When you’ve been injured in a Bucks County car accident, the at-fault driver’s insurance company begins building their file immediately. Our attorneys level the playing field by investigating the accident scene, preserving critical evidence, identifying every liable party, handling all insurance communication, calculating the full extent of your damages including future medical costs, and negotiating aggressively — taking your case to trial in the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas when necessary.
Pennsylvania’s car accident laws are more complex than most drivers realize. Understanding how they apply to your Bucks County claim is critical to recovering full compensation.
Pennsylvania follows a “choice” no-fault system. Drivers elect either limited tort (which restricts pain-and-suffering claims unless a “serious injury” occurred) or full tort (which preserves all rights to sue). Our attorneys evaluate which coverage applies and identify exceptions — such as a DUI driver or an out-of-state vehicle — that may allow additional recovery even under limited tort.
Pennsylvania applies a modified comparative negligence rule. As long as you were not more than 50% at fault, you can still recover — though your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies aggressively try to inflate your share of blame to cut their payout. We push back hard to protect your recovery.
While the other driver is usually the primary defendant, liability may also extend to a trucking company in a truck accident, a vehicle or parts manufacturer, a government agency responsible for dangerous road conditions, or a bar that over-served an intoxicated driver under Pennsylvania’s dram shop law. In fatal crashes, families may pursue a wrongful death claim.
Our office in Feasterville-Trevose has been serving Bucks County injury victims since the firm was founded more than 34 years ago. Mike Lerner and Ben Steinberg handle cases personally — you work directly with the attorneys, not a rotating staff of paralegals. We know the local courts, the insurance defense firms active in this market, and the judges who decide contested cases in Bucks County Court of Common Pleas. That local familiarity translates into a concrete advantage when negotiating settlements and trying cases.
Unlike large law firms where you’re just a case number, we provide personalized attention to every client. You’ll work directly with our attorneys, not just paralegals or case managers. We take the time to understand your unique situation and develop a strategy tailored to your specific needs.
We handle all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront, and we only collect a fee if we secure compensation for you. We’re confident in our ability to win your case.
Insurance companies maintain full-time defense teams and adjusters whose only job is to close claims for as little as possible. We know every tactic they use because we have been litigating against them in Bucks County for decades. When negotiations stall, we file suit. When insurers refuse reasonable offers, we try cases. Our reputation for following through is why our clients consistently receive more than the initial offers on their claims.
Meet with our attorneys to discuss your case at no cost.
We thoroughly investigate your accident, gather evidence, and consult with experts if needed.
We help coordinate your medical care and ensure all injuries are properly documented.
Our team builds a compelling case demonstrating liability and the full extent of your damages.
We negotiate aggressively with insurance companies for a fair settlement.
If a fair settlement can’t be reached, we’re prepared to take your case to court.
If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident due to a property owner’s negligence, you need skilled legal representation to protect your rights. Insurance companies often minimize these injuries or try to blame the victim, making it difficult to receive fair compensation without proper legal help.
Let our experienced slip and fall attorneys at Lerner Steinberg & Associates fight for the maximum compensation you deserve while you focus on your recovery. We understand the challenges these cases present and have the knowledge, resources, and determination to help you rebuild your life after a serious injury.
Pennsylvania sets a strict deadline for filing car accident lawsuits. Under 42 Pa. C.S. § 5524, car accident victims in Bucks County have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. This applies to the vast majority of car accident cases.
There are narrow exceptions — claims against government entities follow a different notice process, and minors have additional time — but in most cases two years is the hard deadline. Missing it means permanently losing your right to compensation, no matter how clear the other driver's fault may be.
Do not wait. Surveillance footage, witness memories, and physical evidence disappear quickly. The earlier you contact Lerner, Steinberg & Associates, the stronger your case.
We handle all car accident cases on a contingency fee basis — you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. There are no upfront costs and no hourly charges. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery, agreed in writing before we begin. If we do not win, you owe nothing.
Under Pennsylvania's statute of limitations, car accident victims generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline means permanently losing your right to compensation. Act promptly — evidence like surveillance footage and witness memories disappears quickly.
Call 911 and seek medical attention even if injuries seem minor — adrenaline masks pain and some injuries take days to appear. Document the scene with photos, exchange information with all drivers, and get witness contact details. Notify your insurer but provide only basic facts. Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company before speaking with an attorney.
Pennsylvania follows a modified comparative negligence rule. As long as you were not more than 50% at fault, you can still recover — though your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages are $100,000, you recover $80,000. Insurance companies try to inflate your fault to reduce their payout; our attorneys fight back.
Pennsylvania's choice no-fault system lets drivers elect limited tort, which restricts the right to sue for pain and suffering unless the injury is “serious” — death, permanent serious disfigurement, or serious impairment of a body function. Important exceptions apply: if the at-fault driver was uninsured, driving an out-of-state vehicle, or convicted of DUI, limited tort does not apply. We evaluate your specific coverage and identify every avenue for recovery.
Timelines vary based on injury severity, insurer cooperation, and whether litigation is needed. Minor cases with clear liability can settle in months. Serious-injury cases with disputed fault often take one to two years or longer. We move as efficiently as possible while ensuring you receive full and fair compensation — not just the quickest offer.
