DHD Law - Pennsylvania

Have you been seriously injured in an accident due to the fault of another person?  You may be entitled to significant damages under Pennsylvania law.

Drake, Hileman and Davis is a full service law firm with an emphasis on personal injury law. Since 1985, we have served clients throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey, from Philadelphia north to the Poconos and east to the Jersey shore. We provide quality legal services, which are not only result oriented, but performed with compassion toward the needs of those we serve. Our practice warrants both the confidence and recommendation of our clients, as well as the respect of our colleagues. We assist in personal injury legal matters such as truck and car accidents, brain injuries, slip and fall, and wrongful death.

After a traumatic accident, there is simply no substitute for speaking with an experienced injury attorney about your rights. If you have been injured or lost a family member, we encourage you to contact us promptly for a free consultation. From investigating the cause of the accident to dealing with the insurance companies, we will handle every aspect of your case for you, and if you do not receive a fair settlement offer we will fight vigorously to win just compensation at trial.

Too often, a delay in consulting with a qualified attorney can create complications.  A delay in obtaining representation is a bad idea for a number of reasons. For example, an attorney can stop you from making statements that will undermine your case, whether to insurers, police, or the defendant. Additionally, in some cases where a government entity is involved, there is only a six month notice requirement.  Since personal injury claims have a relatively short “time limit” that must be carefully monitored, working with a skilled Pennsylvania personal injury lawyer is crucial.

In Pennsylvania and elsewhere, personal injury claims are subject to a deadline by which they must be filed.  This is known as the statute of limitations.  Personal injury claims in Pennsylvania have a two-year statute of limitations that begins to run from the date of injury (or the date of discovery, in some cases).  Failure to bring the lawsuit in a timely manner can lead to an automatic dismissal of your claims at a later date, so be sure to seek the assistance of an attorney as early as possible.

If you are interested in pursuing a personal injury lawsuit, or if you are simply curious about whether you have an actionable claim and would like to learn more, the attorneys at Drake, Hileman & Davis, PC can help.

Unlike many other firms, we have demonstrated success litigating cases to conclusion.  In other words, we are unafraid of the courtroom and we have brought many claims to trial.  This willingness to litigate is important, not only because we are “ready” for the possibility of trial litigation, but also because it puts us in a superior bargaining position when navigating settlement negotiations.
