Aggressive Legal Representation for Injured People

Legal Help to Get You the Compensation You Deserve

At the law firm of Serbin, Kovacs & Nypaver L.L.P., we represent injured people and grieving families, never insurance companies. When the insurance companies will not settle, you need an aggressive lawyer to give your case prompt attention and to take the necessary steps to fight for you. Contact our Altoona injury claims attorneys.

With a combined 80 years of legal experience, we have handled almost every type of accidental death and serious injury case. We represent clients in the following areas:

Motor Vehicle Accidents: Our personal injury attorneys have helped hundreds of people get money for back injuries, head injuries, brain damage, whiplash, and broken bones suffered in auto accidents, trucking accidents, bus accidents, motorcycle accidents, and pedestrian and bicycle accidents. In addition to driver negligence claims against the other driver and their insurance company, we review all possible sources of financial recovery, including:

• Your own uninsured and underinsured motorist policy
• The bar that served alcoholic drinks to a drunk driver who injured you
• The state of local government controlling the road if construction crew negligence, poor signage, or improper road construction created dangerous highway conditions

Boating and Recreational Vehicle Accidents: Like auto accidents, many boating injury accidents involve alcohol. They are caused by drunk boaters who cannot maintain control of their boats.

Dangerous Premises: From slip and fall accidents, to dog bites, to physical assault in security buildings, the owner of a property can be held liable for failing to maintain and secure the property.

Defective Products: Manufacturers, sellers and distributors of dangerous and defective products can—and must—be held accountable for the products they produce that cause injury and death. Product liability lawsuits are one of the only ways to get unsafe products off the market.

Insurance Disputes / Abuse: If you believe you were treated unfairly or denied payment on an insurance claim, contact our Altoona law office to talk to an experienced consumer protection attorney.

Sexual Abuse: Serbin, Kovacs & Nypaver L.L.P. is one of the few firms in the state to help the victims of childhood sexual abuse seek justice in court and to get child molesters out of positions where they can harm more children.

Workers Compensation:  Attorney Laverne Kovacs has been helping those injured on the job with their workers compensation issues for over 20 years.   If you or a loved one has been injured at work, contact us today for a free review of your case .
