Car Accident Injuries in Pennsylvania

If you’ve been injured in an auto accident in Pennsylvania, ZwickLaw will help you and your family pursue a personal injury claim to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Understanding the legal process is crucial to building a strong case.

Here’s a concise overview of the steps involved:

• Seek Medical Attention Immediately

Your health is the priority. Even if injuries seem minor, you should seek medical care promptly. Your medical records and documentation from healthcare providers will serve as critical evidence linking your injuries to the accident.

• Consult Zwick Law Regarding Your Rights

Navigating Pennsylvania’s legal system can be complex. An attorney at ZwickLaw can evaluate your case, negotiate with insurance companies, and ensure you meet critical deadlines, such as the two-year statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit in Pennsylvania.

• Report the Accident

Pennsylvania law requires drivers to report accidents involving injuries or significant property damage to the police. A police report provides an official record of the incident, which is valuable for your claim.

• Gather Evidence

ZwickLaw can help you collect as much evidence as possible, including photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and your injuries. Obtain contact information from witnesses and keep records of medical bills, repair costs, and other expenses. This evidence strengthens your case when proving liability and damages.

• File an Insurance Claim

ZwickLaw will assist you in notifying your insurance company and the at-fault party’s insurer about the accident. Pennsylvania is a “choice no-fault” state, meaning you can choose whether to file a claim under your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage or pursue a claim against the at-fault driver. An experienced attorney can help you decide the best approach based on the severity of your injuries and the circumstances of the accident.

• Maximize your Settlement or File a Lawsuit

ZwickLaw’s injury lawyers will negotiate to secure fair compensation for your medical costs, lost income, and other damages. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, your attorney may recommend filing a lawsuit to pursue your claim in court.

• Maximize your Recovery with ZwickLaw

If your claim is successful, ZwickLaw will fight for you to ensure that you receive full compensation for economic damages (e.g., medical bills, lost wages) and non-economic damages (e.g., pain and suffering, emotional trauma, loss of enjoyment of life). In rare cases involving egregious conduct, punitive damages may also be awarded.
