Pain and Suffering
• Other Costs of the Injury
No one who is injured should carry the costly burdens of the injury alone. With healthcare costs climbing at three times the rate of inflation, many insurance companies are determined to skirt those costs and leave the injured and their families in financial ruin. For the injured of the Greater Pittsburgh region, Jeff can make sure that insurance companies don’t get away with bad faith practices. Contact Jeff for help with your injury case today.
Today, the outcome of any serious injury depends on what the insurance company involved decides to do to financially provide for the injured person. When they keep their word, insurance companies can help families through life’s worst experiences. When at their best, insurance companies can ensure that the injured have the financial means to restore their lives, or fully adapt to the life changes wrought by brain injury, spinal cord injury, dismemberment, severe burns and other permanent injuries. When they deliver the level of service and results that they pledge in their commercials, insurance companies are nothing short of heroic.
The problem is that insurance companies too often pick and choose when they want to be heroes, keep their word, and meet the obligations they owe to their customers, or to the innocent people whom their customers have hurt through negligence. When insurance companies decide that it is in their best interests not to come through, when they decide in effect to become villains, Americans have only one option -- the civil justice system and attorneys committed to defending the legal rights of personal injury victims.
Pennsylvania civil laws provide the injured with many options to pursue their rights to compensation against another’s negligence. However, recent activity in Pennsylvania’s state legislature has shown that the rights of the injured are always in peril. For example, in March 2006, Governor Rendall vetoed Senate Bill No. 435, also known as the Corman-Piccola Bill, that would have abolished joint and several liability under Pennsylvania law. Joint and several liability is a principle in civil law which ensures that insurance companies pay for all the costs of injury, and not just certain costs. This principle is vital to ensuring that personal injury victims have a fighting chance at financial recovery.
Without Governor Rendall’s veto, the ability to hold insurance companies accountable for the full costs of injury would have been severely diminished. More legislative actions like this are likely in the future, and the people of Pennsylvania must be vigilant in protecting their rights against the agendas of big insurance, big business and their political allies.
Jeff Suher believes that the injured must always maintain a legal advantage over the insurance industry. He also believes that the law can never allow insurance companies to be in a position to honor their word at their leisure. Rapid response and care in the event of personal disaster is why Americans commit so much of their income to insurance every year. Insurance companies aren’t doing you a favor when they pay your medical bills, provide income for lost wages, or pay for renovations to your home as a result of a new disability you’ve suffered. They’re doing their job. Through aggressive legal services, Jeff makes sure insurance companies keep doing their job for every one of his clients.
If you’ve suffered a serious injury as a result of a car accident, truck accident, a motorcycle accident, unsafe premises, or an unsafe product, Jeff and his legal team are ready to act quickly on your behalf.
