Metzger Wickersham

FAQ Williamsport Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

  1. What should I do immediately after being hit as a pedestrian? First, seek medical attention—even if injuries seem minor. Then, call the police to make a report and collect information (driver, witnesses, insurance). Finally, reach out to Metzger Wickersham for a free case evaluation; we can guide you on preserving evidence and protecting your rights.
  2. Can Metzger Wickersham handle my pedestrian accident case in Williamsport? Yes. We have a dedicated personal injury team at our Williamsport office and represent clients across Pennsylvania, including pedestrian-accident victims.
  3. How does liability work in a pedestrian accident? Pedestrian accidents often result from driver negligence, such as distracted driving, speeding, or failing to yield. Our lawyers investigate the crash, determine who is at fault, and hold the responsible parties accountable.
  4. What kinds of compensation can I recover? You may be eligible for medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and more. Metzger Wickersham fights to recover maximum compensation for your injuries.
  5. How long do I have to file a claim for a pedestrian accident? In Pennsylvania, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit.
  6. What if I contributed to the accident? Even if you were partially at fault, you may still recover damages. Pennsylvania follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning your compensation may be reduced by your share of fault but not barred if your part is under 51%.
  7. Do I need to pay upfront to hire Metzger Wickersham? No. We work on a contingency-fee basis—you only pay attorney’s fees if we recover compensation for you.
  8. Will my case go to trial? It depends. Many pedestrian-accident cases settle out of court, but our firm is ready to take the case to trial if needed. We have the experience and resources to litigate aggressively.
  9. Why choose Metzger Wickersham for my pedestrian accident claim? We have more than 135 years of experience, a strong support team, and a proven track record. Our Williamsport office gives us local presence, while our statewide resources allow for robust representation.
