Do you handle injury cases in Reading?

Yes. Sean Quinlan, Esq. represents injured Pennsylvanians in the Reading area and throughout the Commonwealth from the firm's Camp Hill office. We travel statewide for depositions, mediations and trial.

How much does a Reading personal injury consultation cost?

Consultations are free and confidential. Quinlan Law Group works on a contingency-fee basis — there is no fee unless we recover money for you.

What is the deadline to file an injury lawsuit in Pennsylvania?

Most Pennsylvania personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury, but exceptions and shorter notice periods can apply (especially in cases involving government entities or medical malpractice). Contact us promptly so deadlines are protected.

What types of cases does the firm take in Reading?

We focus on serious injury and wrongful-death matters: truck and commercial-vehicle crashes, wrongful death, motorcycle accidents, medical malpractice, and construction accidents.

Who can file a wrongful death claim in Pennsylvania?

Under Pennsylvania law, the decedent's personal representative (executor or administrator) brings the claim on behalf of the spouse, children, and parents of the deceased. If the personal representative does not file within six months, any beneficiary may file.

How long do I have to file a wrongful death lawsuit in Pennsylvania?

The statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of death. Certain medical malpractice cases may have a discovery rule that extends this deadline — call us so we can analyze your specific case.

Can we file both a wrongful death and a survival action?

Yes — they are separate claims with separate damages. Wrongful death compensates the family for their losses; the survival action compensates the estate for what the decedent suffered between the injury and death. Most Pennsylvania cases plead both.

Is a settlement taxable?

Generally, wrongful death and personal injury settlements are not subject to federal income tax. Punitive damages and interest may be taxable. We always recommend coordinating with a tax professional on the final allocation.

What does it cost to hire a wrongful death attorney?

Nothing up front. We handle Pennsylvania wrongful death cases on a contingency fee — our fee comes out of the recovery, and there is no fee if we do not recover for your family.

Reading Practice Areas

Reading Truck Accident Lawyer
Crashes with tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers, and commercial vehicles cause some of the most catastrophic injuries on Pennsylvania roads. We handle these cases differently because they are different.
Reading Wrongful Death Attorney
When negligence takes a life, Pennsylvania law gives surviving family members the right to recover for what was lost. We pursue these cases with the seriousness they deserve.
Reading Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Motorcycle riders are not the cause of most motorcycle crashes — drivers who fail to look are. Pennsylvania motorcycle cases require an attorney who understands both the bike and the bias.
