The first X-ray said my client did NOT have a fracture.
But that wasn't the end of the story -
My client was shopping at a supermarket when he stepped into a hole in the floor that had been covered with a carpet.
He fell hard.
He suffered severe back pain, and paramedics had to immobilize him, place him on a stretcher, and rush him to the emergency room.
At the hospital, an initial X-ray was taken.
It appeared normal.
The defense later relied on that X-ray.
But we weren't satisfied with that answer.
After my client moved around and put weight on his back, another X-ray was taken.
This time, it revealed a significant spinal fracture.
He ultimately required major back surgery and faced a long and difficult recovery.
So why didn't the first X-ray show the fracture?
Our medical expert explained that the fracture became apparent after weight was placed on the injured area.
That medical evidence became critical to the case.
We fought to make sure the defense understood the full extent of what happened to our client.
And ultimately, the case resulted in a:
$2.5 MILLION SETTLEMENT.
I'm Lewis Small, and I've been representing injured people for more than 40 years.

Dog bites can lead to nerve damage, permanent scarring, and, particularly for children, a lifelong fear of dogs. Even without scarring, the psychological impact of a dog bite can be significant. Once properly documented, post-traumatic stress as well as scarring are separate categories of damages.

Every case is unique, but let’s consider an example. A bite that requires stitches and leaves visible
scarring, including future scar treatment and pain and suffering, has ranged from $20,000 to $80,000
in claims I’ve handled. However, many cases fall outside this range and can be worth even more depending on the severity of the injury. For instance, a scar on the face that is readily visible is worth more than a scar that is not. Additionally, damages are available for loss of wages. In one case I handled, a jeweler was bitten on his arm, causing nerve damage. As a result, he was unable to create the jewelry pieces he had previously created, and recovered several thousand dollars for loss of income. Expert reports from a plastic surgeon and other doctors are crucial to maximizing your recovery.

Animal control reports and a dog’s history become increasingly difficult to obtain over time. A free consultation provides a comprehensive overview of what to document and how to do so efficiently. I’m Lewis small, a personal injury attorney. If you’ve been injured in Philadelphia or the surrounding areas call me at 215-803-5157 for a free consultation and find out how much your accident might be worth.

If you're injured in an accident and the defendant's insurance company offers you a check for around $1,000 to settle your claim, be cautious. Don't accept it. That check isn't a gift, it's a scam. The insurance company calculates the amount that they think will make you drop the case before you discover its true value. By accepting their check, you relinquish your right to any further compensation for your injuries, regardless of their severity.
Whiplash is often dismissed as a 'minor' injury, but soft tissue damage can mean months of physical therapy, missed work, and pain that doesn't show up on an X-ray. Insurance adjusters exploit this lack of knowledge by presenting a low ball offer that only covers the initial ER visit. However, your injury may require ongoing physical therapy, which could include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Depending on your injuries the amount you recover could range from $15,000 to $40,000 all tax free.
Every case is unique, and during treatment, you might discover that your whiplash is more serious than you initially thought. You could have more severe injuries, like a herniated disc or persistant headaches. In such cases, your claim's value could significantly increase up to around $150,000 if the injury involves disc damage, intensive physical therapy, and injections.
With over 40 years of experience I've secured multimillion-dollar verdicts for people who were initially told their cases weren't worth much. Before you sign anything or cash that first check, please call me at 215-803-5157. The consultation is free, and it costs you nothing to find out what you're truly entitled to.

Don't Make This Costly Auto Insurance Mistake!

Many auto insurance policies include only $5,000 in Personal Injury Protection (Pip) or Medical Payments coverage. While that may sound like enough, it often isn't.

After a serious accident, medical bills can easily exceed $5,000. Once those benefits are exhausted, you may have to use money from your personal injury settlement to pay outstanding medical bills or liens.

Because compensation for physical injuries in an auto accident is generally **not subject to federal income tax**, every dollar of your settlement used to pay medical bills is a dollar of tax-free compensation you no longer have available for your pain, suffering, lost quality of life, and other damages.

For many drivers, increasing your Pip or Medical Payments coverage from **$5,000 to at least $10,000** is relatively inexpensive and can provide valuable financial protection if you're injured.

Review your policy today—you may find that a small increase in coverage could make a significant difference after an accident.

If you drive in Philadelphia or the surrounding counties, stop scrolling right now.

If you get into a car accident on I-95, the Blue Route, or Roosevelt Blvd, your insurance company is secretly hoping you make one massive mistake.

They want you to look at your policy, see the words "Limited Tort," and assume you can’t get paid for your pain, suffering, and missed work. They want you to handle it alone.

But here is what they aren’t telling you. Pennsylvania law has massive exceptions to limited tort. If the other driver was from out of state, driving drunk, or if your injuries meet the legal threshold—that limit disappears.

But you won't beat them by playing by their rules. I’m Lewis Small and I’ve been fighting insurance companies right here in Philly for over 40 years.

If you've been in a car accident here's something nobody tells you.

The insurance company may sound friendly when they call.

They'll ask how you're feeling.
They'll ask what happened.
They may even offer you money right away.

But their job isn't to help you.

Their job is to close your claim for as little as possible.

I've seen people accept quick settlements and later discover they needed months of treatment, missed work, or had injuries that got worse over time.

Before you agree to anything, make sure you understand your rights.
