Despite a number of technological advances supposedly designed to prevent car accidents and make vehicles safer, car accidents happen every day. When a car accident causes the driver or passengers to suffer serious injuries, the emotional and physical toll caused by the accident can be extremely overwhelming. Unfortunately, establishing liability after a serious car accident that causes injuries can be much more complex than it may initially appear.

Erie County, which was named for Lake Erie, is one of the largest counties in Pennsylvania. Originally settled in the early 1800s, a large portion of Erie County was taken from Allegheny County. In the late 1700s, significant disputes arose as to whether Erie County belonged to New York or Pennsylvania and required the federal government’s intervention to resolve. Today, Erie County is the 11th most highly populated municipality in the state of Pennsylvania and is home to about 280,566 residents. A number of major highways cross through Erie County, including I-79, I-86, and I-90.
FAQ: How is the value of my car accident case determined in Erie County? +
The value of the compensation that may be available in your case depends upon the overall strength of the case, which is influenced by a number of different factors. The overall severity of your injuries will be a primary factor in determining how much compensation you may eventually be entitled to receive—if your injuries are especially severe and/or it is anticipated that those injuries will be permanent, the value of your case will likely be higher. The strength of the evidence against the negligent driver who caused the accident will also be important, especially in a car accident case in which we pursue compensation outside of the insurance system. Importantly, our firm handles all types of car accident cases and we can help you understand the monetary value of your specific case.
FAQ: The at-fault driver’s insurance company has asked for access to my medical records so that they can form a settlement offer. Should I provide them with access? +
Before giving anyone access to your medical records after a car accident, you should first speak to an experienced car accident lawyer. Allowing the insurance adjuster unfettered access to your medical information can harm your case in ways that may initially be difficult to anticipate—in other words, the insurance company may use the information contained in your medical records against you to minimize their own financial liability. Our lawyers will first evaluate your case and determine the medical information that it is appropriate to share in order to protect your best interests.
