Attorney Andrew Goldberg

Why I practice Personal Injury Law

Early in my career at Goldberg & Felice, I represented personal injury and criminal cases across greater Philadelphia. I quickly came to recognize the special nature of Personal Injury Law. When accident victims count on you to restore  their finances and their health, those are real relationships – which I find very satisfying.

Insurance companies are quick to deny a settlement request. So in order to obtain a large settlement, a claim must document your accident, injuries and costs with indisputable authority and an emotional punch. Doctors’ reports must explain how your injuries have affected your quality of life and how your bills are directly related to your injuries. Crafting a winning claim takes a meticulous and creative communicator who knows the insurance playbook inside and out.  

A Claim Document can be as complex as a novel. I work hard to assemble a truly intimidating array of facts, photos, and eyewitness and expert testimony. I compile detailed hospital reports to support claims of pain and suffering. To convey a client’s fear of losing a job, or the heartache of being unable to do the things they love, I use emotionally-charged language, photos and video. I precisely calculate lost income and all allowable costs, current and future. When everything comes together in a claim that the insurer cannot refuse, it's like writing a bestseller.

“When Andy assembled my case, every medical record and doctor’s report, every photo and witness statement, every expense was so expertly presented, it left the insurance company no place to push back.”

If a settlement request is rejected by the insurance company, I push back as firmly and often as needed with fresh facts and materials. I scour legal and medical journals for additional research to support the claim. And I don't stop until we achieve a satisfactory award.

Few cases require a court battle, but if I have to present your claim before a judge or jury, I apply all of my courtroom experience to win. I've won healthy settlements for hundreds of clients in courtrooms all across Delaware, Chester, Montgomery, Bucks and Philadelphia Counties.

My success as a negotiator and litigator at Goldberg & Felice inspired me to launch my own personal injury practice in 1996. From my office in Media PA, I serve a select group of clients, and personally direct every detail of their claims. I get to make a real difference in the health and the lives of good people, and many of them have become good friends.
