What to do After a Car Accident in Harrisburg, PA

We’re on Your Side

If you have been injured in an auto accident, this may be the first time you have dealt with issues such as PIP, no-fault insurance, and uninsured or underinsured motorist insurance. That inexperience can be costly.

We Answer Your Questions and Explain Your Rights

At the law firm of Shollenberger Januzzi & Wolfe, LLP, we offer a free initial consultation to explain your rights and answer your questions. If you bring your insurance information, we’ll explain how to file a PIP claim. We will do this without cost or obligation. With offices in Harrisburg and Enola, we represent clients throughout central Pennsylvania.

Here is some information you need to know right away if you are injured in an accident:

  1. Obtain medical care immediately and follow your doctor’s orders for follow-up care. If you don’t obtain medical care or continue your treatment, the other driver’s insurance company will claim that you were not injured or that your injuries were not serious.
  2. Obtain the names and contact information of any witnesses. This may be important in establishing liability.
  3. Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company without legal advice. Anything you say could be used against you.
  4. Take pictures of the accident scene and your damaged vehicle, or have someone else do this for you.
  5. Do not accept any checks or sign any releases without legal advice. You could end up giving up your rights to seek full compensation.
  6. If the other driver lacks insurance to pay your damages, get a lawyer’s help. You may be entitled to file a claim against your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage.
  7. Finally, talk to a lawyer about your case. Do not rely on information you receive from friends or the Internet. Your circumstances may differ, and only an experienced attorney can give you advice after knowing the facts of your case.
