Schuylkill County Car Accident Lawyers

Serving Drivers in Pottsville, Tamaqua & Across the Coal Region

A crash on Route 209 through Tamaqua, a jack‑knife on I‑81 near Frackville, or an evening fender‑bender on Pottsville’s Centre Street can derail your life in seconds. Serious car accidents are devastating. The survivors are put out of work while their medical costs skyrocket, and their stress only gets worse as the unpaid medical bills pile higher. Loss of income forces accident survivors to be unable to provide for their families. It’s even harder for people who’ve lost a loved one in a car accident—they have to find a way to grieve while figuring out how to pay for medical treatment, burial costs, and other major financial setbacks.

All of these problems have one solution: speaking with a car accident attorney in Schuylkill County. For more than a century, Handler, Henning & Rosenberg LLC has helped Pennsylvanians steady the financial fallout of serious wrecks. Our attorneys have guided 40,000+ clients toward verdicts and settlements that paid medical debt, replaced lost income, and provided long‑term security.

The Real Costs of a Serious Collision

A wreck reaches far beyond the ER bill. We routinely document:

• Emergency transport, surgery, and in‑patient care
• Physical and occupational rehab
• Psychological counseling for PTSD, anxiety, or grief
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Home or vehicle modifications (such as wheelchair ramps)
• Lifetime medication and medical‑equipment expenses

Our job is to calculate every dollar so you’re not left footing hidden bills years down the line.

No‑Fault (PIP) vs. At‑Fault Claims in Tamaqua

Pennsylvania drivers have two main paths to compensation:

“No‑Fault” PIP Claim

• Your own Personal Injury Protection pays medical bills and part of lost wages.
• Unfortunately, coverage limits are often low and run out quickly after a serious injury.

Liability Claim (At‑Fault)

• These are filed against the driver (or company) that caused the crash.
• These claims can include non‑economic damages—pain, suffering, emotional distress—but only if you purchased Full Tort or your injuries meet Pennsylvania’s “serious injury” threshold.

Because many Schuylkill County roads (e.g., US‑209, PA‑54, PA‑61) carry uninsured or underinsured vehicles, we also look for UM/UIM coverage under your policy, as well as employer liability if a commercial driver caused the wreck. In some cases, we may even investigate the presence of product defects.

Common Crashes We Investigate in Schuylkill County

The type of car collision might indicate the kind of injuries they’re facing, who might be at fault for the crash, and other vital information. One of the most vital pieces of information, however, is the sobriety of the at-fault driver. In Pennsylvania, statistics show that alcohol-related crashes caused 28% of traffic fatalities in 2019. If you were in a serious crash, one of our first questions would be whether the other driver was sober.

Other car accident types we’ve investigated include:

• Head-on accidents
• Rear-end crashes
• Commercial truck accidents
• Distracted driving crashes
• Accidents due to speeding
• Accidents due to aggressive or intentional behavior

Car Accident FAQ

Do I Need a Car Accident Lawyer?

When you get in a car accident, the insurance company will have a team of adjusters, agents, and investigators representing their interests against yours. Shouldn’t you have a team of professionals fighting for what you need? We recommend every car accident survivor at least speak with a car crash attorney.

How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit for a Car Accident?

Pennsylvania’s statute of limitations is two years from the crash date for most injury claims. Evidence fades faster than that, so call a lawyer as soon as possible.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Schuylkill County Car Accident Lawyers?

Our personal injury attorneys offer their services on a contingency fee basis. That means our clients pay nothing upfront, and they never receive a bill or an invoice. Instead, our fee comes to us as a percentage of whatever we recover for you in a verdict or settlement. That means we only take a fee if we win your case. This presents zero risk to our clients and allows them to pursue justice at no cost to them upfront.
