Galfand Berger, LLP

Over 70 Years of Helping Injured People
What happens when you or a loved one is injured at work, hurt in a car accident, suffer a medical mishap or harmed by a defective product? Injuries from these accidents have life-altering consequences. Your health, your job, your family, and your security are all at risk.

For years, your rights have been under attack by big business and insurance companies. They have used slick campaigns in an effort to convince the public that there are frivolous lawsuits, runaway juries, and a civil justice system in need of reform.

And, too many people have bought into this corporate spin. All the while, your rights as an accident victim, worker and patient slowly erode. You need a law firm for some of life’s toughest challenges. Galfand Berger helps injured people. We have been doing it since 1947.

It is our firm’s privilege to help restore dignity and security to people hurt because of automobile accidents, defective products, unsafe equipment and machinery, work place and construction accidents, workers’ compensation claims, medical malpractice and any other serious personal injuries or accidents.

Galfand Berger attorneys are relentless advocates for our clients. Every case is unique, and the outcome always depends upon the particular circumstances of the incident, that is why our firm will leave no stone unturned as we fight tirelessly on your behalf.

We approach each case with the integrity, skill, and compassion our clients deserve and it shows in our results. Galfand Berger has obtained more than a quarter of a billion dollars in settlements in the past decade alone. Here are some of the cases we have handled as we take on large corporations, insurance carriers and other negligent parties

When to Seek Legal Help from Us
Accident victims are not sure if they need legal advice. For example, employees injured on the job are usually aware that they can file for Workers’ Compensation benefits. However, if someone other than your employer is responsible for your injury, you may be able to sue that “third party.” Examples of a possible third party include a manufacturer of unsafe equipment, a seller of dangerous chemicals, a non-employee car or truck driver, or a contractor or subcontractor working on your employer’s premises. Your third party claim allows you to recover damages not available in Workers’ Compensation.

In other cases, car accident victims think they must take what the insurance company offers them. The confusion of insurance policies and coverages has made automobile accidents law a full time study. Accident victims need to speak with a lawyer. An experienced car accident lawyer knows how to evaluate accident cases, protect a victim’s legal rights, and negotiate full compensation from insurance companies.

In all of these circumstances, accident victims may be walking away with much less than they deserve. Injured people or their families should never hesitate to seek legal help from experienced, trusted counsel when any of the following circumstances occur:

Work accidents – particularly if they were caused by defective equipment or the negligence of a third-party

Philadelphia Medical Malpractice lawyers – Injury due to medical error – it is a fact of life that healthcare professionals make mistakes

Injury due to defective products or drugs – each year, defective or unsafe products injure thousands of people

Personal injury accidents – motor vehicle, slip and fall, or any type of accident resulting in injury or death
