Auto Accidents

Serious auto accidents can be traumatic experiences that can devastate a family, both personally and financially. There are more than 6.4 million car accidents in the United States every year. Even the best drivers cannot always anticipate the negligent acts of others. A Pennsylvania auto accident lawyer helps auto accident victims to receive just compensation.

Based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Haggerty & Silverman's auto accident attorneys represent victims involved in automobile accidents, frequently involving drunk driving, hit-and-run, uninsured or underinsured drivers, defective airbags, SUV rollovers, defective seatbelts, defective tires, dangerous roads and conditions, bicycle accidents, accidents arising from the use of cell phones while driving and pedestrian accidents.

Our Lancaster attorneys understand that there can be a number of factors that determine fault in an accident. Negligence and reckless driving are most often cited as the cause of automobile accidents. A driver who negligently or recklessly operates a vehicle may be responsible to pay for any damages to person or property caused by his or her behavior. You should also call Pennsylvania accident lawyers if you believe that your accident may have been caused by a defective automobile part, as the manufacturer or others may be responsible under a legal theory known as product liability. A product liability suit is a lawsuit brought against the seller or manufacturer of a product for making a defective product that caused injury to a consumer or user. Other factors, such as poorly maintained roads and malfunctioning traffic signals, can contribute to the cause of an accident. Improper design, construction, signage, lighting, and other highway defects can cause major accidents. Lastly, if an accident is caused by a drunk driver, the bar or facility may be liable for damages if they served a visibly intoxicated guest who then got behind the wheel of a car.

The auto accident lawyers at Haggerty & Silverman use their experience and professional relationships with experts to investigate every possible contributing cause of an accident to be sure that you receive full compensation for your injuries. We will take over the management of your case investigation so you can focus on your recovery.
