Personal injury matters are frightening occurrences often leaving injured clients unable to work and with unexpected medical bills. Harold Semanoff takes the time to listen to clients and develop a sense of their needs, hopes and concerns.

Mr. Semanoff, along with veteran investigators and experts, engages in aggressive fact-finding in evaluating cases and preparing them for trial.

Experience with complex issues, exhaustive attention to detail, and access to a network of resources and experts place our firm in an excellent position to serve and protect the interests of our clients.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice litigation is extremely complex and labor intensive. It involves the use of highly skilled experts and requires a significant commitment of both time and financial resources on the part of our law firm.

Not all unexpected medical results rise to the level of medical malpractice and, for that reason, great care is taken in the initial fact-finding process. Medical records are always meticulously reviewed prior to deciding whether to accept a potential medical malpractice case.

The firm has a well-earned reputation for effectiveness and professionalism with regard to medical malpractice cases.

Automobile Accidents

Automobile and motorcycle accidents account for a significant number of personal injuries. At Semanoff Ormsby Greenberg & Torchia, LLC, we strive to coordinate all aspects of our clients’ case by monitoring medical care, seeing that our clients’ vehicle is quickly repaired, and that medical bills and lost wages are paid.

Of even greater importance, however, is our commitment to aggressively resolving our clients’ claims for the pain and suffering caused by the negligence of others.

Product Liability

Many of the products we use as consumers today have warning labels, signs or safety features that are a direct consequence of product liability litigation. When a dangerous or defective product injures one of our clients, the product is thoroughly evaluated by an expert to determine whether its design was proper, whether a defect in the product existed, and whether appropriate warning labels, signs or devices were employed by the manufacturer.

Product liability cases, like medical malpractice cases, involve the use of technical experts and, therefore, require a commitment on the part of the firm to invest its time and financial resources to protect our clients’ rights.

Workers’ Compensation

Before the enactment of the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act, employees had to sue their employers and prove negligence before receiving any benefits for work-related injuries. Under that system, the employee had no means of income and no insurance coverage for medical expenses until the case was resolved. This often left the worker’s family with no income.

The Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act corrected that fundamental inequity by requiring employers to maintain workers’ compensation insurance covering their employees. The act provides liberal benefits to workers upon proof that injury occurred in the course of employment and that the injury resulted in disability.

Over the years, Mr. Semanoff has handled a variety of compensation cases, successfully protecting the rights of our clients and their financial security. Even workers already receiving benefits, without challenge, are encouraged to consult with us so we can educate them on the workers’ compensation process and ease their anxiety by responding to their questions.
