About Michael Pileggi

Catastrophically injured victims need trial attorneys with real courtroom experience. Michael Pileggi has tried more than 50 cases and participated in well over 1,000 in-court hearings across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. His efforts have earned the respect of judges, and even defense attorneys - who, at the conclusion of their matters against him, have then referred injured victims to him for representation. Michael annually wins seven-figure awards for his clients and has recovered tens-of-millions of dollars for his clients in recent years.

He has represented clients with serious brain injuries and spinal cord traumas; amputations; those abused by healthcare workers; drowning victims; wrongly discharged patients resulting in death; concert/events attendees injured due to lax security; and those who have suffered life-shattering construction accidents, among others. When representing clients, Michael employs a maximum-pressure litigation style. Seriously injured victims do not have the luxury of waiting patiently, with their hands folded, hoping for fair compensation.

When insurance companies delay and deny, you need an attorney who will break through the logjam. Michael utilizes aggressive motions practice and an always-attack approach to force insurance companies closer to their day of reckoning in front of a jury. Michael has become a trusted go-to and first-call for attorneys practicing outside of the personal injury world.
