Pottstown Personal Injury Lawyers

Fighting for the Compensation You Deserve Since 1959

What should you do if you are injured because another person failed to act responsibly? After an accident, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, confused, and unsure of what steps to take next. A serious injury can quickly interfere with your ability to work, care for your family, and keep up with daily routines. At the same time, medical appointments, physical pain, and financial worries can start stacking up fast. For many people, the aftermath of an accident feels like being thrown into a situation they never asked for, with no clear path forward.

You shouldn’t have to navigate that struggle alone. Our personal injury attorneys handle only wrongful injury and death claims: no real estate closings, no business contracts, nothing else. Since 1959, we’ve secured thousands of awards and settlements for injured victims and their families. In a recent three-year period, our attorneys recovered more than 500 awards and settlements, including numerous million-dollar and multi-million-dollar results. We bring that same focus and track record to clients throughout the Montgomery County area.

If you or someone you love has been hurt through no fault of your own, call Liever, Hyman & Potter at (610) 885-1991 for a free consultation. You pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.

What Representation by Liever, Hyman & Potter Actually Looks Like

Hiring a personal injury lawyer isn’t just about choosing someone to handle paperwork or talk to an insurance adjuster. It’s about finding a team that understands what you’re facing and takes your situation seriously. Our four attorneys have devoted virtually their entire careers to wrongful injury and death law, representing more than 115 combined years focused on a single practice area. That depth of undivided experience is uncommon among law firms, and it shapes how every case is handled from the first call to the final resolution.

When you contact us, you deal directly with the attorney assigned to your case: not a secretary, not a paralegal. Every case is carefully reviewed and assigned to a Civil Trial attorney qualified to handle that specific claim. Our firm is recognized within the legal community as “The Lawyers’ Lawyers” because a significant portion of our clients come through referrals from other law firms, satisfied former clients, and community members who know our record. That reputation reflects decades of results, not marketing.

Insurance companies routinely attempt to minimize injury severity or shift blame onto the victim. Our attorneys know those tactics and respond with documented evidence and legal arguments built from more than six decades of practice. When settlement negotiations fail to produce fair compensation, we’re prepared to take the case to trial. That willingness matters, and insurance adjusters know it.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

We handle a wide range of personal injury cases for clients throughout Montgomery County. Each claim is unique, but our focus remains the same: helping injured individuals recover compensation and hold negligent parties accountable for violating the duty of care they owed you.

Car Accidents

A car accident can lead to painful injuries, missed work, and long-term physical limitations. Our attorneys have recovered documented results, including a $3.265 million settlement in a drunk driving wrongful death case and a $3.5 million trucking crash settlement. We represent clients injured in crashes involving distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, rear-end collisions, and other negligent behavior that causes serious harm.

Workplace Injuries & Workers’ Compensation

Work injuries can leave employees unsure about which benefits they qualify for or whether their employer’s insurance will cover all their needs. Our workers’ compensation attorneys help local residents pursue benefits and identify third-party liability situations where additional compensation beyond standard workers’ compensation benefits may apply.

Medical Malpractice

When a medical provider makes a serious mistake, the consequences can affect a patient’s health for years. Our medical malpractice attorneys recovered a $12.75 million settlement for failure to diagnose brain disease and a $6.5 million settlement for a teenage client who suffered a brain bleed, resulting in hemiplegia. We represent clients harmed by surgical errors, delayed diagnoses, medication mistakes, and other negligent medical treatment.

Premises Liability

Property owners have a responsibility to maintain safe conditions for visitors. Our premises liability lawyers represent individuals injured in slip-and-fall accidents, on unsafe staircases, on poorly maintained walkways, and in situations involving inadequate property security.

Product Liability

Defective products can cause serious injuries when they’re designed poorly, manufactured incorrectly, or sold without proper warnings. Local families rely on our product liability lawyers to pursue claims against manufacturers and sellers who place unsafe products in consumers’ hands.

Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect

Families trust nursing homes to care for their loved ones with dignity and respect. When that trust is broken, legal action may be necessary. Our nursing home abuse lawyers represent families whose loved ones have suffered physical harm, emotional mistreatment, neglect, or unsafe living conditions.

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one because of negligence is devastating, and families deserve both accountability and support. We represent families in wrongful death cases, helping them pursue compensation that may help relieve financial strain and provide stability after an unexpected loss.

Why Clients Choose Liever, Hyman & Potter

Results at scale set our firm apart. More than 500 awards and settlements in a recent three-year period alone, including multiple million-dollar and multi-million-dollar outcomes, reflect a track record built over decades, not a run of recent luck. Since 1959, we’ve won more awards and settlements for victims and their families than any other firm located in the Berks and Schuylkill County area.

Lead attorney John R. Badal was admitted to the Pennsylvania bar in 1978 and to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1991. He is a member of both the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum. He has also served as Chairman of the Civil Litigation Section and the Workers’ Compensation Section of the Berks County Bar Association. Every case at our firm is assigned to a Civil Trial attorney qualified to handle it.

The financial barrier to hiring an attorney is one of the most common reasons injured people wait too long to get help. At Liever, Hyman & Potter, you pay no attorney fees, and we advance no case expenses until we recover money for you. That commitment applies to every client and every case, without exception. Your free consultation carries no obligation: just an honest review of your situation and clear guidance on your options.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Compensation Can I Recover in a Personal Injury Case?

Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future treatment needs. The amount depends on the severity of the injury, the long-term impact on your life, and the strength of the evidence supporting your claim.

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania’s statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. Missing that deadline can forfeit your right to seek compensation entirely. If you’ve been injured, it’s important to speak with an attorney as early as possible so nothing is lost to delay.
