Common Types of Car Accidents

The team of Pennsylvania car accident attorneys at Metzger Wickersham have seen all manner of vehicle accidents that were caused by a wide range of negligent behaviors. Whatever the cause of your accident, if you need a lawyer for your car accident claim, we're here to help!

Some of the most common types of car accident cases we've handled are:

• Drunk driving/drugged driving
• Drowsy/fatigued driving
• Hit-and-run accidents

Highway Accidents Involving Trucks & Commercial Vehicles

Many car accidents occur on the highway and often involve 18-wheelers or large trucks of some kind. Due to their large size and weight, trucks can pose a great risk to surrounding drivers when they are not properly maintained or safely driven. Additionally, recovering compensation after a truck accident can be incredibly complex.

Protected by aggressive defense lawyers, trucking companies are reluctant to fork over compensation. In some cases, the truck driver or the truck manufacturer may also be at fault. With our help, you can fight for just compensation from the liable party.

Common Car Accident Injuries

Injuries After a Car Accident

Car accident injuries can vary widely in degrees of severity. All injuries - from whiplash to fractures, bruising to paralysis - may warrant compensation when they've been caused by someone's negligence. With the help of Metzger Wickersham, you can see if you are eligible for compensation and pursue your rights with a team of skilled attorneys and other legal professionals. We are wholly dedicated to the success of our clients and will fight tirelessly on their behalf.

Injuries suffered as a result of auto accidents can include:

• Spinal cord injury
• Brain damage
• Broken bones
• Whiplash
• Internal injuries
• Other catastrophic injuries

If eligible for compensation, you may be able to obtain damages that cover medical expenses, lost wages, and more. Our accident attorneys in Pennsylvania can present you with your legal options.

Passenger Injuries

If you were injured as a passenger in a motor vehicle accident, you may have a claim against all at-fault parties; this includes the operators of any of the cars involved in the accident. However, if you get into a car knowing that the driver is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you may have "assumed the risk" of being in an accident.

Pedestrian Injuries

If you are injured as a pedestrian, you may be eligible for compensation for your injuries. Remember to get as much information as possible regarding the accident.

Be sure to take note of the following:

• Names and contact information of witnesses
• Names and insurance information of the drivers involved

In addition, be prepared to answer questions about whether or not you followed traffic rules, used proper crossing locations, and other safety concerns. Although pedestrians often have the right of way, supporting evidence will be necessary in order to prove that the driver involved in the accident acted negligently.

Backed by a legacy of success since 1888, our firm can capably represent your rights. Call (888) 286-2850 to learn more about your case today. All calls are answered 24/7!
