Cohen v Gulf Oil – first $1 million verdict in PA and a bench trial– Auto accident.

This was tried to a judge only in what is called a “bench trial.” The federal judge awarded Attorney Cohen $1 million, the first time this amount had ever been awarded in Pennsylvania.

The largest judgment ever against a single individual, against Ira Einhorn for the murder of his girlfriend, Holly Maddux.
Estate of Holly Maddux v. Ira Einhorn: We obtained the largest judgment ever against a single individual, a $907 million verdict against Ira Einhorn for the murder of his girlfriend, Holly Maddux. Perhaps known as the most egregious murder in Philadelphia’s history, committed by one of the city’s most infamous sociopaths, Jim Beasley Sr. took on the case when he learned from the Maddux family that Einhorn was planning to write a book, which would have handsomely compensated him for telling his story. The Beasley Firm’s victory stopped Einhorn from ever seeing a penny in profit from his horrible crime and murder. The firm handled the case for free.

Insurance adjusters deal with accident claims day in and day out. Though they are trained to be courteous to clients and claimants and may even take a personal interest in your health, it is ultimately their job to try to reduce the settlement you receive. Like any for-profit business, insurers exist to make money, not to make sure you’re taken care of. This means most car accident victims are at a disadvantage when it comes to negotiating a settlement. While you’ve probably never dealt with this situation before, the person at the other end of the phone does it all the time. Retaining an experienced car accident attorney in Philadelphia to handle your claim is a concrete step you can take to improve your chances. Our attorneys know how the claims process is supposed to go and we know the techniques that work when negotiating with insurers. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured, you likely can’t afford to not get the settlement you need.
After a car accident, having the right lawyer is incredibly important. The Beasley Firm has a team that is committed, skilled, and experienced. In fact, many other community firms refer car accident cases to us because they know we fight to make sure our clients' legal rights are protected and maximum compensation is recovered. Not every team has the resources or dedication to invest the significant time some cases need. As a longstanding leader in personal injury law, our firm can provide the help you need.
The Beasley Firm has won more than $2 billion in verdicts and settlements for the victims of serious injuries including amputations, loss of eyesight and hearing, brain damage, spinal cord injury, paraplegia, and much more. We've handled a broad range of car accident cases, from rollovers to airbag failures to highway defects to tire separations. Not only can we take on complex cases like those listed above, but we’re also known for providing quality representation to our clients. Our Philadelphia car accident attorneys start each case with a thorough investigation of the accident, reviewing all potentially liable parties and causes of action with our experienced team. We bring together safety experts, accident reconstruction specialists, forensic witnesses, medical and life care experts, and even biomechanical engineers to ensure we craft the strongest case possible for every client.
There are certain things you can do after a collision to help protect your right to compensation—and there are also things you should avoid lest you jeopardize it.
Pennsylvania operates under a "modified comparative negligence rule" when it comes to shared fault, which means that even if you are partially to blame for the accident that caused your injuries, you can still recover compensation from a personal injury lawsuit. Only if you are found to be more than 50% at fault for the accident will you be prevented from receiving damages.
The Pennsylvania statute of limitations for these types of claims is two years, but it's best to get started on your personal injury claim as soon as possible after an accident so that your attorney can speak on your behalf with the insurance company and start collecting evidence to defend your claim.
After an auto collision, swift action is needed to preserve evidence. We advise you to contact an attorney as soon as you are able to make sure no important data is lost. Sometimes, accident cases can be incredibly complex, and specific and detailed evidence may be essential to success. Our attorneys are ready to speak with you today to let you know the next steps in filing a claim. We have won over $2 billion for the victims of auto accidents and their families, and along the way, we’ve helped clients receive record-breaking verdicts and settlements. If you want a team that will put in the effort and pursue every avenue for compensation, reach out to us today.
