Butler
90 Years of Serving Our Neighbors in Western Pennsylvania
Navigating the aftermath of a serious injury can be overwhelming. Right now, you should be focused on getting the medical care you need and taking time off work to heal—not on fighting with the insurance company for a fair settlement. You shouldn’t have to worry about how you’re going to pay for your medical bills and everyday expenses, but, unfortunately, the reality is that many serious injuries result in significant financial hardships for victims and their families.
At Luxenberg Garbett Kelly & George, we recognize the challenges you’re facing, and we want to help. Our Butler personal injury lawyers offer comprehensive legal counsel throughout the entire process, providing you with the communication and information you need to move forward. We truly care about our clients and are proud to have a nearly 100-year-long history of serving individuals, families, and communities throughout Western Pennsylvania.
If you were injured due to the negligent or wrongful conduct of another, contact our firm today at (724) 658-8535 for a free and confidential consultation.

Under Pennsylvania personal injury law, nearly anyone who is injured or otherwise harmed as a result of someone else’s negligent or wrongful conduct, under strict liability rules, or by default has the right to bring a personal injury claim. Specific rules may apply depending on the circumstances—for example, victims of motor vehicle accidents must meet certain requirements if they wish to go outside the no-fault car insurance system and bring a third-party personal injury claim against a negligent motorist—but, in general, you are entitled to compensation if you were harmed by another person or party’s reckless, careless, or unlawful actions or inactions.
Most often, you will need to prove the following things to succeed in your personal injury case:
It is important that you understand your rights after a serious accident or injury. Insurance companies are not on your side; in fact, they will often utilize various tactics to dispute, devalue, or even deny your claim. We strongly recommend that you consult an experienced personal injury attorney, like those at Luxenberg Garbett Kelly & George, before talking to the insurance company. Additionally, you should never sign anything or provide an official statement to an insurance adjuster without talking to a lawyer first.
The “statute of limitations” is the legal term for how long you have to file a personal injury lawsuit. In nearly all cases, if the statute of limitations expires before you file a lawsuit, the court will dismiss your case, and you will be unable to seek compensation for your damages.
In Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations on personal injury cases is two years from the date of injury (or two years from the date of death in wrongful death cases). There are some exceptions to this rule; for example, cases against government officials and entities have different deadlines and filing requirements. Additionally, if the injury was not immediately discovered/discoverable, the two-year deadline may extend from the date on which the injury was discovered or reasonably should have been discovered. However, in most cases, it is imperative that you file your personal injury lawsuit before two years have passed.

Comparative negligence refers to instances in which there is shared fault. For example, while some accidents are entirely the fault of a single person or entity, many result from a combination of actions or inactions by several parties. When this is the case, fault is shared between multiple parties. Under comparative negligence rules, someone who is partly at fault for an incident that led to his or her injury can still be entitled to compensation for his or her resulting damages.
Because Pennsylvania follows a modified comparative negligence rule, however, you cannot file a personal injury claim if you were more at fault than the other party. In other words, if you are found to be more than 50 percent at fault for the incident that led to your injury, you cannot file a claim or recover compensation for your damages.
Additionally, if you are found to share 50 percent or less of the fault for the injury-causing event, while you can still recover compensation, the amount you can recover will be limited. Your recovery will be reduced by the same percentage of fault you are found to have. So, if the insurance adjuster and/or court finds you 25 percent to blame, you can only recover 75 percent of the amount you are seeking in damages. Depending on the severity of your injuries and the extent of your damages, this could equate to thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars that you cannot receive. Because of this, it’s important that you work with a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer who knows how to effectively advocate for you.
