Allentown Car Accident Attorney

A car accident can negatively impact every aspect of your life. From the loss of a vehicle to the cost of property damage, and from extensive medical bills to the inability to work, you may discover that your post-car accident days are riddled with mounting expenses and dwindling cash flow. In more severe cases, you may discover that your injuries are long-term or, worse yet, permanent, and that you will require ongoing care. Whatever the case, you do not need or deserve to have to cover the cost of damages caused by another negligent driver. If your car accident was the fault of somebody else, reach out to a qualified Allentown car accident attorney at van der Veen, Hartshorn, Levin & Lindheim to learn more about your legal options and about how we can help you get back on your feet.

Types of Auto Accidents and Available Compensation in Allentown, PA

Auto accidents take many shapes and forms, some of which can be more devastating than others. For instance, truck and motorcycle accidents do not occur nearly as often as passenger vehicle accidents, but the fatality/disability to incident ratio for these types of accidents is much higher than that of passenger vehicles. That said, most types of auto accidents result in some type of damage, whether that may be property damage, injuries, financial loss, or all three. If you were involved in an auto accident—whether it be a truck, motorcycle, car, or even pedestrian accident—you may be able to recover compensation for damages sustained. Contact an experienced auto accident lawyer in Allentown, PA at van der Veen, Hartshorn, Levin & Lindheim to learn more about your options and to see what you can do to recover compensation as quickly and as painlessly as possible.

Why Retain the Help of an Experienced Auto Accident Lawyer in Allentown, PA?

If you ask most car accident victims about who caused their accidents, many will likely tell you, without hesitation, that the other party did. This is not abnormal. Plaintiffs generally see things as very black and white: they were injured; injuries would not have occurred had the other party not been present; therefore, the other party must be at fault and liable for all damages. Unfortunately, that is not how the justice system works. In fact, the justice system relies on shades of gray to come to fair and final conclusions. A skilled Allentown car accident lawyer understands this and uses the nuances of the law to his or her client’s advantage.

Successfully pursuing a car accident claim involves many steps, some of the most important of which are outlined below:

  • Investigation: A thorough investigation is essential to the outcome of a car accident claim. Without the proper medical records, police reports, and crime scene photographs, your case may be a single piece of evidence shy from winning. The right attorney knows which stones to upturn and exactly what evidence to look for in order to build a strong and undeniable case.
  • Identifying All Liable Parties: Most accident victims assume that they know who is liable for their injuries and damages—the other driver. However, sometimes multiple parties may be liable for accidents. This occurs when the other driver is an on-the-clock employee who caused an accident while performing a work-related responsibility, or when a part failed due to lack of maintenance and manufacturer defect. The right lawyer can help you identify all liable parties and ensure that you recover from each of them.
  • Securing Compensation: Finally, a skilled lawyer can help you secure the compensation you need and deserve to recover in comfort after your accident. Whether this means negotiating for a fair settlement outside of court or going to trial once negotiations have failed, an experienced attorney will aggressively advocate on your behalf until the end.

Too many people hesitate to contact an Allentown car accident attorney after a crash, often wondering if working with a lawyer is absolutely necessary. While working with a lawyer is not necessary, per se, it is wise. A skilled lawyer can improve your chances of recovery tenfold, and also can fight to increase the amount of compensation the insurance company would have otherwise paid. A skilled lawyer can help you to increase your odds of success and maximize your amount of recovery.
