What To Do After An Accident
In the days following an accident, it can be difficult to know what steps to take. Focusing on your health and preserving important information can help protect both your recovery and any potential claim.
- Get medical care as soon as possible and follow your provider’s instructions
- Report the incident to police or the responsible business or property owner when appropriate
- Collect names and contact information of witnesses, if it is safe to do so
- Take photos of the scene, vehicles, and visible injuries (or ask someone you trust to help)
- Keep records of medical visits, missed work, and out-of-pocket expenses
- Avoid giving detailed or recorded statements to insurance companies before understanding your rights
An accident lawyer Allentown residents can contact early in the process can help explain how these steps apply to your specific situation and what additional actions may be helpful in your case.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire your firm?
We offer free initial consultations so you can talk with us about your situation at no cost. If we accept your case, legal fees are typically paid from a recovery rather than upfront. We explain our fee structure clearly before you decide how to proceed.
What kinds of accidents and injuries do you handle?
We focus on personal injury cases, including vehicle crashes, medical negligence, unsafe products, and premises incidents such as falls. We represent people with a wide range of injuries, from fractures to more complex conditions. If you are unsure where your case fits, we can discuss it during a consultation.
How will I stay updated on my injury case?
We use phone, email, and secure technology to keep clients informed throughout their cases. Our team works to answer questions, share important documents, and let you know about significant developments. We encourage clients to contact us whenever they have concerns so they are not left wondering about the status.
How long will my personal injury case take?
The length of a case depends on factors such as the type of accident, the extent of your injuries, and how willing the other side is to negotiate. Some matters resolve in a few months and others take longer. We discuss likely timelines for your situation once we know more details.
What happens during my first consultation with you?
During your first consultation, we listen to what happened, ask questions about your injuries and treatment, and review any information you already have. We then explain possible legal options and answer your questions. You can use this conversation to decide whether you want our firm to move forward with your case.
