Ostroff Recovers $900,000 for a Pennsylvania client within 7 months of his accident

Local client required no surgery, returned to work in less than 4 months and was discharged by all treating physicians from active care within 6 months of accident.

In March of 2010, Personal Injury Lawyer Jon Ostroff won another victory for a client injured in an automobile accident. Ostroff obtained a $900,000 settlement for his client in a matter that involved a Pennsylvania car accident that occurred only 7 months earlier. While Ostroff's client initially sustained significant injuries, he returned to work within 4 months of the accident and required no surgery. Ostroff depicted his client's story in a way that successfully maximized the value the insurance company assigned to the claim. Ostroff also continued to make sure that his client had obtained all of the medical care he needed to obtain the best physical recovery he could.

Jon Ostroff added:
"Insurance companies respect good work by good lawyers. In this matter, we made sure that our client received follow up care from some of the best doctors in the region and that the doctors were willing to assist us with the information we needed to help him recover what he deserved. It was a great outcome. He is back to work and he received an outstanding settlement. We pushed this case along hard and by staying on offense, we kept the insurance company on defense... and it worked here. I'm very proud of this outcome for a client who I respected and cared for a great deal."
Rarely has a lawyer recovered anywhere near this amount of money in a case with no surgery and a prompt return to full time work.

Changing attorneys is not as difficult as you think!

We have had multiple clients tell us that they were working with an personal injury attorney who was not giving their case the attention it deserved. Other clients had an attorney who was recommending that they settle their case for less than it was worth.

Firing your attorney is easier than you think.

It you are not being properly represented... you will be hurt again with a low settlement or bad outcome!
If we agree to take your case over, we will pay your injury lawyer any fee they are due out of our fee.

Ask yourself this about your current attorney
  • Are you truly happy with the job they are doing to recover money for you?
  • Do you think your attorney is working their hardest for you?
  • Does your lawyer know you, know your name and know your injuries without looking them up?
  • Have you spoken with your lawyer or have you only spoken with paralegals?
  • Have you met your lawyer?
If you answered "no" to any of these questions, call Jon Ostroff.

If you meet with us at Ostroff Injury law and we agree to represent you—we will pay your current attorney any fee they are due. This will be clearly stated in your Contingency Fee Agreement.

Ostroff Injury Law will make the transfer of your file a simple process! Literally 1-2-3!
  1. We will provide you with a letter advising your previous attorney of your decision, you simply review it and sign it.
  2. We will obtain your file promptly. The rules applying to lawyers require your lawyer to promptly forward your file so that your case is not harmed in any way.
  3. We will promptly notify the insurance company and all involved parties that we are have taken over your file.
It is that easy.

Once we recover money for you, we pay the other firm out of our fee if they are due anything. You pay our fee only!

Please consider giving us 30 minutes to tell us about your case and we'll tell you how we can help you and your family.

  • No pressure
  • No obligation to commit
  • Confidential

Are Discount Personal Injury Lawyers Right For You?

Doctors and lawyers are two of the most highly trained professionals.

A doctor deals with the most critical aspect of our lives, which is our life and our health. But if you’ve been seriously injured in a car accident, the quality of your personal injury lawyer can make a huge difference in the amount of money you receive for your claim. This is very important to injured victims.

If you were about to undergo surgery, would you look for the cheapest doctor you could find?

If one lawyer is charging you a 25% fee and he gets you $50,000, you would clear $37,500. If you pay a better lawyer 33% and he gets you $150,000, you clear $100,000.

There’s a lot more to choosing a lawyer than finding the one with the lowest fee. If you think about it, there’s probably a real good reason why one is cheaper!

So if you are about to choose a personal injury lawyer that will be responsible for protecting you and for making sure you are paid the money you deserve….you owe it to yourself….and to your family, to choose a personal injury lawyer that will know how to take care of you. Look for experience, commitment and reputation.

The right personal injury lawyer can make the difference between a recovery that you feel good about versus a recovery that leaves you feeling injured all over again!

Should you handle your own personal injury case?

If you've been seriously injured in an auto accident, you may be entitled to a substantial amount of money. The way you go about getting what you deserve may be one of the most important financial decisions that you ever make.


If someone else injured you and you are entitled to a lot of money, trying to avoid the cost of an experienced personal injury lawyer is about as logical as trying to avoid the cost of a doctor and doing surgery on yourself.

On average, personal injury lawyers recover three and a half times more money than someone who deals directly with the insurance company. Insurance companies spend time and money training their adjuster on how to settle with you before you hire a lawyer.


If you were boxing for the first time, you wouldn't get in the ring with a pro who has fought his whole life. Insurance companies have experience with injury claims. Insurance adjusters are trained constantly on how to get away with paying you less. They are heavyweight pros! Why do you think they own some of the tallest buildings in almost every major U.S. city? They know how to pay you less. And like an experienced boxer, they can knock you on your ass if you try and fight them alone. You will be injured for a second time.

Be smart. Find a personal injury lawyer who has the experience and the team to take on the insurance company. You want to paid what your due. You can't go it alone.

50 Vehicle Pile Up on I-80 in Clearfield County: Injured victims seek the help of Ostroff Injury Law

On February 10, 2010, during a snow storm, 50 cars and trucks crushed into one another... all within a couple mile stretch in northwestern Pennsylvania.

There were at least 70 drivers and passengers that were involved in this historic pile up.  This was one of the worst accidents in Pennsylvania history. Many people were injured and one was killed.

Ostroff Injury law has been retained by some of the victims of this collision. Retained by one family within days of this collision, Jon Ostroff, Esquire, promptly deployed investigators to the scene in an effort to secure the most helpful evidence that was available Jon's goal was to put the pieces together on this tragic crash. Ostroff has experience in handling catastrophic injury cases involving trucks and cars. After helping more than 20,000 injury victims in the past twenty years, he knew exactly what he needed to do for his clients in this matter.

Ostroff: "When this many vehicles are involved, and people are seriously injured and killed, it's critical to my clients that I get as much evidence as I can, as early as I can. We did a strong job in this matter. I'm very proud of our team. Our quick action allowed us to get critical photographs and video, statements, police information, and more. This evidence would not have been available a few days later. I am confident that this evidence will be very helpful to my clients and their claims."

Once Ostroff Injury Law finishes this initial investigation, they will turn to some of the top experts in the U.S. to help determine what happened.


"We will rely on our experts to help us and others understand how this accident occurred and who was at fault for it," remarked Ostroff.

How to Choose an Experienced Personal Injury Lawyer, PA Style

When you’ve been in an accident, everything changes in one instant.

You are no longer thinking about every day considerations such as how to get to work on time and what to eat for dinner. Instead, you are forced to think about your physical, emotional and financial recoveries – so that you can get back to a time when you could commute to work and the grocery store and continue leading a normal life.

Experience Matters


In order to make the maximum possible physical and emotional recovery, it is important to work with a lawyer who can help you obtain the greatest possible financial recovery. When you are looking for a lawyer, it is important to find an experienced personal injury lawyer. PA lawyers may all be licensed but they cannot all achieve the same results for you.

Often, the lawyer who can achieve the best possible results:

  • Knows What He’s Doing. He has lots of experience handling personal injury cases and knows the most successful legal arguments and negotiating tactics to use in your case.
  • Cares About His Clients. You want a lawyer who is determined to get you the largest possible settlement or damage award because he understands how that money will impact your life. You want someone who is sympathetic to the physical pain that you have incurred and the emotional and financial pain that you and your family are going through.
  • Has Experience Handling Insurance Companies. Insurance companies respect lawyers who have a proven track record of success and they are more willing to enter serious negotiations with lawyers whom they know are not afraid to go to trial.
  • Is Conveniently Located. Plymouth Meeting is an easily accessible location that is convenient to Philadelphia. Cases throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania can be handled by an experienced Plymouth Meeting personal injury lawyer.

PA is a diverse state but a centrally located lawyer who knows what he’s doing, is experienced with insurance companies, and cares about his clients can help clients throughout the state recover damages.
