Auto Accident Attorneys

Camp Hill, Shippensburg, Chambersburg, Carlisle, Mechanicsburg, Newville

The statistics on auto accidents are very sobering. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration states that an auto accident occurs every 10 seconds in this country, and someone dies in one every 12 minutes. Over 40,000 people die each year from auto accidents.

Each year, there are millions of car accidents across the country, resulting in hundreds of billions of dollars in damage. It is no wonder that auto accident claims are one of the most common areas of personal injury law practice.

Read about what Steps to Take After a Car Accident.

Receiving Compensation for Your Damages

If you are a driver, passenger, or pedestrian involved in an auto accident, you are entitled to compensation for your damages if the accident was caused by the negligence of another. You may be able to receive compensation for:

• Serious injuries
• Medical expenses
• Loss of income
• Pain and suffering

Determining Negligence

Several factors are considered when determining negligence in an auto accident, including:

• The driver's speed
• The weather conditions at the time of the accident
• Failure to obey traffic signals or signs
• Failure to follow proper vehicle operating procedures
• Whether or not the driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol

Who Pays for your Injuries?

If someone else is determined to be at fault for the accident, his insurance company is responsible for paying for your personal injury and property damage. If you are responsible for the accident, your insurance company will pay for any property damage or injuries to others involved.

It is important to consult with an experienced auto accident attorney before accepting a settlement from an insurance company. Settlement offers from insurance companies often will not provide you with fair compensation for your injuries. An experienced attorney will have the skills to negotiate with insurance companies so that you receive the best possible settlement.

If you have sustained serious injuries from the accident that will force you to miss work and potentially require long-term medical treatment, it is essential that you retain proper representation. These claims are considerably more complex, since it will be necessary to estimate future medical expenses and lost wages.
