Car Accident Lawyer FAQ Philadelphia
1. What should I do right after a car accident in Philadelphia?
Check for injuries, call 911, exchange insurance details, photograph the scene, get medical care, and contact us before speaking in depth with the other driver’s insurer.
2. Do I need a lawyer for a car accident claim in Pennsylvania?
Not legally—but yes, it’s strongly recommended. We protect your rights, handle insurers, and help prevent low early settlements.
3. How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in Pennsylvania?
Most claims must be filed within two years of the accident. Missing the deadline can bar recovery.
4. What compensation can I recover through your firm?
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.
5. What if I was partly at fault for the accident?
You can still recover if you’re 50% or less at fault—your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
6. How do your fees work for a car accident case?
We work on a contingency fee basis: no upfront costs, and you owe no attorney’s fees unless we recover money for you.
7. Will my case go to trial?
Many cases settle, but we prepare every case for trial so we’re ready if the insurer won’t make a fair offer.
8. What if the other driver is uninsured or underinsured?
We review your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage and explore all available options to maximize your recovery.
9. I felt fine after the crash—do I still have a case?
Yes. Some injuries appear later. Get medical care and let us evaluate your claim as soon as possible.
