About
David B. Kline focuses on personal injury law with specific expertise in two fields: emotional distress and premises liability, both of which have been the subject of legal treatises he has written to educate other attorneys. He has more than 24 years of deposition, arbitration, bench trial and jury trial experience. Mr. Kline is the author of numerous articles and treatises. His 1300+ page treatise "Emotional Injuries: Law and Practice" was published by WEST and sold to lawyers throughout the USA. It is the leading national treatise discussing recovery for emotional injuries. His article, Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress in Pennsylvania– Evolution from Physical Impact to Bystander Recovery, has been cited by the late Jude Dowling. Judge Dowling called David, in writing: the “foremost authority in PA on emotional distress recovery.” This judge also cited David's work in one of his judicial opinions! The case is Sears v. Hershey Medical Center, 10 D & C4th 182. He has been published for his legal writings ELEVEN different times in addition to his two treatises, and in 2011 he was appointed by the PA BAR to give a CLE on Ethical Issues in Lawyer Advertising, which counted as CLE credit for those in attendance. In addition, David is an experienced appellate attorney. He wrote the brief in Ganski v. Wolf Lighting, a 2012 Third Circuit case which is a leading case for its legal proposition on causation of damages. He has written more than a dozen appellate briefs. He has argued before the PA Superior Court three times and the US Circuit Court of Appeals, en banc, for the Third Circuit once (along with other casualty defense attorneys). Mr. Kline has obtained five different ADR awards in excess of $400,000 (one for $750,000 with disputed liability) and has won at least 25 ADR arbitration awards of more than $50,000. He received his J.D. from Widener School of Law and his L.L.M from Temple University. He is admitted to practice law in PA, MD and NY and before the United States District Court Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the United States District Court District of Maryland, the United States Third Circuit Court of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court as of 1999.

I highly recommend Dave as he is very punctual in getting back to you answers every question clearly so you understand the way things work every time I called he always answered always answers every email he was very clear so I understood my case and he was very punctual at making sure I had a settlement that was fair to me he cared about my health and still Does He also had a very fast speed time when it came to returning phone calls when he wasn't available his paralegal Stacey also worked wonderfully with me always knowing how to answer things and if she wasn't sure she always found out immediately I recommend this firm and this lawyer
David Kline and his staff were with me every step of the way, after I was struck by a SUV. I was confident in Mr. Kline from our initial phone consultation. Mr. Kline fought for me, stayed in contact with me via phone and email. In addition, Mr. Kline’s paralegal staff were exceptional. Ms. Nancy who prepared legal documents, stayed in constant contact while walking me through this difficult time in my life. In all, David Kline and his staff took the time to understand my case and was able to settle my case approximately 1 year after I had consulted and hired him. Thank you for all of your help, I would recommend him to anyone who wants an attorney who will fight hard for them.
David Kline went above and beyond to ensure a successful outcome to my very complicated personal injury case! He refused to rest until he prevailed! I cannot praise enough and will recommend him as often as possible!
Mr Kline and his entire team were exceptional. I was involved in an accident and Mr Kline and his team made this an effortless process for me. Anytime I called or emailed I got an answer almost immediately no matter what time of day. If I had an issue they were right there to fix it. God forbid I ever need a lawyer again I will go no where but Ostroff law. I highly recommend all of them, but especially Mr Kline
David Kline was my lawyer for a car accident that occurred last year. I had limited tort insurance and a lot of other lawyers turned me away due to this. Not David Kline and Ostroff injury law. They said they would try their best. They guided me, gave me some hope and had patience with me as well as i was anxious and worried about all of my medical bills and about my injury. In the end, we won rhe full amount possible you can in a limited tort case! I would highly recommend Mr. David Kline and Ostroff Injury Law. My paralegal, Rachel was beyond awesome. Always kept me up to date and showed concern, empathy, and so much patience with me as well.
David Represented my young son. He and his staff were in constant contact with me, in every aspect of my sons case. He took the time to call, email, and sit down with my son and I and made sure we were comfortable with every move he made. This is the guy you want to make sure you and your family are well informed and well represented. Thanks Dave.
Dave always took the time to answer my questions and give me his opinion so I wasn't making decisions alone. His advice was so helpful, I feel I made the right decisions about the case. He and his partner got me much more than I expected, and my case was settled just over a year after I hired him. I hear so many people say they never heard from their lawyer. Not with Dave. He answered my texts, my emails and my calls. He is the best, I would never hire anyone else but him.
David represented me in a difficult, emotional case and came through with flying colors. He was calm, patient, reassuring, and exceptionally responsive throughout all the legal drama! His advice was spot on, and explained so clearly it was easy to understand. He answered my questions thoroughly and PROMPTLY! which is unusual, in my experience. Highly recommended.
David was a good lawyer, he responded to me quickly with accurate answers. It was all I hoped for in a lawyer.
David help me get the award that I deserved. The defendant's insurance initially offered $1000 which was an insult. Dave walked me thru every step and even though it took a while it still settled an a very fair award amount I was very impressed with David....thank you so much!!!!!!!
