Motor Vehicle Accidents

The attorneys at Wapner Newman handle a multitude of cases involving automobile and truck accidents and related insurance issues. These cases range from accidents involving modest injuries to those which result in death and catastrophic injuries. We also represent clients in actions against their own insurance companies or uninsured and underinsured motorist cases, when the responsible party either has no insurance or not enough insurance to pay for the damages caused. Often, the most devastating injuries occur when trucks are involved in the accident. Our attorneys are knowledgeable with respect to state and federal regulations governing the conduct of truck drivers, as well as the condition of their vehicles.

Automobile and truck accident cases also may involve other complex issues, including dangerous highway design, dangerous design of an automobile or truck, as well as liquor liability claims against bars that serve drivers to the point of intoxication. These cases may involve multiple defendants, including state and local governments, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and automobile manufacturers. Members of Wapner Newman are frequently called upon as Arbitrators in uninsured and underinsured motorist cases.
