Serious Personal Injury Cases We’re Known For
No matter what happened, we’re here to fight for you and provide the representation and support you need to pursue justice. We represent personal injury victims in Philadelphia in a wide array of matters, including the following:
Auto Accident Cases
Auto accidents are one of the most common causes of serious injuries in Philadelphia, and they often involve more than one type of vehicle or contributing factor. Whether your case involves a truck, motorcycle, or rideshare vehicle, our car accident attorneys know how to investigate to determine what happened and identify all the responsible parties.
These cases can quickly become complex, especially when they involve multiple insurance policies and liability is contested. Our team focuses on gathering the right evidence and using it to support your claim and fight for the compensation you need to move forward.
Our results show how that approach has made a difference for our clients:
- $10 Million recovery for a local first responder injured in a truck collision
- $2.9 Million secured for a motorcycle accident client with a traumatic brain injury
- $800,000 obtained for a retired surgeon struck by a vehicle while walking
Traumatic Brain Injury Claims
Traumatic brain injuries are among the most serious and life-altering injuries a person can sustain. You may be dealing with memory loss, difficulty concentrating, mood changes, or challenges completing everyday tasks that once felt routine.
We understand that these injuries affect more than your physical health. They can impact your independence, your ability to work, and your relationships with the people around you.
These cases require a careful and detailed approach. Our team works with medical professionals and experts to establish the full scope of your injury and how it may affect you in the future. We will fight so that those long-term effects are accounted for, providing you with the support and resources you need moving forward.
Sexual Abuse Cases
Sexual abuse cases require a level of care, discretion, and sensitivity that goes beyond standard personal injury claims. Whether the abuse involves a child or an adult survivor, these cases often result in deep emotional and psychological impacts. You need treatment with compassion and respect.
We understand how difficult it can be to come forward. Our role is to listen, support, and protect you while pursuing accountability in a way that prioritizes your well-being.
In one case, our firm recovered $700,000 for an abuse survivor who experienced grooming and manipulation as a child and suffered lasting trauma. The recovery helped cover the cost of treatment and provided long-term support for her continued care and stability. While no outcome can undo what she endured, it provided meaningful resources for healing and a path forward.
We approach every case with the same commitment, with particular care in cases involving child sexual abuse, standing by our clients and fighting to ensure their story is heard.
How Shared Fault Can Affect Your Personal Injury Case in Pennsylvania
In many personal injury cases, fault is not always clear-cut. Accidents often involve multiple contributing factors, and more than one party may share responsibility for what happened.
Under Pennsylvania’s comparative negligence rule, your ability to recover compensation may depend on your level of fault. If you are found partially responsible, your recovery may be reduced based on your share of the responsibility. Insurance companies often use this rule to argue that you should receive less compensation than you deserve.
These arguments can play a major role during settlement negotiations. Our attorneys work to challenge unfair fault claims, present clear evidence, and protect your right to recover compensation under Pennsylvania law.
How Insurance Companies Handle Philadelphia Injury Claims
Insurance companies are driven to protect their bottom line. After an accident, they often move quickly to control the narrative, limit payouts, and gather information to use against you later.
In Pennsylvania, insurance coverage rules can add another layer of complexity. For example, whether you have limited or full tort coverage can affect your ability to recover certain types of damages. These details can significantly impact your claim if they are not handled correctly.
Early legal representation can shift the balance. When Cordisco & Saile steps in, we handle communication with insurers, protect your rights, and work to ensure you don’t get pressured into accepting less than your case is worth.
Our Personal Injury Lawyers Fight for Maximum Compensation
At Cordisco & Saile LLC, we investigate to understand the full impact of your injury and fight for every dollar you deserve. Our team works to recover compensation that covers your current losses and those you may incur in the future.
Medical Expenses
From emergency care and hospitalization to surgery, physical therapy, and long-term treatment, our priority is ensuring you have the financial means to get the care you need during recovery.
Lost Income and Reduced Earning Capacity
When you’re injured, you may miss work, or you may work less than your normal schedule. In either case, if you miss work or the incident has limited your ability to earn a living in the future, it may be possible to seek economic damages to replace that lost income.
Pain and Suffering
Although it is not quantifiable, physical pain and suffering take a heavy physical and psychological toll. We fight for non-economic compensation to show that what you’re going through matters, even if it doesn’t directly impact your pocketbook.
Wrongful Death Damages
If your loved one has died from their injuries, we can pursue a wrongful death case and pursue compensation on your family’s behalf.
“The life of a claim takes some time. For a section, it would be that we send out letters of representation. So we send out a letter and say, "Hey, we represent this person, leave them alone. If you want to talk to them, you've got to talk to us." The insurance company then typically assigns a claim's handler. Usually, the claims handler will let us know on the outset if they're going to reject your claim for whatever reason. If they accept the claim, we continue with the procedure of sending them medical records and updating them on your care. Usually, at the year mark, we're sending over a demand package. This demand package has your non-economic damages. All of these things come into play, and we present them to the claims handler. And the claims handler ultimately will give us an initial offer. Never accept the first offer.”
Proving Liability in a Philadelphia Personal Injury Case
To recover compensation in a personal injury claim, you must establish four key elements: duty, breach, causation, and damages. Therefore, you must show that another party had a responsibility to act safely, failed to do so, and caused your injuries and damages as a result.
Building a personal injury case requires strong evidence, such as medical records, expert opinions, accident reports, surveillance footage, and witness statements. In a city like Philadelphia, cases can become more complex due to traffic density, the involvement of multiple parties, and the availability of surveillance video from nearby businesses or public areas.
Our attorneys carefully analyze every detail to build a clear and compelling case. We focus on connecting the evidence to your injuries and presenting a strong claim that supports the compensation you deserve.
What to Expect When We Fight for You
With Cordisco & Saile at your side, you gain the support of a legal team that handles every step of your claim. The personal injury claims process can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to help you navigate it from day one.
Here’s what you can expect:
- A free consultation: The first step is to speak with us during a free consultation. Our attorneys will assess all the facts of your case and give you a clear understanding of the legal options you have open to you, all at no cost.
- Investigation and evidence gathering: Once you decide to make a claim, our attorneys move quickly to gather police reports, medical records, photos, video, and witness statements.
- Filing a claim and negotiating: Once we have calculated what you are owed, we submit a formal notice of your claim to the insurance company. From that point, we begin settlement negotiations with the insurance company and any opposing party.
- Filing a lawsuit: If the insurance company won’t settle your claim outside of court, then we will file a lawsuit on your behalf to allow a judge and jury to decide what’s fair.
- Going to trial: While most cases settle before trial, we are fully prepared to present your case in court. Our attorneys handle all the heavy-duty legal work and help you prepare for the courtroom.
From start to finish, our goal is to help you become knowledgeable about your claim and to feel empowered to seek the justice you deserve.
Don't Wait to File Your Claim
If you’ve been hurt in an accident in Philadelphia, you must act fast. In Philadelphia, you usually have just two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit based on the state’s statute of limitations, 42 Pa. C.S. § 5524. Even if you have a strong case, you could lose the right to seek compensation if you wait for too long, so be sure to reach out to our firm as soon as you can following your injury.
Key evidence can disappear, and your memory can fade over time. Cordisco & Saile, LLC helps you understand the deadlines and ensure everything is handled on time, so you don’t miss your window to file.

Real Stories. Real Results.
“I was in a serious accident in 2021. My injuries were new however they mimicked some of the injuries I received in a 2017 accident. After treating with 2 doctors, both who stated my injuries were permanent, I was recommended to Cordisco & Saile. My attorney, Steven DeBonis, was wonderful. He listened and guided me through the process. He worked endlessly to ensure I received a proper settlement. I am so grateful for his effort and kindness. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needed someone to fight for them. The staff was friendly, informative and helpful. They are the best legal team around. Thank you for all you have done.”
I had a slip and fall on Saturday, December 21, 2024. I waited a few days before calling Barbara’s firm and when I decided to reach out, I left a message late at night on the 23rd. First thing Christmas Eve day, Barbara calls me to let me know. She received the message and wanted to chat about my fall. She was extremely professional, detailed the process, and what they would look for in terms of backup documentation, but also instilled a sense of safety and security because she was kind, compassionate and empathetic. She gave the distinct impression that my case would be well researched thoroughly but also be done ethically without having me jump through a whole lot of extra hoops. Five stars, would highly recommend.”
“I had a car accident in January 2019. I called Cordisco and Saile. Michael Saile Jr. worked with me along with his associate Steve, and para legal Michele. They treated me with kindness and respect. I had injuries to my neck and spine. I went through months of physical therapy. The person who t- boned my car had no license, registration or insurance, therefore Mr. Saile had to put together a lawsuit against my own insurance company. I had limited tort insurance but Mr. Saile and his people fought to get me the most money that I was entitled to from my insurance company. It took four years due to the pandemic but they kept at it until they reached the maximum. I cannot thank them enough. Everyone in their office worked very hard for me. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who has had an accident, or any legal work.”
