Washington PA Personal Injury Lawyers

If you’ve been involved in an accident in Pennsylvania that was caused by the fault of another person or entity, and you were injured as a result, then you may have the right to sue and recover damages from the defendant pursuant to Pennsylvania law. Contacting our dedicated Washington PA personal injury lawyers is of the utmost importance.

Injury lawsuits may appear to be straightforward on the surface, but oftentimes, an examination of the underlying legal issues reveals a more complicated web of concerns. For example, if you are injured in a truck accident, you may believe that litigation will involve a basic injury claim against the negligent truck driver. After further investigation of the facts, however, it turns out that the driver was working for a trucking company at the time of the accident. As such, you may have a claim against the trucking company on the basis of vicarious liability principles, or perhaps even negligent hiring/supervision.

As personal injury litigation can be rather complicated, it’s important to work with an experienced team of attorneys that are well-equipped to handle the dynamic nature of such litigation.

About the Washington, Pennsylvania Area

Washington is a city within Washington County, in Southwestern Pennsylvania, easily accessible from the Pittsburgh metro area. Washington therefore has a surprising number of commuters coming-and-going through the area, exposing many to a heightened risk of injury as a result.

Washington, PA has a history that — like many Pennsylvania towns — goes back to the mid-1700s. The city (and county) were named after George Washington, and the city itself played host to the Whiskey Rebellion of 1791, one of the first citizen revolutions in the newly-formed United States. Washington eventually became a booming industrial hub, and it continues to serve an important role in the region.
