Best Lancaster Car-Accident Lawyers
When we leave our homes in the morning, we typically do not think about getting into a car accident. However, Pennsylvania’s Department of Transportation reports nearly 105,000 vehicles crashes happened in 2020, resulting in more than 1,000 fatalities and 61,000 serious injuries. Surprisingly, most of those accidents had nothing to do with bad road conditions. Instead, they were due to driver carelessness, negligence or recklessness.
It’s traumatic enough to be involved in a serious auto accident, but often making the matters worse are the insurance companies who are working against the injured to protect their bottom line. Many car accident victims realize too late that insurance companies are working hard to keep them from receiving large, and fair, settlement offers. Often, insurance companies pull together their vast resources to accomplish one or more of several things: settle the bodily injury case quickly and for less money than it is worth; enlist investigators, attorneys and others to gather information detrimental to the value of the claim; or, deny the validity of the motor vehicle accident claim, altogether, hoping that an accident victim gets discouraged and walks away from their legal right to compensation.
If you qualify for a financial recovery from a car accident, you want a strong and experienced legal advocate on your side. That means you need to find the best team of Lancaster car accident lawyers who will aggressively fight for your rights and work towards securing maximum financial compensation for you and your family for the damages and losses you suffered. Enter Georgelis, Larsen & Sabatino Injury Law Firm, P.C.… As seasoned personal injury and accident attorneys, we help our Lancaster, PA clients navigate the complex maze of nuances involved with accident and personal injury cases, of all types.
Insurance Companies Aren’t on Your Side
As would be expected, our Lancaster clients have many questions concerning what to expect regarding the outcomes of their cases. One thing is certain from the very start: as our client, you will not fall victim to any insurance company who might attempt to minimize what you are legally entitled to receive. Insurance companies have a number of strategies they use to try and entice injured parties to agree to quick, low-ball settlement offers.
One such tactic is to encourage claimants to agree to a recorded statement regarding their accident. Insurance representatives are hoping claimants will say something that could jeopardize the strength and value of their claim. Also, an insurance representative may advise you to not seek a car accident lawyer, at all – and the reason could not be more clear…

Never Ignore Your Injuries
There are some injuries related to car accidents that are clear-cut such as broken bones or fractures, burns, muscle and ligament tears or dismemberment. On the other hand, there are injuries that may not surface until later such as an internal injury, soft-tissues injuries, spinal disc injuries or a brain injury that does not display immediate symptoms. With some brain injuries, symptoms can be difficult to detect and can develop slowly, over time, and lead to long-term problems. Even a mild blow to the head can result in a brain injury.
With some car-accident injuries, the human body will immediately generate adrenaline and endorphins. Adrenaline and endorphins have the ability to supercharge one’s body and block the pain. Because of this, even if pain or trauma is not felt, it is imperative that you see a doctor right away, even if you believe you are fine. When you see a medical professional, explain exactly how the accident occurred and go head-to-toe explaining which body parts were involved in the trauma or are symptomatic to any degree.
When filing a car-accident injury claim, it is imperative to include documentation of medical treatment following the accident. If no medical report is available, the insurance company will argue that your injuries were minor or non-existent. Without a medical report your claim could very likely be denied.
Following an accident, the other party’s insurance company may attempt to have you sign a release of any claims you might have. That could be coupled with a sum of money to entice you to sign the release – do not fall for this trap!
If you were to sign a release and an injury were to manifest itself more fully later on, you will have voided your legal right to pursue further financial compensation for your injuries. Your very best option is to contact our car-accident lawyers before you speak with any insurance company representative! As our client, our team will handle all communications with any insurance companies, on your behalf, so you can relax and focus on your recovery.

It cannot be emphasized enough: how you handle your car-accident claim during the initial aftermath of the accident will most likely determine how you benefit, financially, in the end.

Unfortunately, car accidents happen all the time. Our experience makes the difference in compensation when it comes to vehicle accidents of all types, including:
Car Accidents – Vehicle Crashes
A car accident might involve a truck, SUV, semi, commercial van, cycle, or other type of vehicle. Vehicle collisions and crashes happen for a multitude of reasons: the other party is intoxicated, being distracted, dealing with poor road conditions, or is simply being careless or reckless.
Regardless, the insurance company will waste no time in working to limit what it might have to pay to car-accident victims! Our car-accident lawyers will fight any insurance company which would attempt to limit your full financial recovery. Give us a call to discuss your claim!
Car Accidents – Motorcycle & Bicycle Collisions
Are your accident-related injuries due to your car being hit by a motorcycle or a bicycle? Were you a pedestrian or bicyclist who was struck by a motorcycle or other vehicle? Our accident lawyers possess a commanding knowledge of the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Code, and we will examine every nuance related to your case. We will take up the battle against insurance-company attorneys who will work behind the scenes to limit your monetary recoveries. As your potent legal ally, we have your back!
Car Accidents – Pedestrian Mishaps
Pedestrians must obey the rules of the road just as much as those who are behind the wheel. Jaywalking, texting while walking, or running through traffic can lead to tragedies. When pedestrians fail to take oncoming traffic seriously, drivers of oncoming cars may have no opportunity to stop in time.
Any injuries you have received due to your car accident—as a pedestrian, motorcyclist or passenger of a private or commercial truck, bus, van, SUV or other vehicle—can lead to medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. You want car-accident lawyers who will fight for every financial recovery you are due!
Car Accidents – Distracted Driving
Distracted-driving accidents can happen easily when motorists use their mobile phones while behind the wheel. If your car accident involved a distracted driver, the other party’s phone data can be the critical piece of evidence regarding your accident that could determine who was at fault. Our car-accident lawyers can utilize mobile-phone evidence, if relevant, to strengthen the defense of your case.
Other distractions, besides mobile-phone usage, can be equally problematic. While driving, any number of situations can take one’s mind or vision off the road just long enough to cause a collision with another vehicle – eating, searching for a lost item, dealing with a child in the back seat, using headphones, etc. Our legal team is ready to partner with you to make sure your rights are protected!
Car Accidents – Work-Time Incidents
You may have been traveling in a car or other vehicle during the course and scope of your employment. In this case, your claim would be handled differently than a traditional auto accident. In cases like these, Pennsylvania’s workers’ compensation system does not permit claimants to recover, or be compensated for, non-economic losses unless there is a third-party liability.
First, non-economic legal damages are intended to make up for losses that are not specifically quantifiable, such as pain and suffering, or loss of enjoyment of life. If an injury prevents one from playing with grandchildren or participating in sports, for example, it may be taken into account when calculating non-economic damages.
Second, if an entity, other than your employer, can be held legally liable for your losses and damages, our car-accident lawyers will work to maximize your recovery on the third-party bodily-injury component of your claim as well as the workers’ compensation component.
