LANCASTER AUTO ACCIDENT LAWYERS

Let Our 130+ Years of Experience Fight For You

Auto accidents happen when you least expect, and the results are often devastating. While insurance companies should be there to help accident victims quickly recover from their injuries, the truth is their interests lie in protecting the bottom line, even if it means withholding money they are obligated to pay.

This is not how things should be. Metzger Wickersham is here to help you fight for the compensation you are owed. Since 1888, our Lancaster car accident lawyers have helped clients hold insurance companies responsible for the care they need to render. Let us help you get back to your life.

Pennsylvania Law Regarding Accidents

Serious injuries are expensive to treat. You may end up spending days or weeks in the hospital, costing you tens of thousands in medical fees. While proving that the other driver was at fault can be easy, there is always the chance that an insurance company may argue that you were also at fault. Since Pennsylvania is a comparative negligence state, the amount of compensation you receive could be negatively affected.

If you retain Metzger Wickersham, our Lancaster accident lawyers can help you:

• Prove that the other driver was at fault for the accident
• Demonstrate the severity and impact of your injuries
• Determine the appropriate and fair amount of damages you are entitled to receive

Protect Yourself From Insufficient Settlements

Once your accident gets reported to the other driver’s insurance company, they will immediately begin building a case against you. There is a chance you may have already been offered a settlement check that would bind you to a small amount of compensation, before you are even finished treating for your injuries. Our Lancaster car accident lawyers know how to fight against this.

If you were injured, you should:

• Get your injuries examined and treated by a doctor of your choosing — Make sure you are treating consistently and following all doctors’ orders. This will help build a stronger case in your favor.
• Refuse a settlement check without first speaking to an attorney — Let a qualified legal professional like the ones at Metzger Wickersham help you determine how much compensation is fair and just. Do not accept a minimal amount just because the insurance company aggressively offers it to you.
• Get the help of an experienced attorney — Generally speaking, Pennsylvania’s statute of limitations is two years from the date of the accident. With a car accident attorney in your corner, this is plenty of time to build a strong case and obtain the best possible outcome for your situation.
