Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Cranberry Township
Our Cranberry Township personal injury lawyers assist people coping with the physical, financial, and practical consequences of an accident. Our personal injury practice includes the following types of cases:
Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Accidents
Car, truck, and motorcycle crashes can leave victims facing painful injuries, missed time from work, medical expenses, and significant disruption to daily life. Our firm investigates the cause of the collision, which may involve distracted driving, unsafe lane changes, speeding, commercial trucking violations, or other contributing factors. We pursue claims against the parties and insurers that may be responsible for our clients’ losses.
Slip and Fall Accidents and Dog Bites
Businesses, landlords, and other parties responsible for a property may be required to address hazards they knew about, or reasonably should have discovered, before visitors are harmed. Dog owners are required to train and control their pet to prevent biting people. When hazardous conditions, such as wet floors, uneven walkways, poor lighting, or inadequate maintenance, or a vicious dog cause an injury, we help clients evaluate whether a property owner, occupier of land, or another party may be liable.
Workplace Accidents
Some workplace injuries may involve claims beyond workers’ compensation, particularly when the negligence of a third party contributed to the accident. We help injured workers examine potential third-party claims involving contractors, equipment manufacturers, drivers, property owners, and others whose conduct may have contributed to their injuries.
Medical Malpractice
A preventable medical error can have lasting consequences for a patient and their family. When a doctor, nurse, hospital, or other healthcare provider may have failed to meet the applicable standard of care, we help injured patients and families evaluate their potential legal options.
Wrongful Death
A fatal accident can leave a family facing profound grief as well as unexpected financial and legal concerns. Shenderovich, Shenderovich & Fishman, P.C. helps eligible surviving family members evaluate wrongful death and survival claims after a fatal accident. These claims may allow recovery for certain losses permitted under Pennsylvania law.

Where Serious Accidents Happen in Cranberry Township
Cranberry Township’s network of major highways, commercial corridors, and heavily traveled local roads can create conditions that increase the risk of serious accidents.
Crashes Along the I-79, I-76, Route 19, and Route 228 Interchange
The network of roadways around Interstate 79, the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76), Route 19, and Route 228 carries substantial commuter, commercial, and through traffic. Drivers may need to merge quickly, change lanes across several lanes of traffic, or navigate unfamiliar exits and ramps.
These conditions may contribute to rear-end collisions, sideswipe crashes, unsafe lane changes, and other serious accidents. Traffic backups, construction activity, poor visibility, distracted driving, and aggressive driving can further increase the danger around these heavily traveled routes.
Injuries at Cranberry's Retail Corridors and Commercial Centers
Cranberry Township’s retail corridors and commercial centers draw large numbers of vehicles and pedestrians each day. Parking lots, shopping-center entrances, driveways, and nearby intersections can present added risks when drivers are focused on finding parking, making turns, or entering traffic.
People may be hurt in parking lot collisions, pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, or slip-and-fall incidents caused by dangerous property conditions. Depending on the circumstances, a driver, property owner, business operator, or another party may be responsible for an injury.
If you were injured in a crash or on someone else’s property in Cranberry Township, Shenderovich, Shenderovich & Fishman, P.C. can help you understand your legal options. Call (412) 391-7610 to discuss your case.
Filing a Personal Injury Claim in the Butler County Court of Common Pleas
Many personal injury lawsuits arising from accidents in Cranberry Township may be filed in the Butler County Court of Common Pleas. However, the proper venue depends on the facts of the case, the parties involved, and applicable court rules.
Pennsylvania law imposes strict filing deadlines on injury lawsuits, and many claims are subject to a two-year limitations period. Exceptions may apply, so it is important to speak with an attorney promptly about your potential claim. Our firm can guide clients through the claims process, from investigating the accident and gathering evidence to negotiating with insurers or pursuing litigation when appropriate.
What Compensation Is Available in Cranberry Township Personal Injury Cases
Depending on the facts of your case, you may be able to seek damages for losses such as:
- Current and anticipated medical expenses, including emergency treatment, hospitalization, surgery, rehabilitation, and ongoing car
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity, including wages lost during recovery and, where applicable, the long-term impact of an injury on a person’s ability to work
- Physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life
- Permanent impairment, disability, or disfigurement
- Property damage to your vehicle or other personal property
When an accident results in a death, eligible family members may have the right to pursue wrongful death and survival claims for certain losses permitted under Pennsylvania law.
Every injury claim is different. The damages available may be affected by the medical evidence, the nature of the accident, the parties’ respective responsibility, the available coverage, and the way the injury affects the person’s daily life.
