Personal Injury Lawyer Homestead, PA

If you are injured by someone else’s negligent behavior in Homestead or elsewhere throughout Allegheny County, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and financial losses if you pursue a personal injury claim. Personal injury claims often require negotiating a potential settlement with an insurance company or with defense attorneys, and can also sometimes require trying to navigate the complex civil justice system. If you are trying to recover from injuries, especially serious and life-threatening injuries, you may not have the time and energy to fight against insurance companies that are striving to pay you as little money as possible or to meet the filing deadlines and requirements of the courts. If you are feeling the competing pressures of piling medical bills and lost wages due to missed work, it can be very tempting to accept an easy settlement offer from the insurance company and lawyers representing the parties responsible for your injuries. However, if you have the assistance of a skilled personal injury attorney, it is often possible to obtain far more compensation than if you tried to pursue a claim on your own. An experienced personal injury attorney knows what your claim is truly worth and is ready to put in the time and work necessary to get you the maximum compensation possible.

About Homestead, PA

Homestead is a borough in Allegheny County, located across the Monongahela River from the Pittsburgh city line, approximately seven miles southeast from downtown Pittsburgh. The first European settlers arrived in the area in the 1770s. The farmland comprising present-day Homestead was purchased in the 1870s and laid out in lots, with the town being chartered in 1880. Industry quickly arrived in Homestead, with railroad, glass, and steel factories opening in the early 1880s. Homestead was the site of one of the most famous events in labor relations history, the Homestead Strike, which was a violent encounter between locked-out steelworkers and Pinkerton guards who had been hired by the mill’s managers to secure the mill. Homestead’s steel industry entered a period of decline in the 1980s, with the Steel Works being closed in 1986. Homestead began a period of economic revitalization beginning in the early 2000s.
