We Fight for the Rights of Pennsylvania & New Jersey Injury Victims
Personal injury matters address cases where someone is injured due to another’s negligence. As such, someone else might be liable for that harm. Injury victims can negotiate an insurance settlement or handle their case in civil court to obtaining compensation for their losses.
Shuttleworth Law P.C. has successfully recovered civil awards for the following types of personal injury cases in Philadelphia:
Bicycle Accidents
Bicycle accident injuries can be severe and sometimes permanently life-changing. A Philadelphia bicycle accident lawyer will pursue compensation for your financial, physical, and emotional losses after a negligence-related accident.
Car Accident Injuries
In 2020 alone, Pennsylvania saw more than 60,000 car accidents involving bodily harm or fatalities. A car accident attorney in Philadelphia will investigate your accident’s circumstances and build a strategy that seeks to add value.
Construction Accident Injuries
Construction projects often involve third parties, giving rise to many injury victim claims that require the assistance of a Philadelphia construction accident lawyer. While your employer’s policy provides for medical necessities and disability, it does not cover the other losses and harm suffered.
Medical Malpractice
When providers careless or recklessly cause patients an injury, they are liable for medical malpractice in the State of Pennsylvania. You have every right to hold negligent medical providers accountable for your physical, emotional, and financial losses.
Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Are you suffering from motorcycle accident injuries caused by another’s negligence? Is the insurance company refusing to pay you what your case is worth? If so, we can help.
Pedestrian Accidents
A Philadelphia pedestrian accident lawyer will help you investigate the accident’s circumstances and use our findings to settle your case or win your case at trial. If you do not get the award you deserve, Shuttleworth Law P.C. will take your case to trial if necessary.
Premises Liability
Home and business owners owe you a duty of care if negligent conditions cause you severe accident injuries. We will hold liable parties accountable and protect your legal rights when going after a settlement or verdict you deserve.
Wrongful Death
Pennsylvania’s Wrongful Death Act clearly states which types of compensation you can recover for a wrongful death claim. Unlike some states, Pennsylvania also allows for the recovery of money damages for a survival action and a wrongful death action by the decedent’s estate.
Areas Served: Bridesburg-Kensington-Port Richmond, Center City, Far Northeast Philadelphia, Germantown-Chestnut Hill, Kensington, Near Northeast Philadelphia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Roxborough-Manayunk, South Philadelphia, Southwest Philadelphia, Upper North Philadelphia, West Philadelphia, and all surrounding areas.

Our Laws Protect Your Compensation Rights
Pennsylvania’s civil laws ensure that injury victims receive compensation that is equivalent to their out-of-pocket costs. However, serious injuries are also eligible to receive additional financial damages, which means that the insurance company may try to downplay your injuries.
Our legal team has recovered the following awards on behalf of clients, including:
- Current and future medical bills
- Lost enjoyment of life
- Lost work benefits
- Lost work wages
- Mental anguish
- Physical pain and suffering
- Scarring & disfigurement
- Survival actions damages
- Wrongful death damages
- Other recoverable damages
Legal Mistakes Will Negatively Impact the Outcome of Your Personal Injury Case
A single legal mistake is all it takes to derail your personal injury case. Remember, insurance companies are primarily concerned with the bottom line, so if they can legally use your admissions against you, they will! A Philadelphia personal injury attorney at Shuttleworth law prevents this from happening entirely by acting as a communications buffer.
Pennsylvania Imposes Strict Civil Deadlines on Personal Injury Matters
Numerous deadlines apply to Pennsylvania personal injury matters. Missing this deadline will prevent you from filing an insurance settlement or civil court lawsuit. While the general personal injury statute of limitations is 2 years from the date of your injury or loved one’s death, other notification deadlines may also apply, which are much shorter.
IMPORTANT: Do not let negligent parties get away with paying your less based on a legal technicality. Instead, speak with a Philadelphia personal injury lawyer at Shuttleworth Law P.C. to determine the timeline of your case.
How a Philadelphia Personal Injury Lawyer at Our Firm Will Help
Once you accept a settlement, you cannot ask the insurance company for more money if you discover that other circumstances were involved, or your injuries were much worse than previously thought. Avoid making this common error, and get a second opinion regarding your settlement offer, or hire legal representation from the beginning to protect your case.
