The Hazards Behind Most Whitehall Crashes
Understanding what caused your accident is key to proving liability. We commonly see:
- Drivers texting, eating, or checking GPS
- Speeding and ignoring traffic signs
- Failing to yield at intersections
- Driving under the influence
- Hazardous road conditions or vehicle defects
- Aggressive or reckless driving
No matter the cause, we’ll find out what happened and who should pay for it.

From hospital visits to follow-up care, we ensure every cost is covered, including missed paychecks.
Pain and Emotional Suffering
This includes physical pain, emotional trauma, and changes in your daily life.
Punitive Damages
In cases of extreme negligence, courts may award damages to hold the driver accountable.

Whitehall Township Car Accident FAQs
How long do I have to file a claim?
Pennsylvania gives you two years from the date of the crash. It’s best to start early while evidence is still fresh.
Can I still recover if I was partly at fault?
Yes. As long as you’re less than 51% at fault, you can still pursue compensation. Your recovery may be reduced by your share of fault.
What if the other driver fled the scene?
We investigate and may help you file an uninsured motorist claim if the driver can’t be located.
Will my case go to trial?
Most don’t. We often resolve cases through negotiation, but we prepare every case as if it will go to court.
Should I accept the insurance company’s offer?
Not without speaking to a lawyer first. Early offers are often too low to cover your real needs.
