• Route 283 toward Harrisburg

• Route 222 (Prince Street/Oregon Pike corridor)

• Columbia Avenue (Route 462)

Car Accident Lawyer in Lancaster, PA

Car accidents are the most common injury cases we handle.

Where Accidents Frequently Occur:

• Route 30 near the Centerville Road exit

• Route 283 commuter corridor

• Prince Street and King Street intersections

• Harrisburg Pike shopping areas

• Lititz Pike and Fruitville Pike

Rear-end collisions, T-bone crashes, distracted driving accidents, and DUI-related wrecks are common in these areas.

What We Handle:

• Medical bills

• Lost wages

• Pain and suffering

• Vehicle damage

• Long-term disability

Pennsylvania uses a modified comparative negligence system. If you are partially at fault, your compensation may be reduced. If you are more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover damages.

Insurance companies will try to shift blame. We push back with evidence.

---

Truck Accident Lawyer – Lancaster County

Lancaster sits along major trucking corridors. Commercial trucks travel daily on:

• Route 30

• Route 283

• Route 222

• I-76 (Pennsylvania Turnpike nearby)

Truck accidents are more complex than car crashes because they often involve:

• Federal trucking regulations

• Black box data

• Corporate insurance policies

• Multiple liable parties

Common causes:

• Driver fatigue

• Improper maintenance

• Overloaded trailers

• Distracted driving

• Speeding

Truck accidents often cause catastrophic injuries due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles.

We move quickly to preserve evidence before it disappears.

---

Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in Lancaster

Motorcyclists face serious risk on:

• Route 462

• Columbia Avenue

• Back country roads in Lancaster County

• Route 23 toward Leola

• Route 272 toward Willow Street

Drivers frequently claim “I didn’t see the motorcycle.” That is not a defense to negligence.

Motorcycle accident injuries often include:

• Traumatic brain injuries

• Road rash

• Spinal cord damage

• Fractures

Insurance companies sometimes unfairly stereotype riders as reckless. We focus on facts, not assumptions.

---

Bus Accident Lawyer – Lancaster

Bus accidents may involve:

• School buses

• Public transit

• Charter buses

• Tour buses traveling through Lancaster’s tourism corridor

Liability can involve government entities, private companies, or third-party contractors. These cases require careful legal strategy, especially if a public agency is involved.

If you were injured as:

• A bus passenger

• A pedestrian

• A driver hit by a bus

You may have a claim.

---

Slip and Fall Lawyer (Premises Liability)

Slip and fall accidents happen frequently in:

• Grocery stores along Columbia Avenue

• Apartment complexes

• Office buildings

• Parking lots

Property owners have a duty to maintain reasonably safe premises.

Common hazards include:

• Wet floors

• Icy sidewalks

• Broken steps

• Uneven pavement

• Poor lighting

To win a slip and fall case, we must prove:

1. A dangerous condition existed

2. The property owner knew or should have known

3. They failed to fix it

4. That failure caused your injury

These cases are evidence-driven. Surveillance footage and maintenance records matter.

---

Dog Bite Lawyer – Lancaster, PA

Pennsylvania law holds dog owners responsible for injuries caused by their pets.

Dog bites frequently occur in:

• Residential neighborhoods

• Apartment complexes

• Public parks

• Walking trails

Dog bite injuries can cause:

• Nerve damage

• Infection

• Emotional trauma

Even if the dog never bit anyone before, the owner may still be liable.

Children are especially vulnerable. We take these cases seriously.

---

These cases require both legal skill and compassion.

What Makes Personal Injury Cases Hard?

1. Duty of care

2. Breach of duty

4. Damages

Insurance companies look for weaknesses:

• Gaps in medical treatment

• Inconsistent statements

• Social media posts

• Pre-existing conditions

We build strong cases from the beginning.

---
