FAQ Williamsport Car Accident Lawyer
1. What should I do immediately after a car accident?
After a crash, your health comes first—seek medical attention even if you feel okay. Then report the accident, exchange insurance information, take photos of the scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries, and keep copies of all medical bills and records. Metzger Wickersham recommends contacting us as soon as possible so we can begin gathering evidence and protecting your rights.
2. Why should I hire a lawyer for my car accident claim in Williamsport?
Insurance companies often try to reduce or deny valid claims. Metzger Wickersham has decades of experience handling auto accident cases throughout Pennsylvania. We review police reports, medical records, negotiate with insurance companies, and if necessary, take your case to trial to seek the full compensation you deserve.
3. How much time do I have to file a claim after an accident in Pennsylvania?
In Pennsylvania, you generally have two years from the date of the accident—or from when you first discovered your injury—to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline can prevent you from recovering compensation. This is why it’s important to act quickly and contact Metzger Wickersham right away.
4. What kinds of damages can I recover in a car accident case?
You may be able to recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and other losses caused by another party’s negligence. Metzger Wickersham evaluates every potential avenue of recovery, whether your crash was considered “minor” or involved serious injuries.
5. What if I live in or around Williamsport but was injured somewhere else in Pennsylvania?

No matter where your crash occurred in the state, if negligence was involved, we can help. You’ll receive the same dedicated representation from Metzger Wickersham’s experienced legal team.
