BACK TO ARTICLES

Our Berks County car accident lawyers help victims of negligent drivers recover compensation for injuries, medical expenses, and other losses after serious crashes.

Car accidents can happen in a moment, but the impact can last a lifetime. From physical injuries to financial stress, the aftermath of a serious crash can leave victims overwhelmed and uncertain of what to do next. At Wilk Law Firm, we stand by those who’ve been injured in car accidents across Berks County, helping them recover the compensation they deserve and rebuild their lives.

Our experienced Berks County car accident attorneys handle every aspect of your claim — from investigating the crash to negotiating with insurance companies — so you can focus on healing.

Common Causes of Car Accidents in Berks County

Even the most careful driver can fall victim to someone else’s negligence. Many crashes in Berks County are caused by:

  • Distracted driving, including texting or GPS use
  • Speeding and reckless behavior behind the wheel
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Fatigued or drowsy driving
  • Failure to yield or obey traffic signals
  • Unsafe lane changes or tailgating
  • Poor road or weather conditions

Whether your accident occurred on Route 422, the Penn Street Bridge, or a local neighborhood road, our legal team knows how to uncover the truth, prove fault, and pursue justice for your losses.

Types of Car Accident Injuries

Car accidents can result in a wide range of injuries — from mild to catastrophic. Some of the most common include:

  • Whiplash and neck injuries
  • Back and spinal cord injuries
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Internal organ damage
  • Cuts, bruises, and burns
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement

No matter how serious your injuries, you should not be left to bear the financial burden of someone else’s carelessness. Our firm ensures that every cost — both current and future — is considered in your claim.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Berks County

The moments after a crash can be chaotic, but taking the right steps can protect your health and your case:

  1. Call 911 and seek immediate medical attention.
  2. Exchange information with the other driver but avoid discussing fault.
  3. Document the scene by taking photos of the vehicles, road, and surroundings.
  4. Obtain a copy of the police report.
  5. Contact a Berks County car accident lawyer before speaking to insurance adjusters.

Insurance companies may try to pressure you into a quick, low settlement. Don’t sign anything until you’ve spoken with an attorney who can evaluate your claim.

Compensation Available in a Car Accident Claim

If you were injured in a car accident, you may be entitled to recover compensation for:

  • Medical bills and rehabilitation costs
  • Lost income and reduced earning capacity
  • Property damage
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement

At Wilk Law Firm, we pursue the maximum compensation available under Pennsylvania law — and we don’t back down from insurance companies that try to minimize your claim.
