FAQ Harrisburg Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

1. What should I do right after being hit as a pedestrian?

First, get medical help—even if you think your injuries are minor. Then document everything (take photos, get driver and witness info). Finally, call our Harrisburg team at Metzger Wickersham for a free consultation so we can start protecting your rights. 

2. Do I need a lawyer if I was hit by a car while walking?

Yes. Pedestrian injury cases can be complex. Our personal injury attorneys in Harrisburg will investigate liability, gather evidence, negotiate with insurance, and fight for the full recovery you deserve. 

3. What kinds of damages can I recover after a pedestrian accident?

You may be able to recover:
  • Medical costs (current and future)
  • Lost wages or reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering and emotional distress
  • In-home care, therapy, or other long-term needs

4. How long do I have to file a claim in Pennsylvania?

You generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim in Pennsylvania. 

5. Who can be held responsible in a pedestrian accident?

Liability often falls on the driver, but there may be other parties at fault—such as a vehicle manufacturer or a local entity if road conditions contributed. Our team will investigate all possible sources of fault. 

6. How does Metzger Wickersham charge for pedestrian accident cases?

We work on a contingency-fee basis, meaning you pay nothing up front. We only get paid if we win your case. 

7. How long does it usually take to resolve a pedestrian accident claim?

It depends. Some cases settle in a few months if liability is clear. More complex cases (especially if litigation is needed) can take longer. But we always strive to resolve your case efficiently.  Harrisburg Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
