Philadelphia Personal Injury Lawyers Practice Area Overview
Serving All Counties in New Jersey and Pennsylvania
For more than a century, the “Edelstein Name” has been embedded in the fabric of Philadelphia litigation. Our partners and senior counsel bring a combined 100 + years of courtroom experience before judges and juries across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and multiple federal districts. From the first intake call through verdict or settlement, every matter is prepared as if it will be tried—because that reputation for readiness drives full-value resolutions.
Our Philadelphia personal injury team has the experience and in-depth knowledge of all aspects of personal injury law and litigation and the necessary resources to deal with the large insurance companies and corporations who will attempt to deny or minimize your injuries and your personal injury claim. No matter how big or small the case, we will aggressively fight for your rights, look out for your best interests, and seek to obtain the maximum compensation you need and deserve to focus on your recovery and move forward with your life. While many personal injury lawsuits are resolved with a settlement before trial, our personal injury trial litigators are willing and able to go the distance and seek justice in the court system if necessary.
Licensed in state and federal courts on both sides of the Delaware River, our firm deploys a data-driven litigation strategy, cutting-edge forensic technology, and the insight of former insurance-defense counsel, all in pursuit of one goal: maximum recovery for the wrongfully injured.
