If you have suffered an injury as the result of the irresponsibility of another, Mr. Ewing will fight to make sure you get the justice you deserve. This fight begins with the investigation.
From the very beginning Attorney Robert Ewing and the seasoned legal staff at his personal injury law firm in Delaware County will thoroughly investigate your case to make sure that Mr. Ewing can prove negligence. This is second nature because he was a police officer for many years, used to attention to detail in his investigations. Unless you start your investigation immediately, witnesses can disappear and memories can fade.
Furthermore, merely being injured by someone else does not automatically entitle you to compensation. First, you must prove that the other person was at least negligent. Negligence means someone failed to act reasonably in a situation, and that situation caused an injury. There are times when someone could be faced with a "sudden emergency," such as a child darting into the street that causes them to swerve into your lane of travel. This is not necessarily negligence. Many lawyers may overlook this crucial aspect of a case.
Do not hesitate to seek legal guidance about your injury
In Pennsylvania, you normally only have two years from the date the incident occurred to bring the matter to court. Otherwise, the Statute of Limitations may run out and you may not be entitled to seek any compensation whatsoever.
There are also situations where this deadline could be shortened or even extended. Therefore, you need to seek competent legal representation immediately. Not only is quick representation necessary for an investigation of the facts, but there must also be a determination of the appropriate Statute of Limitations. Do not assume you are not eligible to collect damages until you consult with a personal injury lawyer experienced in Delaware County injury law.
Here are just a few examples of the types of cases injury attorney Robert C. Ewing frequently undertakes:
- Automobile accidents
- Motorcycle accidents

Getting the justice you deserve
When considering a Delaware County personal injury action, it is important not only to know what is involved, but also who is involved. In Pennsylvania, the courts allow for more than one person, company, or part of a company to be sued as part of the same case if they were responsible for an injury, either directly or indirectly. This can be crucial.
For example, an employee may be driving his private car for work and only have very limited insurance. However, the employer may have a much larger policy. If you don’t bring a prompt action against the employer, you may lose the ability to recover under the larger policy. Once again, this is the reason a thorough investigation is so vital.
