Metzger Wickersham

FAQ Pottsville Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

  1. What should I do right after being hit as a pedestrian? Call 911 and get medical attention—even if injuries seem minor. Then document everything (photos, witness info, driver info) and contact Metzger Wickersham for a free case evaluation. We can help preserve critical evidence and protect your rights.
  2. Do pedestrians always have the right of way in Pennsylvania? Not always. While drivers have a legal duty to watch out for pedestrians, whether you had the right of way depends on the location and circumstances. That said, negligence often plays a role, and our team can help prove the driver’s responsibility.
  3. What kind of compensation can I recover? You may be able to recover medical bills, future treatment costs, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and emotional distress—depending on your injury.
  4. How long do I have to file a claim? Pennsylvania has a statute of limitations on personal injury claims, so it’s important to act quickly. Our pedestrian accident attorneys know the deadlines and will make sure your case is filed properly and on time.
  5. Do I have to pay anything up-front to hire Metzger Wickersham? No. We work on a contingency fee basis—meaning you don’t pay attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you.
  6. Can Metzger Wickersham handle my case if I live in Pottsville? Yes. We have an office in Pottsville at 1510 Route 61 Hwy S, Suite 100.  Our team can also meet you in the hospital or at home if needed.
  7. Why choose Metzger Wickersham for a pedestrian accident case? We bring more than 135 years of experience, a dedicated support staff, and the resources to fight insurance companies. We treat every client like family, offering 24/7 access and personalized attention.
