FAQ Shippensburg Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
1. What should I do immediately after a pedestrian accident?
Right after an accident, focus first on your health — seek medical attention even if injuries seem minor. Then, if possible, document the scene: take photos, note driver information, and collect witness names. Finally, call our Metzger Wickersham office in Shippensburg (or toll-free at (888) 707-7704) for a free consultation.2. Why should I hire Metzger Wickersham for my pedestrian injury case?
We bring over 135 years of legal experience and a deep commitment to clients. Our personal injury team has the resources, support staff, and trial expertise to handle serious, complex pedestrian accident cases. We also work on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.3. What kinds of compensation can I recover after being hit as a pedestrian?
Depending on your case, you may be able to recover:- Medical bills (past and future)
- Lost wages or reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering or emotional distress
- Costs for in-home care, therapy, or long-term assistance
4. Who can be held responsible in a pedestrian accident claim?
Liability may lie with a negligent driver — for example, someone texting, driving aggressively, running a red light, or failing to yield to pedestrians. In some cases, third parties may share responsibility, such as if there was a roadway defect that contributed to the crash.5. Do pedestrians always have the right of way in Pennsylvania?
No — not always. While pedestrians often have the right of way (especially at crosswalks or un-signaled intersections), the law also requires pedestrians to act with care. Drivers, however, have a strong duty to watch for pedestrians, yield when required, and drive safely.6. How long do I have to file a pedestrian accident claim in Pennsylvania?
In Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims — including pedestrian accidents — is two years from the date of the accident. It’s important to act quickly so evidence doesn’t disappear and your rights stay protected.7. Will I need to go to court, or can the case be settled?
Many pedestrian accident cases are resolved through negotiation with insurance companies, but we always prepare to go to trial if that’s what your case requires. At Metzger Wickersham, our team is ready to fiercely advocate for you — whichever path gives you the best chance at full compensation.
