Frequently Asked Questions

The initial case review is always free and confidential, with no obligation to hire us. Contingency fees are available in personal injury, employment and insurance matters. Other practice groups are billed differently, so we walk you through exactly how fees would work for your case before you decide anything.

We're headquartered in Center City Philadelphia and represent clients throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Florida.

We aim to respond to every free case review request within one business day.

As soon as we take your case, you're matched with a lead attorney and dedicated legal team. We manage every detail from start to finish, keeping you seamlessly in the loop and providing clear answers whenever you need them.

It depends on the facts, the court, and how the other side responds, so we won't quote you a timeline we can't stand behind. Straightforward matters can resolve in a matter of months; a disputed claim that has to be litigated can take considerably longer. We tell you what to expect for your specific case at the free review, and we keep you updated as it moves.

Most cases settle without a trial, but we prepare every matter as if it will go in front of a jury, because that preparation is what gives a settlement negotiation its weight. If going to trial is the right call for your case, we'll tell you honestly, and the decision to accept an offer is always yours.

Yes. There is no cost and no obligation to hire us for an initial case review, and everything you share is confidential.

Take photos of the scene and all vehicles, get the other driver's insurance and contact information along with any witnesses', call the police to file a report, and seek medical attention even if you feel fine. Some injuries don't present symptoms for days.

We handle car accident cases on a contingency basis. We front the costs of building your case and only get paid if we recover for you.

As soon as possible. Insurance companies begin working to minimize claims immediately, and evidence like skid marks, traffic camera footage, and witness memories degrade quickly.

Full tort preserves your right to sue for pain and suffering after most crashes, limited tort restricts that right to cases involving serious injury. Which option you chose on your policy can significantly affect your claim, and it's worth reviewing your policy before assuming you know which you have.

Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage on your own policy can step in to cover the gap when the at-fault driver doesn't carry enough insurance to cover your losses. We review your policy to identify every source of recovery available.

Rideshare accidents involve layered insurance coverage that depends on whether the driver was logged into the app, waiting for a match, or actively transporting a passenger at the time of the crash. We sort through that coverage to identify the right claim to pursue.

We document your actual lost income during recovery, and where an injury affects your long-term earning capacity, we work with the appropriate experts to value that loss as part of your claim.

A car accident attorney is an attorney that specializes in handling cases where people were injured in a motor vehicle accident

It is always best to contact a car accident attorney as soon as possible after your collision. There is a two-year statute of limitations in Pennsylvania and in New Jersey , meaning that you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. But it is best to get started as soon as you can. A lawyer will be able to provide legal expertise and guidance on how to proceed and can help ensure you are able to afford medical treatment.

It is important that your car accident attorney has experience in the field in order to ensure that you get the most money for your case. Inexperience and lack of resources can mean that your case is not handled properly. At Freundlich & Littman, LLC we are experienced car accident attorneys who know how to make sure you get paid the most under the terms of your policy and the policy of the person(s) who caused the accident. We will go after compensation for lost wages, out pocket costs, such as medical expenses, and fight to get you properly compensated for your pain and suffering.

You should get an attorney involved as soon as possible. This is because insurance companies, even your own insurance company, are looking to minimize the amount that they will have to pay out on your claim. When you give statements to the insurance companies, sometimes they will take what you say out of context. It is important to have an attorney advising you who knows what your legal rights are.

If you or a loved one was injured in an auto accident you should contact an attorney to discover if you have a case and are entitled to compensation.
