"Accidents" is really the wrong word to describe most car crashes. That's because people often sustain a serious injury or die because someone else made a careless or reckless choice. Their negligence caused the "accident." As a result, victims often face significant medical bills, loss of wages, pain and suffering and mental anguish. They're often worried about their future. With so much at stake, it's wise to consult with an experienced lawyer. On your own, you may get less than you deserve. Understand this: Insurance companies are represented by aggressive lawyers whose primary focus is to find a reason to deny your claim.

What should I do if I'm in an auto accident in Pennsylvania?
We strongly recommend accident victims take the following steps after a car accident:
- Call the police immediately and ask them to respond to your accident.
- Get the full name, address, phone number and insurance information from the other driver.
- Take photographs of your accident, including damage to either vehicle.
- Talk to witnesses and get their full names and phone numbers.
- Take notes. Every detail about your accident matters.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
What if the other driver flees the scene of my car accident?
Call the police immediately and write down as much information as you can about the car that caused your accident. Make sure to write down the color of the car, the make, model, and license plate number if you can remember it. Every detail matters.
What if the driver who caused my auto accident has no insurance?
Call the police and request that they respond to your accident. It's against the law to drive a car without insurance in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. O'Malley & Langan also can review your own insurance policy to explore your options. You may be able to recover financial compensation by making an uninsured motorist claim.
Should I see a doctor if I don't think I'm injured after my car accident?
Yes. You could have a life-threatening injury, such as an internal injury or a head injury. Some injuries are not apparent immediately after an accident. Let a doctor decide whether you're healthy after your auto accident.
Should I notify my insurance company if I'm in an auto accident?
Yes, you will need to call your carrier to notify them that you have been in a car accident. But you should be careful what you tell them. You can stick to general facts, such as the date, time, location of the accident and the names and address of those who were involved. Do not discuss the issue of fault and don't give them any recorded statement until after you have consulted with an attorney.
Should I accept an offer from an insurance company for my car accident?
In most cases, the first offer insurance companies make to accident victims does not even come close to covering the true cost of a car accident. Make sure you discuss any financial offers with an experienced auto accident attorney.
Can I request more money to cover the cost of my car accident?
Yes. You have the power to negotiate with insurance companies after your auto accident. However, it's important to understand that the insurance company representing the other driver will likely have several attorneys working for them in an effort to keep payments to you to a minimum. That's why it's important to level the playing field by retaining an experienced lawyer.
Can I file a car accident lawsuit to obtain more money for my accident?
In many cases, you can file a personal injury lawsuit to obtain compensation for your auto accident. Every accident is different, though. So, make sure you discuss the details of your case with a lawyer before deciding whether to take legal action against the insurance company or another party after your accident.
Why should I hire a Pennsylvania auto accident attorney to help with my accident?
There are so many reasons why you should hire a lawyer to handle your car accident in Pennsylvania. An experienced attorney can investigate your accident, negotiate directly with the insurance company and help you take any legal action to obtain the compensation you rightfully deserve. Our attorneys have the experience and resources needed to help clients recover, physically and financially. The law allows you to pursue compensation for things like lost income, medical bills, vehicle repair and other "damages." Remember, you didn't do anything wrong. You shouldn't have to pay for someone else's mistake. Contact O'Malley & Langan right now. We can help. Call (866) 326-0100 and schedule a free case evaluation.
