On July 22, 2025, two prominent Pennsylvania law firms, The Weitz Firm, LLC and Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., announced significant expansions of their car accident legal services across multiple regions of the state, responding to a surge in vehicular collisions and the growing need for expert legal representation for victims.
The Weitz Firm, headquartered in Philadelphia, has broadened its dedicated car accident representation to include residents of South Philadelphia and Bella Vista. This move comes amid rising traffic congestion and increasing incidents of collisions in these dense urban neighborhoods. The firm offers free consultations to injured motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians, providing a thorough review of cases involving everything from property damage to bodily harm and wrongful death.
The firm’s expanded services cover a broad spectrum of motor vehicle accident cases, including head-on collisions, rear-end crashes, pedestrian accidents, T-bone impacts, motorcycle crashes, slip and fall incidents, and hit-and-run cases. Victims often suffer severe injuries such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, soft tissue injuries, and internal trauma, which can require extensive medical care and long-term rehabilitation. According to The Weitz Firm, “Victims navigating traffic accidents in busy urban neighborhoods like South Philadelphia and Bella Vista face significant obstacles in obtaining the necessary legal representation to pursue fair compensation.”
Legal claims managed by The Weitz Firm commonly include compensation for lost wages, medical bills, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, and loss of future earnings. In fatal accident cases, the firm also handles wrongful death lawsuits aimed at securing fair settlements for grieving families. The firm operates on a contingency fee basis, ensuring clients pay no legal fees unless a favorable result is obtained.
Philadelphia’s unique urban infrastructure, characterized by dense residential areas and heavy traffic, often leads to collisions caused by speeding, illegal turns, failure to yield, and intoxicated driving. The Weitz Firm’s legal team is well-versed in Pennsylvania’s traffic laws, accident scene investigation procedures, and insurance regulations, using accident reports, medical records, physical evidence, and expert statements to build strong cases. Their services extend to issues involving faulty traffic signals, hazardous road conditions, defective vehicle parts, insurance policy disputes, and pursuing punitive damages when gross negligence is involved.
Meanwhile, Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., also based in Philadelphia, has simultaneously expanded its car accident legal services across several other Pennsylvania regions, including Erie, Millcreek, Harrisburg, and Camp Hill. This expansion addresses a notable increase in automobile crashes throughout the state, ranging from minor fender-benders to catastrophic highway wrecks.
In Erie and Millcreek, communities strained by rising numbers of car accident claims—such as rear-end collisions, T-bone impacts, multi-vehicle pileups, and intersection crashes—are seeing victims grappling with serious injuries like spinal cord trauma, traumatic brain injury, neck and back damage, and broken bones. Lowenthal & Abrams provides no-cost initial consultations to review crash documentation, insurance policies, medical records, and police reports, helping victims navigate the complexities of collision claims.
The firm emphasizes the importance of timely legal action, particularly given Pennsylvania’s two-year statute of limitations on filing collision claims. Their attorneys handle negotiations with insurance companies, which often attempt to minimize settlements or deny valid claims. Lowenthal & Abrams also prepares cases for trial when necessary, ensuring victims can pursue full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, vehicle damage, pain, suffering, and diminished quality of life.
In the Harrisburg and Camp Hill areas, the firm continues its comprehensive approach, representing motorists, pedestrians, rideshare passengers, and commercial vehicle victims amid increasing traffic congestion and crash incidents. Collisions in these metropolitan areas include rear-end crashes, intersection collisions, sideswipes, multi-vehicle pileups, and pedestrian-involved wrecks, frequently resulting in severe injuries such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, fractures, and internal organ trauma.
Lowenthal & Abrams’ legal strategy involves thorough investigation and evidence gathering, including accident reports, witness statements, vehicle damage analysis, and expert consultations. The firm also addresses complex liability issues involving rideshare services, commercial trucks, and defective vehicles. In cases where reckless driving, intoxication, or gross negligence contribute to collisions, they pursue punitive damages to hold responsible parties accountable.
The firm recognizes the emotional and financial toll car accidents impose, noting that victims often endure anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and loss of enjoyment of life alongside physical injuries. Legal claims include both economic damages—such as medical expenses, lost income, and property damage—and non-economic damages for pain and suffering and emotional distress.
Both firms operate on a contingency-fee basis, which removes upfront financial barriers and allows accident victims to focus on recovery while their legal teams work diligently to secure just compensation. The Weitz Firm and Lowenthal & Abrams provide vital legal support tailored to the severity and complexity of each case, from minor collisions to catastrophic accidents resulting in permanent disability or death.
As traffic incidents continue to rise across Pennsylvania, these law firms stand out as committed advocates for accident victims. Their expansions reflect a shared mission to navigate the intricacies of personal injury law, confront insurance company resistance, and hold negligent parties accountable through aggressive advocacy, settlement negotiation, and, when needed, trial litigation.
For residents of South Philadelphia and Bella Vista, The Weitz Firm offers a trusted resource for car accident legal representation, emphasizing personalized attention and a strong track record in auto accident lawsuits. Meanwhile, Lowenthal & Abrams’ growth into Erie, Millcreek, Harrisburg, and Camp Hill positions the firm as a statewide leader in personal injury law, equipped to handle the diverse challenges posed by urban and suburban traffic collisions.
Both firms encourage individuals affected by motor vehicle accidents to seek legal advice promptly to protect their rights and maximize compensation. Free consultations provide an accessible entry point for victims to understand their options and begin the claims process.
In a landscape of increasing road hazards, distracted driving, and complex liability issues, The Weitz Firm and Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. exemplify how dedicated legal advocacy can make a critical difference in the lives of those impacted by car accidents across Pennsylvania.
