Berger and Green: Farrell Car Accident Attorneys
At Berger and Green, our team of car accident attorneys fights to get justice and compensation for victims hurt in crashes to the extent allowed by Pennsylvania law. With more than 40 years of experience, attorney Laurence B. Green leads a legal team that includes Mark E. Milsop, C. William Kenny, and Marissa K. Kohl.
Together, they work to secure significant settlements and verdicts for clients hurt by negligent drivers. We do not believe that accident victims should have to pay for their medical care, time away from work, and other expenses when they did not cause the accident. Instead, we believe getting justice involves holding the at-fault driver legally responsible for these damages.
At Berger and Green, we provide free case evaluations and work based on contingency. We charge no upfront fees; you will only pay attorney fees for a case we win. If we do not secure a settlement or verdict for you, we do not charge you.
40+ years of experience from strong, knowledgeable, compassionate attorneys.
Start A Free EvaluationUnderstanding Negligence and Liability in Farrell Car Accident Cases
Most car accident claims or lawsuits center on negligence. A negligent driver generally violates a traffic law, causes a crash, and leaves the victim suffering injuries. To recover compensation in these cases, we need to present evidence of fault and liability.
Our team knows how to show that negligence occurred and that the accused party is legally liable for a client’s injuries. We use these strategies to seek compensation for our clients when their insurance allows them to pursue a fault-based claim.
Under Pennsylvania’s choice no-fault insurance statute, 75 Pa. C.S.A. § 1705, drivers must choose one of two options when they purchase auto liability insurance. The choices are:
- Full Tort: The policyholder can pursue fault-based claims and lawsuits when another driver causes their Farrell crash and injuries without meeting any additional criteria.
- Limited Tort: The policyholder cannot sue the at-fault driver unless they meet specific criteria first, most commonly when they suffer serious injuries in the crash.
In many cases, our attorneys find that even crash victims who opted for a limited tort policy can pursue fault-based damages after a Farrell traffic collision. We help them seek and recover compensation based on the facts of their case.
This generally requires us to investigate, support, and file a car insurance accident claim or a personal injury lawsuit. Our attorneys know how these processes work and handle all aspects of legal cases for our clients. If we represent you, you can focus on your health and physical recovery while we take care of the rest.
We know you’re hurting. We can help. Free case evaluations, home and hospital visits.

In a car accident case, justice comes from recovering compensation for the expenses, losses, and injuries you endured because of the crash. Our Farrell car accident attorneys gather documentation and work with experts to appropriately value our client’s damages before we file their claim or lawsuit.
This ensures we know the fair settlement range of their claim before we begin talking with the insurance company and other representatives about their case. While each case is different, some common types of recoverable damages in car accident cases include:
- Medical bills, current and future
- Related care costs
- Income losses for time away from your job
- Diminished earning capacity for lasting injuries
- Property damages
- Other expenses and losses
- Pain and suffering damages
Our attorneys also represent families who lost a loved one because of their car accident injuries. Under Pennsylvania law, a decedent’s personal representative can seek compensation for the loved ones who experienced significant economic and noneconomic losses because of a Farrell car accident death.

Sometimes, crash victims do not know immediately if they need to sue to recover damages. In many cases, an insurance claim and negotiated settlement is an effective way to get fair compensation without involving the local courts. In fact, most cases settle without ever going to trial.
When we must sue on a client’s behalf, we generally have up to two years from their accident date to get started. This is the state’s statute of limitations on personal injury cases, set by Pa. C.S.A. § 5524. Our team will protect your right to sue when necessary. We will ensure you meet this deadline as long as we are aware of your case in time to do so.
We can address all the legal hurdles that may be keeping you from getting a fair settlement.
