Metzger Wickersham

FAQ Car Accident Lawyer in Harrisburg

 
  1. What should I do immediately after a car accident in the Harrisburg area? Seek medical attention right away, even if you feel okay. Then reach out to us so we can protect your rights, preserve evidence and manage insurance and legal communications.
  2. How much will it cost to hire Metzger Wickersham for a car accident case? We handle car-accident cases on a contingency-fee basis — you pay nothing up front, and we only get paid if we recover compensation for you. 
  3. What is the deadline to file a car accident claim in Pennsylvania? In most cases you have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim. Waiting longer could mean losing your right to recover. 
  4. What types of compensation can Metzger Wickersham help me recover? You may be able to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, future care needs, pain & suffering, and vehicle/property damage. We work to build a full picture of your losses. 
  5. Do I need a lawyer if the accident seems minor or the damage is small? Even if the crash looks minor, hidden injuries or longer-term costs may arise. Having our firm handle the claim ensures the insurance companies don’t pressure you into settling too quickly or for too little.
  6. What if the other driver was uninsured or underinsured? Our team can explore all options, including your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage and other legal avenues. We’re prepared to handle complex accident situations.
  7. Will my case go to trial or is it likely to settle? Many car-accident cases are resolved by settlement, but we prepare every case as if it will go to court. That way you have full representation whether it settles or proceeds to trial. 
  8. What happens if I was partially at fault for the accident? Pennsylvania uses a modified comparative-negligence rule: you may still recover damages if you are 50% or less at fault. Our Harrisburg team will assess how fault is divided and protect your rights.
  9. What kinds of car accidents does your Harrisburg office handle? We handle a full range of auto accident matters around Harrisburg — from distracted driving, DUI crashes, hit-and-runs, to large-truck collisions and pedestrian/passenger injuries.
