Don't Take Our Word for It

"Auto Injury"
Praveen Kumar, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"I had the pleasure of working with Sarkis as my attorney for an auto injury case, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome. From the very beginning, Sarkis demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for my situation. He guided me through every step of the process, always keeping me informed and ensuring that my best interests were a priority. Sarkis worked diligently to settle my case, and his dedication truly paid off. The settlement exceeded my expectation, and I am grateful for his hard work and persistence. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate attorney who will fight for you, I highly recommend Sarkis. He made a challenging time much easier, and I'm thankful for his support."

"BEST personal injury lawyer!!!"
Cristine, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Unfortunately, this was one of the worst car accidents I have been in. Being a new resident of the state of PA and not knowing the laws, I was terrified of the long road ahead. While I thought the recovery would also be a long road, Sarkis made it extremely easy throughout my entire case. I can't thank you enough for all your hard work, constant communication, positivity, and, most importantly, diligence to ensure success in my case. If you are considering hiring a PI lawyer, please do not think twice. Sarkis is the BEST there is."

"Helped me when no one else would" Nicole, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"I was in a bad accident in August of 2022, which was entirely caused by the negligence of the other driver. I spoke with one rude Lawyer in person and spoke with four additional Lawyers on the phone. No one would take my case or help me, even though the accident wasn't my fault, because I had been in additional accidents. One Lawyer said I would be lucky if I received a settlement of $2,000 and that he didn't want to "waste his time with me". I felt discouraged but I didn't give up. I was serendipitously referred to Attorney Sarkis Dramgotchian. I sustained a concussion in the car accident because my car flipped. I could barely speak coherently to Sarkis when we first spoke on the phone. He listened and was patient with me. He took my case because he actually cares. He's a good person, which is rare in this world. Sarkis is realistic and honest. He answers phone calls and text messages. He's polite. He's respectful and keeps you posted every step of the way while he fights for you. I typically do not like people and he's genuinely likable. I highly recommend this Attorney. You will not be disappointed. He was able to successfully advocate for me and I’m confident that he'll be able to do that for you too. I'm sincerely grateful as wells thankful to him because due to this settlement, I'll be able to continue treatments denied by my insurance. I have hope that I can be whole again amidst a terrible experience in life with the means to get better now because someone with the right expertise fought for me, when I couldn't fight for myself. Words cannot express my full gratitude. To anyone reading this after a car accident--don't give us and give Attorney Sarkis a call to review your case."

What Compensation May Be Available to You?

Every case is different, but injured victims in Philadelphia may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses — emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, physical therapy, and future treatment

  • Lost wages — income already lost and future earning capacity if injuries are long-term

  • Pain and suffering — physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life

  • Property damage — repair or replacement of your vehicle

  • Wrongful death damages — if you lost a family member due to someone else's negligence

 

Pennsylvania is a "choice no-fault" state, which means your own insurance may cover initial medical costs — but you may still have the right to pursue full compensation from the at-fault party. An attorney can evaluate exactly what you're entitled to.

The steps you take in the hours and days after an injury can make or break your claim. Here's what we tell every client:

 

1. Seek medical attention immediately — even if you feel fine. Injuries like whiplash and internal trauma often don't show symptoms right away. A medical record created close to the accident is also critical evidence.

 

2. Call the police and get a report. A police report establishes the official record of what happened. Don't skip this step even for minor injuries.

 

3. Document everything you can. Photos of the scene, damage, road conditions, and your injuries. Names and contact info of witnesses. Screenshot the weather.

 

4. Don't speak with the other driver's insurance company after a car accident. Adjusters are trained to get statements they can use to reduce your payout. You are not required to give one. Refer them to your attorney.

 

5. Contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. Evidence disappears. Witnesses' memories fade. Pennsylvania's statute of limitations gives you two years to file — but the sooner you act, the stronger your case.

Frequently Asked Questions About Philadelphia Car Accident Claims

How long do I have to file a claim in Pennsylvania?

In most cases, Pennsylvania's statute of limitations gives you two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit. Missing this deadline typically means losing your right to compensation — don't wait.

 

What if I was partially at fault?

Pennsylvania follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover compensation as long as you were less than 51% at fault, though your award may be reduced by your percentage of fault.

 

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in Philadelphia?

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis — meaning we only get paid if we recover money for you. There are no hourly fees and no out-of-pocket costs.
