Delaware County Car Accident Attorney

BACK TO ARTICLES

Our Delaware County car accident lawyers help victims recover compensation after crashes caused by negligent or reckless drivers.

A car accident can turn your life upside down in a matter of seconds. Medical bills, physical pain, and lost wages can quickly become overwhelming — especially when you weren’t at fault. At Wilk Law Firm, our Delaware County car accident lawyers stand up for crash victims and their families, fighting for the compensation they deserve while helping them navigate one of the most difficult times in their lives.

If you’ve been hurt in a car accident in Delaware County, you deserve more than an insurance company’s quick settlement offer. You deserve full and fair compensation — and a team of experienced attorneys who will not back down until justice is served.

Common Causes of Car Accidents in Delaware County

Even the safest drivers can be involved in accidents caused by someone else’s carelessness. Common causes of crashes include:

  • Distracted driving, including texting or using a cell phone
  • Speeding or aggressive driving
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Drowsy or fatigued driving
  • Failure to yield or obey traffic signals
  • Unsafe lane changes and tailgating
  • Poor weather or road conditions

Delaware County’s busy roads — such as I-95, Route 1, and Baltimore Pike — see hundreds of serious accidents every year. Our legal team has the experience and resources to investigate crashes, prove fault, and hold negligent drivers accountable.

Types of Car Accident Injuries

Car crashes can cause injuries ranging from minor to life-altering. At Wilk Law Firm, we’ve helped clients suffering from:

  • Whiplash and neck injuries
  • Spinal cord and back injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Internal bleeding or organ damage
  • Burns, cuts, and lacerations
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement

We understand how devastating these injuries can be — physically, emotionally, and financially — and we fight to ensure every aspect of your loss is compensated.

Steps to Take After a Car Accident

What you do immediately after a car accident can significantly impact your case. Here’s how to protect your rights:

  1. Call 911 and seek medical attention, even for minor injuries.
  2. Exchange information with all drivers involved, but don’t admit fault.
  3. Document the scene with photos and witness information.
  4. Get a copy of the police accident report.
  5. Contact an experienced Delaware County car accident lawyer before speaking with insurers.

Insurance companies are skilled at minimizing payouts. Having a skilled attorney ensures your rights and your future are protected.

Recoverable Compensation in a Car Accident Claim

If you’ve been injured in a car crash, you may be entitled to recover compensation for:

  • Medical bills and ongoing treatment costs
  • Lost wages and reduced earning potential
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage
  • Emotional distress
  • Permanent injury or disfigurement

Our Delaware County attorneys build strong cases backed by evidence and expert testimony to pursue maximum compensation under Pennsylvania law.
