What should I do after an accident?
The most important consideration in the aftermath of an accident is the safety of those involved. The first priority is for injured parties to receive medical attention. Police should also be called to the scene of the accident if there are serious injuries or significant vehicular damages. The police report is an important document that our auto accident lawyers often use to help build a successful case.

Other steps to follow after an accident include asking the other parties for their insurance and driver’s license information and notifying your insurance company that an accident has occurred.

What if I believe I'm at fault?
Automobile accidents often occur in the blink of an eye. It’s often difficult, if not impossible, for victims to remember exactly how or why an accident occurred. This is especially true for those who are hurt or emotionally distraught. The best course of action is never to admit guilt or suggest that you were in any way responsible. Our auto accident lawyers will interview witnesses and work with police and accident reconstruction experts to determine who is to blame for the accident. We will be by your side, providing counsel throughout the entire process, as the truth is uncovered and your rights are upheld.
What if the other driver is uninsured or underinsured?
There are several ways to ensure that you receive the compensation that you deserve if the party who is responsible for the accident is uninsured or underinsured. First, our auto accident lawyers will determine whether the guilty party has any personal assets that can be seized. In cases in which uninsured drivers are the dependents of policyholders who are insured, settlements can be obtained from these insurance policies. Lastly, if you have uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage then you will be able to recover damages under the terms of your own insurance policy.
What compensation can I obtain?
Our auto accident lawyers are fully versed in the laws of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. We know what it takes to obtain the maximum possible compensation in each state, including money for medical bills, lost wages, loss of property, and other damages. Insurance companies often take advantage of individuals who are not represented and try to offer them a lower amount than what their claim is actually worth. We have successfully negotiated with many different insurance companies to ensure that that our clients receive the compensation they deserve. At our Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, New York, or New Jersey offices, one of our auto, trucking, and car accident lawyers can help you obtain just and fair financial compensation for your injuries.
Should I hire a lawyer?
In the event that you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a car accident, a skilled attorney can help ensure that you receive a large settlement from your insurance company and/or the guilty party’s insurance company. The physical and emotional costs of auto accidents are high, but insurance companies try to make money by keeping their payouts low. It’s important to contact an attorney so that you are able to receive the maximum possible compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
How much does legal counsel cost?
At Locks Law, our New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based auto and trucking accident lawyers do not charge for our services unless we successfully recover damages on your behalf. If we do succeed in obtaining financial compensation for you, then the fees for our services will be a pre-determined percentage of the amount that you are awarded.
