How to read this page

A result is only useful to you if you can tell whether it resembles your situation, so each matter names the court, the type of claim and what actually happened. Where a case is still active we say so rather than implying an outcome.

Two things worth knowing. Most Pennsylvania civil complaints state the demand as either “in excess of $50,000” or “not in excess of $50,000”. That is the line between compulsory arbitration and the major jury program, and it tells you nothing about what a case is worth. And a settlement figure is not what the client received; fees, costs, medical liens and subrogation all come out first.

If you want to know what a case like yours realistically looks like, ask us directly. We will tell you the range and what moves it.

Questions people ask us about this

Do these results mean I will get a similar outcome?

No. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case turns on its own facts, the injuries involved, the available insurance coverage and the county it is filed in.

Why do so many of these say 'demand in excess of $50,000'?

That is the compulsory arbitration threshold in Pennsylvania Courts of Common Pleas. It determines whether a case is heard by an arbitration panel or enters the major jury program. It is not an estimate of what the case is worth and it is not an amount recovered.

What does 'pending' mean on this page?

The complaint has been filed and the matter is active. No settlement or verdict has been reached, and the allegations described are the claims made on the client's behalf, not findings.

Is what I tell you confidential?

Yes. Anything you tell us in seeking legal advice is confidential, whether or not we end up representing you.
