Client focused - Excellent, Professional, Proven Results!

While sitting in my auto stopped at a light, I was stricken by large sport utility vehicle driven by a teen texting in the rain. I suffered broken vertebra in my neck, 5 broken ribs and a fractured sternum. Hospitalization, recovery and rehabilitation costs mounted. I was referred to Stuart Carpey... and his practice via my estate counsel. Stuart and his professionals are top notch! They are knowledgeable and educate and communicate regularly with the client describing the process and the client's options and obligations. Stuart is objective and straightforward - his clear in his advice and benefits from his years of experience. If you are in need of a professional team that clearly understand the plaintiff's needs, the defendant's counsel and insurance company(ies) likely maneuvers, and optimal outcomes - then this is the team you should select and rely upon. 1st Rate!

Excellent Attorney. I Highly Recommend

I contacted Stuart Carpey after I suffered significant burns to my face the day before my wedding at a Med Spa. I wasn't sure if I had a case, and I wasn't sure I wanted to "sue" my spa - but after listening to my story (I had to hire a professional make up artist last minute that had the ability to ...conceal the burns for my wedding day and had to miss a lot of the activities my husband and I had planned on our honeymoon since I couldn't be in the sun-not to mention I had scars on my face that I had to see a Dermatologist for and undergo laser treatments and an entire treatment plan to correct my skin!) and sharing photos of my face - Stuart spent a lot of time with me explaining my options. I didn't want to appear spiteful and had a relationship with my spa, but Stuart handled everything from explaining how the process would work to advising me how to correspond with my spa as to not seem like I was bitter. I was so pleased how he handled the situation professionally and kept me informed. Each and every time I contacted him with a question he was VERY responsive and helped me with decisions regarding all of the procedures I needed in the aftermath to heal the scarring and what I should pay out of pocket, etc. He was on top of gathering my medical info from my Doctors and working with the Spa's insurance company throughout my recovery journey. Then, when it came time to settle, we discussed the pros and cons of a trial versus taking a settlement. While I felt strongly about a fair settlement, the insurance company offered me a low-ball settlement. I was shocked and offended. But I really didn't want to go to court to settle this and go through a trial. I just wanted my expenses covered and what I lost on my honeymoon. Stuart explained that is very typical of insurance companies and explained he would fight in court for what my case was worth or he would fight for a reasonable settlement. He again explained all of the pros and cons of each and I decided to let him negotiate a settlement. He did just that - and negotiated $11, 000 more than the original settlement offer! It was exactly the outcome I had hoped for! I couldn't be happier. The settlement covered all of my out of pocket expenses and more to ease the blow of not having the ideal honeymoon! From start to finish, I felt taken care of, informed and I didn't have to do anything at all. Stuart and/or his staff (who were all pleasant and helpful) handled everything better than I could have hoped for. I recommend Stuart Carpey 100%. Even if you're unsure if you need a lawyer-just Stuart Carpey a call. He is so very helpful and informative. You won't be sorry!

Recommend you download The 10 Biggest Mistakes That Can Wreck Your Pennsylvania Accident Case

I downloaded Stuart's free book called "The 10 Biggest Mistakes That Can Wreck Your Pennsylvania Accident Case" and immediately had both my children read it because not only does it have great information about accident law in PA, it also points out common sense things to do that a driver might not o...therwise think of in the heat of the moment. It is a must read for anyone who owns a car in PA!

Posted by anonymous | November 01, 2010 | Lawsuits & Disputes

informative!

This is our first experience meeting with a lawyer. I was very nervous and did not know what to expect. My meeting with Stuart was great. It was very informative and educational. After listening to my case patiently, Stuart analyzed all possible outcome of my case and advised us what actions I should... take to protect my rights. He explained things so that I could understand. The benefits we gained from this very first meeting with Stuart didn’t end on that day, because we are still reading the books he wrote, which he handed to us before we left.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I worked with Stuart Carpey on a personal injury case involving a serious injury to the face, several smashed teeth, facial cuts, and surgery to repair the teeth and face. The case was hotly contested on liability. We also dealt with issues from a pre-existing related medical condition. The defendant was an odd bunch who required tact to deal with. Additionally, in order to present our best case we need cooperation from the surgeon who was located in Philadelphia (Stuart's home area), and Stuart was able to smooth him over to help ensure his cooperation and involvement. In all respects, Stuart was a pleasure to deal with, and an invaluable asset. We achieved a great result. The client was very happy. I highly recommend him."
