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 neligence 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 personal injury 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 personal injury attorney in your corner, this is plenty of time to build a strong case and obtain the best possible outcome for your situation.
