$207,000,000. That's the verdict Pennsylvania's Superior Court just upheld in a birth injury malpractice case, the largest in state history.

A Philadelphia jury originally awarded $183 million after finding that a major hospital's negligence during delivery caused catastrophic brain damage to a child who now lives with cerebral palsy and can never walk, speak, or care for himself. With delay damages added, it became $207 million. The appeals court said: it stands.

This matters for every Pennsylvania patient for three reasons:

1. Pennsylvania has NO cap on malpractice damages. What a jury decides you deserve, you can receive, unlike many states where legislated caps strip victims of full compensation.

2. Hospital systems are feeling the pressure. CFOs at major Pennsylvania health networks are openly warning that malpractice exposure is rising, which means they're taking these cases seriously.

3. You have two years to file. From the date you discovered (or reasonably should have discovered) the malpractice, the clock is ticking.

Birth injuries. Surgical errors. Misdiagnosis. Emergency room negligence. We handle them all and we never charge unless we win.

The insurance adjuster calls within hours of your accident. Here's the playbook they're running.

The phone rings. It's the other driver's insurance company. They're "just checking in." They sound helpful, maybe even sympathetic. But what they want is a recorded statement, and they want it before you've seen a doctor, before you know the full extent of your injuries, and before you've talked to an attorney.

Here's what actually happens on those calls:
→ They ask vague questions about "how you're feeling" — fishing for a statement that minimizes your injuries
→ They offer a quick settlement — often a fraction of what your case is actually worth
→ They try to get you to confirm details that establish partial fault on your part

Pennsylvania is a comparative negligence state. That means if they can argue you were even 1% responsible, your compensation goes down. If they push you past 50%, you get nothing.

You have the right to say: "I'm represented by counsel. Please contact my attorney."

We review every case for free. Seriously, no fee unless we win, no consultation charge, no hourly billing. Ever.

Adrenaline masks pain. If you wait days or weeks to see a doctor after a crash, the insurance company will use that gap in treatment to claim you were never hurt at all. Your health comes first, and the value of your case depends on it. Go to the doctor, then call us!

303 crashes. Every. Single. Day.

That's what PennDOT recorded on Pennsylvania roads in 2024, making it 13 crashes per hour, around the clock, every day of the year. And while fatalities dropped to 1,127 (the second-lowest on record), that number is still more than 1,000 families who lost someone.

What the headlines don't tell you: heavy truck crashes went UP last year, pedestrians made up 18% of all fatalities, and Friday is statistically your most dangerous day on the road.

If you were injured in a crash, whether it was a car, truck, motorcycle, or pedestrian accident, those statistics represent real consequences: medical bills, lost wages, pain that doesn't show up in a report.

At Frischman & Rizza, we've seen what the numbers look like in real people's lives. Our free case evaluation costs you nothing. Our "no fee unless we win" guarantee means zero financial risk, ever.

Emergency rooms operate under extreme pressure. Understaffing, overcrowding, high volume — these are realities of the system. But they are not legal defenses.

Pennsylvania patients who are harmed in emergency settings due to triage failures, premature discharge, medication errors, or missed diagnoses have the same rights as patients in any other care setting.

The emergency context doesn't eliminate the duty to provide competent care, it shapes what competent care looks like.

If you or a loved one left an ER worse than when you arrived, and something still doesn't feel right, you deserve a real answer.

The insurance company isn't doing you a favor with that fast check. They are trying to buy you out before you realize how much your medical bills will actually cost. Once you cash it, your case is closed forever. Never accept the first offer without legal backup! Click the link in our bio if you've been injured.

Motorcycle riders don't die because they're reckless. They die because other drivers don't look.

The classic left-turn crash — a car turning in front of an oncoming motorcycle at an intersection — is one of the most common and most deadly accident patterns in Pennsylvania. The driver "didn't see" the rider. That failure to see is a failure of reasonable care. It is negligence.

Riders injured on Pennsylvania roads have the right to pursue full compensation, including medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering, with or without a helmet.

The birth of a child should be one of the most protected moments in medicine. When a delivery goes wrong, families often face years of care, uncertainty and grief, often without ever finding out if what happened was preventable.

Birth injuries caused by medical negligence — delayed C-sections, improper use of delivery instruments, failure to monitor oxygen levels — can affect a child's entire life. In Pennsylvania, families may have more time than they realize to file a claim.

If you have questions about what happened during your child's birth, we will listen. No obligation. No fees. Ever, unless we win.

Getting hit by an uninsured driver doesn't mean you're out of options. It means the process is different and you need someone who knows it.

Pennsylvania requires insurers to offer UM/UIM coverage when you buy a policy. If you waived it, declined it, or don't know what you chose, that matters. If you have it, your own insurance company becomes the party you're negotiating against and they're not on your side.

We handle UM/UIM claims for accident victims across Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania. Don't assume the door is closed because the other driver didn't have coverage.

The moments immediately following a car crash are chaotic and stressful. Because we are naturally empathetic, many people will step out of their vehicle and immediately apologize to the other driver. Even if you are just being polite and checking on their wellbeing, saying you are sorry can be a catastrophic mistake for your claim. Insurance companies and defense lawyers will quickly point to that apology as a legally binding admission of guilt, even if the other driver was completely at fault. Stay calm, ensure everyone is safe, call emergency services, and wait for the police report. Once you are safe, call us to handle the rest.
