A personal injury attorney can help you understand your legal rights, analyze the facts of your case, and help you develop a defense strategy. 2. **Contact your Insurance Company:** If you have a commercial liability insurance policy, you should contact your insurance company immediately. The insurance company can provide you with a defense attorney and cover the cost of the claim, subject to the terms of your policy. It is essential to report the claim promptly to avoid breach of contract. 3. **Prepare for Litigation:** If you don't have insurance or your insurance policy doesn't cover the claim, it is imperative to start preparing for litigation. You should gather all relevant evidence, such as incident reports, witness statements, medical records, photographs, and any other pertinent documents that support your defense. 4. **Mediation or Settlement:** Mediation or settlement is another option that may be available to avoid costly litigation. A mediator can help you and the plaintiff reach a mutually acceptable settlement, which may include compensation for damages incurred in the accident. It's essential to seek legal advice as soon as you are informed of the claim. But be mindful that the statute of limitations in Pennsylvania personal injury lawsuits is two years from the date of the incident. It's advisable to be cautious with your statements and do not discuss the case with anyone. Always refer inquiries directed to your attorney, and avoid posting or sharing anything about the case on social media.
