Areas of Law

Areas of Law Description

- Personal Injury

At the law firm of McCann, Schaible & Wall, our experienced attorneys represent injured plaintiffs and families in a broad range of personal injury and wrongful death claims, including: motor vehicle accidents, premises liability, railroad injuries and FELA claims, medical malpractice, serious injuries and products liability. Whether you have been hurt on the job or seriously injured as a result of negligence, you can rely on our firm to fight aggressively to make sure you are fully compensated for your losses.

- Motor Vehicle Accidents

At McCann, Schaible & Wall, our attorneys represent injury victims and the families of wrongful death victims in a broad range of motor vehicle accident cases, including: car accidents, trucking accidents, motorcycle accidents, gas company vehicle accidents, SEPTA accidents, commercial vehicle accidents and drunk driving accidents. Within 24-48 hours of your accident, the insurance company may send an adjuster to see you or attempt to obtain your recorded statement. They will use your statement against you to devalue your claim. This is why it is so important to seek legal counsel early in order to avoid pitfalls that can damage your case for damages including medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost wages.

- Premises Liability

Our knowledgeable attorneys work closely with our clients, representing injured plaintiffs in personal injury and wrongful death claims stemming from: construction and work site accidents, oil refinery accidents, scaffolding accidents, crane accidents, roof and ladder falls, construction vehicle accidents, natural gas work site accidents and natural gas company vehicle accidents. If you have been injured on someone else's property, there may be more than one source of compensation available to you. If you are an employee, you may have a workers' compensation claim in addition to a third party personal injury claim against the property owner or other negligent party.

- Workers' Compensation

If you were injured at work or have suffered a disability as a result of your job, there are a number of sources you may be able to turn to for benefits, including workers' compensation and Social Security Disability (SSD). You may also have a viable personal injury claim to be made against a negligent third party who is responsible for your injuries. At the law firm of McCann, Schaible & Wall, we have extensive experience handling workers' compensation and related work injury claims throughout Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey. Our attorneys are dedicated to client service and represent each client on a personal level.

- Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA)

If you are a railroad employee who has been injured in a work-related accident, it is important to understand that your claim will be handled differently than a standard workers' compensation claim. As you pursue the benefits you deserve for the damages you have suffered, it is important to consult an experienced attorney. This Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA), put in place in 1908, protects railroad employees, providing them with benefits for past and future wage losses, medical benefits and other statutory benefits. Unlike workers' compensation claims, injured railroad workers are also able to receive damages for past and future pain and suffering.

- Medical Malpractice

Whether you are visiting a doctor in a clinic or being admitted into the hospital, you assume you are going to receive quality medical care from competent medical professionals. While this is usually a safe assumption, many children and adults every year are injured or killed due to medical negligence. We work aggressively to hold medical professionals and hospitals accountable for their negligence, handling medical malpractice claims involving: birth injuries, failure to diagnose, surgical errors and medication errors. Due to the number of deadlines present in the medical malpractice claims process, it is crucial to have us on your case as soon as possible. We work quickly to gather evidence, all relevant documents and testimony from experts in various medical fields.

- Product Liability

We believe that hard work, attention to detail, and aggressive advocacy are the keys to success in products liability cases. We represent clients who have been injured or suffered the wrongful death of a loved one due to: equipment defects and improper maintenance, automotive defects and dangerous and defective drugs or medical devices. We work diligently to make sure negligent parties are held accountable for the damage their unsafe products have caused. We prepare each case for trial in an effort to ensure our clients receive a settlement that meets their short term and long term needs.

- Injuries

We seek to maximize compensation for injured plaintiffs and the family members of those who have been lost to injuries such as: spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, burn injuries and loss of limb/amputation. It is important to begin the investigation after an injury as soon as possible so that all physical evidence, witness statements and relevant documentation can be gathered and safeguarded. We craft compelling cases on behalf of injured plaintiffs, seeking to ensure they will have the necessary resources well into the future to cover the costs of long-term care.

- Whistleblower / False Claims Act

False Claims Acts have proven to be the most effective tool for combating fraud against the government. Since 1986, the federal and state governments have recovered approximately $27 Billion using the False Claims Acts. More than 50% of these astonishing recoveries have come from information provided by whistleblowers. Whistleblowers, in turn, have been paid more than $2 Billion as reward for reporting the fraud on the government. If you believe that you have information about fraud against the federal or state governments, and would like to speak to an attorney about becoming a whistleblower, we would be happy to refer you to an attorney who specializes in representing whistleblowers.
