Areas Of Practice

One of the primary focuses of our firm is medical malpractice, particularly those cases involving birth injuries and misdiagnosis. Some of our attorneys also focus on construction accidents, as well as accidents involving commercial trucks.

But that’s not all. We also represent injured clients from a wide variety of circumstances and with a broad spectrum of injuries.

Personal Injuries

In general, personal injuries are injuries that are caused by someone else. We represent clients who have suffered personal injuries in all types of contexts, from injuries on the road to injuries in health care settings.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Motor vehicle accidents cause a large percentage of the personal injuries experienced in Pennsylvania. Our car accident attorneys work diligently to hold insurance companies and negligent drivers responsible for the compensation they owe, even if it means going to trial. We work with our clients to determine which insurance companies should pay and handle all claims-related paperwork involved.

Brain Injuries

Brain injuries can lead to long-term and permanent debilitation as well as extensive and years-long medical treatment and care. For this reason, Wapner Newman brain injury lawyers work vigorously to recover the maximum compensation to help ensure that our clients have the money they need for the future.

Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries require special medical treatment and care. Our spinal cord injury lawyers take great care in making sure that our clients with such injuries receive the payouts that will help them cover their medical costs and loss of quality of life.

Premises Liability

Premises liability refers to liabilities stemming from dangerous properties. All property owners and tenants have the duty to ensure that their properties are free of unreasonable hazards that might harm legitimate guests. Failure to do so is a common cause of accidents, from slip and fall accidents and falls from high places to contamination events.

At Wapner Newman, we hold property owners liable for the injuries their negligence causes, whether they are the owner of a retail store or a homeowner.

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Nursing home abuse and neglect are frightening occurrences that lead to harm and death. Sadly, abuse and neglect occur far too often in Pennsylvania. But victims and their families have recourse.

Our nursing home abuse and neglect attorneys can help protect nursing home residents and help them access compensation for the harm done to them. Please call immediately if you suspect that someone is abusing or neglecting your loved one.

Workers’ Compensation

Workers’ compensation insurance handles many work injury claims. We help workers maximize their compensation and overcome obstacles in the claim process. We also identify third parties who are potentially liable for workplace injuries. Doing so allows us to file a third-party lawsuit on your behalf and seek damages not available in workers’ compensation claims.

Sexual Abuse

While the state gets justice for sexual abuse victims through criminal prosecutions, Wapner Newman sexual abuse attorneys get victims justice through compensation. We make sure our clients who have suffered sexual abuse at the hands of another get access to the full suite of compensation benefits available to them. Even when the state does not prosecute or fails to get a conviction, you can count on our team to faithfully represent you in a civil suit for damages.

Civil Rights Claims

Our civil rights claims attorneys represent individuals who have experienced violations of their civil rights. These violations typically occur when the police or corrections officers overstep their boundaries when interacting with the public or prisoners. Violations may include:

  • False arrest
  • Illegal detention
  • Abuse and brutality
  • Improper use of force
  • Jail neglect.

Although police and corrections are responsible for many of the civil rights violations experienced in the state of Pennsylvania, it is important to know that civil rights violations can occur whenever the government is involved.

Amputation Injury

Amputation injuries typically occur when extreme forces are generated, such as in car accidents and work accidents. They may also occur due to medical malpractice leading to a wrong-site surgery or a failure to diagnose a condition that progresses and leads to an amputation.

Birth Injury

Birth injuries are tragic and often avoidable. At Wapner Newman, we hold medical professionals accountable for their failure to uphold accepted and clear standards of care when these failures result in birth injuries.

Burn Injuries

Burn injuries are especially devastating when they lead to scarring and disfigurement. Victims not only must cope with painful burns but also deal with emotional and psychological trauma from the accident and the scarring.

Our burn injury attorneys make sure that the physical and emotional injuries our burn clients face are compensated as they should be.

Catastrophic Injuries

Catastrophic injuries typically cause significant loss of physical, mental, or cognitive abilities. Victims need access to substantial compensation to cover the extensive losses that typically follow injuries of this nature.

Child Injury

Child injuries are tragic and often life changing. Whether they occur in a traffic accident or a healthcare context, you can count on our child injury attorneys to hold the responsible parties accountable.

Consumer Product Injury

Dangerously defective products and products without proper instructions or warnings cause their fair share of personal injuries. Our team of consumer product lawyers holds product makers and suppliers accountable for the injuries their dangerous products cause.

Dog Bite Injury

Dog owners and handlers are strictly liable for the injuries caused by their pets. The dog bite lawyers on our team make sure that our injured clients receive proper compensation for their injuries.

Elevator Injury

Elevator failures should never happen. Sadly, property owners, elevator manufacturers, and elevator maintenance and repair companies sometimes fail in their duties to ensure that elevators are safe.

Negligent Security

Some properties and events must have security services in place to protect guests and residents. When injuries occur due to negligent security, the property owner, event company,  and security company can be held liable for damages.

Swimming Pool Accidents

Our swimming pool lawyers hold public and private pool owners accountable for damages when they fail to adequately maintain the safety profile of their pool environments.

Wrongful Death

We represent families who have lost loved ones because of the negligence or other unlawful actions of others.

After years of representation, our attorneys have built a solid reputation for taking on tough cases and seeing them through to the end — most notably cases involving catastrophic injuries.
