The Baratta Law Story – By Anthony J. Baratta
There’s an old saying: “Well sown is half grown.” It’s especially true in personal injury law. At Baratta Law, we believe that the outcome of your case depends greatly on who you choose as your attorney. When it comes to serious injury cases, selecting the right Philadelphia personal injury attorney can make all the difference.
Many clients find a lawyer through a friend, a TV ad, or a billboard. But this can lead to hiring the wrong attorney. The American Bar Association reports that 93% of people hire the first attorney they meet. That means many personal injury claims end up in the hands of lawyers without the right experience or commitment to fight for the full value of the case.
At Baratta Law, we’ve created this guide to help you make an informed decision and to explain how our approach is different.
What Makes Baratta Law Different from Other Injury Law Firms
Most personal injury firms handle a high volume of cases and aim to settle quickly. But serious injury claims, especially those involving complex liability or catastrophic injuries, require time, resources, and expert trial preparation.
At Baratta Law, we are a boutique Philadelphia personal injury law firm that intentionally limits our caseload. Why? Because quality matters more than quantity. We focus on difficult, high-stakes cases that demand aggressive litigation and personalized legal strategy. In 2024 alone, we recovered over $60 million for our clients.
Real Case, Real Results
Here’s an example: A pedestrian was hit by a car in a mall parking lot. The driver had just $15,000 in insurance, and most lawyers would have taken the offer. But that would not be enough to compensate our client. We investigated the parking lot’s design, filed suit against the property owner, and discovered they had ignored proper engineering plans when painting traffic lines. Our deep dive led to a settlement 20x higher than what most firms would have accepted.
This is the advantage of working with trial attorneys who have to time to think strategically, the resources to fund the deep dive, and are not afraid to go to court.
Trial Preparation Is Everything
We believe that trying cases is an art. From the moment we accept your case, we treat it like a full-scale trial, not a transaction. Our team invests in investigation, preservation of evidence, guidance of expert witnesses, colorful medical exhibits, 3D modeling, accident reconstruction, and other high-impact tools that help a jury understand your injuries and the negligence involved.
Because of our trial-readiness, insurance companies know we’re serious. That pressure leads to better settlements or successful outcomes at trial.
A Law Firm That Puts Clients First
Sometimes, we’re not the right fit, and we’ll tell you that. If your case needs a different legal specialty, we’ll connect you to the best attorney we know for the job. We also provide honest evaluations so you know the strengths and challenges of your case before deciding to move forward.
If we do take your case, you’ll know it’s because we believe in it and in you.
The Baratta Law Commitment
We are passionate about achieving justice for our clients. Whether it’s a medical malpractice case, a trucking accident, a product liability claim, or a complex premises liability case, we treat every matter like it’s the most important one we’ve ever taken—because to you, it is. Our team has extensive experience handling catastrophic injuries, including severe burns and traumatic brain injuries, and we fight relentlessly to secure the compensation our clients deserve.
Let us help you protect your future. If you’re searching for a top-rated Philadelphia personal injury attorney, reach out to Baratta Law for an honest conversation.
