A Clearfield car accident lawyer with Berger and Green can help you seek compensation for your accident-related injuries and expenses.

Our firm understands you may be looking at costly medical bills and property damage costs after getting hurt. We can relieve some of your stress by taking away the legal burden of handling a personal injury case.

We have more than 40 years of experience serving clients with personal injury and disability cases. We want to help you fight for the awards you need to get your life back on track.

We Can Help You Recover Compensation

With the help of a Clearfield car accident lawyer, you do not have to worry about talking to claims adjusters. You do not even have to worry about calculating the cost of your damages. We can do all of those things for you.

We can pursue compensation for the following:

Medical Expenses

You may have ongoing health care needs.

Berger and Green’s lawyers can help you seek awards to pay for:

• Surgeries
• Physical therapy
• Medical equipment and mobility aids
• Medications
• Hospitalization
• Emergency department care

We understand that your condition may be continually evolving, requiring more treatment as time goes on. We will work with your healthcare team to learn more about your condition and what types of care you will need in the future.

Lost Wages

We can help you recover the wages you lost because of your injuries. Additionally, we can help you recover the tips, bonuses, and benefits that you missed out on during your recovery period.

Loss of Future Earning Capacity

If you are permanently disabled and cannot return to work, we can help you pursue a settlement for your loss of future earning capacity. If you need to learn a new skill set to work in a different field, you may be eligible for awards to pay for vocational rehabilitation.

Property Damage Costs

The collision may have damaged your vehicle. You may now be left without transportation altogether. Our team can determine the cost of your car’s repairs and include them in your case’s value.

If you need to find alternative modes of transportation while repairing or replacing your vehicle, we can also pursue those expenses.

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages compensate accident victims for the physical, emotional, and mental impact of their accident and injuries. These damages may include awards for:

• Scarring and/or disfigurement
• Chronic pain
• Anxiety
• The loss of a limb or bodily function
• Paralysis or loss of mobility
• Impaired quality of life
• Pain and suffering

After examining your injuries, accident, and losses, we can provide an estimate as to what your case is worth.

We Can Help You Take Legal Action

There are various filing deadlines surrounding your case. How long you have to file an insurance claim depends on the policies set in place by that carrier.

However, how long you have to file a lawsuit is determined by 42 Pa. C.S.A. §5524. You generally have two years from the date of your accident (and two years from the date of your loved one’s passing) to file a lawsuit.

Berger and Green can help you:

File a Claim

Insurance companies increase their profits by keeping settlements low. Yet, Berger and Green can represent your best interests. We can:

• File your claim
• Calculate your damages
• Negotiate with the insurer
• Determine your coverage options
• Present evidence of negligence

Let us take care of the paperwork, deadlines, and communications so you can turn your attention to getting better.

File a Lawsuit

Our attorneys will work hard to settle your case outside of court. If we cannot satisfactorily resolve your case through insurance negotiations, we can assist with a lawsuit.

We will not let insurance companies lowball you or try to intimidate you into accepting a lower settlement than you deserve. If the insurer does not pay what you are owed, then we can take your case to court and advocate for your rights from there.

We Can Gather Evidence to Prove Negligence

To “win” your case, we will need to show how another driver acted negligently. Some forms of negligence that may have resulted in your accident include:

• Running traffic signs and stop lights
• Tailgating
• Weaving between lanes of traffic
• Speeding
• Making an improper turn
• Failing to yield
• Driving while intoxicated
• Texting, eating, grooming, or engaging in other distracting behaviors
• Driving aggressively

Our team can use eyewitness statements, expert testimony, and accident reports as evidence to prove that another driver acted negligently.

Photographs and video and surveillance footage can be used when applicable. We will show your accident led to financial damages using medical bills, vehicle repair invoices, and your employment records.
