A Bucks County car accident lawyer at Flager Law can help you recover after a serious crash on Route 1, the PA Turnpike, I-95, or any other Bucks County road. We have served injured drivers across the county since 1990 from our home base in Bensalem. Our team knows the local roads, the local courthouse in Doylestown, and the insurance adjusters who handle Bucks County claims. The consultation is free, and there is no fee unless we win.
Flager Law has been a Bucks County firm for more than three decades. We know the Bucks County Justice Center in Doylestown. We know the judges, the prothonotary’s office, and the local discovery practice. That familiarity translates into smoother cases and stronger results for our clients.
In addition, we serve clients in every Bucks County town, from Bensalem and Levittown in Lower Bucks to Doylestown, Newtown, and New Hope in Central Bucks, and Quakertown and Perkasie in Upper Bucks. Wherever the crash happened and wherever you live, we can help. Visit our practice areas page to see the full range of cases we handle.
Call 911 from the scene. The Pennsylvania State Police, Bensalem Township Police, Middletown Township Police, or whatever local department handles the area will create a crash report. That report is critical evidence. Get the report number and request a copy when it becomes available.
Get medical care next, even if you feel fine. Bucks County crash victims usually go to St. Mary Medical Center in Langhorne, Doylestown Hospital, Lower Bucks Hospital in Bristol, or St. Luke’s Upper Bucks in Quakertown depending on location. After that, photograph the scene, exchange information, and identify witnesses. Then call us before you talk to any insurance company.
Bucks County crashes produce a range of injuries depending on the road and the speed. High-speed wrecks on I-95 and the PA Turnpike often produce serious injuries including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, multiple fractures, and internal injuries. Lower-speed crashes at Route 1 intersections, the Newtown Bypass, or local roads still produce whiplash, herniated discs, and concussions.
We also handle wrongful death cases for families who have lost loved ones in fatal Bucks County crashes. Our team works with treating physicians, vocational economists, and life care planners to document the full cost of every injury, current and future.
We start with a thorough crash investigation. We pull the police report, request 911 audio, look for traffic camera or business surveillance footage, and locate witnesses. PennDOT, Bensalem Township, and other municipalities have varied camera systems, and we know how to request the data.
Then we coordinate with your medical providers and document every injury. We work with crash reconstruction engineers when fault is disputed. Finally, we present a demand to the insurance company that reflects the real cost of your injuries. If they refuse to settle fairly, we file suit at the Bucks County Justice Center.
Pennsylvania drivers choose between full tort and limited tort coverage. Limited tort generally bars recovery for pain and suffering unless your injury is serious. The serious injury threshold under Pennsylvania law includes death, serious impairment of body function, or permanent serious disfigurement.
However, several exceptions can restore full rights to limited tort policyholders. Crashes caused by drunk drivers, out-of-state drivers, and commercial vehicles often fall outside the limited tort restriction. We review your policy and the crash facts at no cost. If an exception applies, your full damages are available.
Pennsylvania law allows injury victims to recover several categories of damages. The first is medical expenses, including emergency treatment, surgery, hospital stays, follow-up care, physical therapy, prescriptions, and assistive devices. Even a moderate car accident can produce treatment costs that stretch over many months once physical therapy, imaging, and specialist visits are added up.
Next, you can recover lost wages and lost earning capacity. If the car accident kept you out of work, that lost income is recoverable. If your injuries limit your future ability to earn, vocational economists can project that lost capacity over your remaining work life. We work with those experts on serious cases.
Finally, Pennsylvania allows recovery for pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and in qualifying cases, loss of consortium for a spouse. These non-economic damages are real and substantial. We document them carefully so the insurance company cannot dismiss them.
In serious-injury cases, future damages often outweigh the immediate medical bills. Long-term physical therapy, future surgeries, home modifications, in-home care, and reduced earning capacity all need to be calculated and proven. We work with treating physicians and life care planners to project those future costs accurately. The insurer must pay for what your injury will cost over its full duration, not just what has been billed so far.
Insurance companies are businesses. Their goal is to close claims for as little money as possible. After a car accident, expect a quick call from an adjuster offering to settle for a small amount before you even know the full extent of your injuries. That first offer is almost always a fraction of fair value. Do not accept it without legal advice.
Adjusters also use recorded statements and social media surveillance to build a defense. They may ask seemingly friendly questions that are actually designed to lock you into a story that hurts your case later. They also scan public posts looking for photos or videos that contradict your reported injuries. We handle every communication with the insurer so these tactics cannot derail your claim.
In addition, insurers sometimes delay processing in hopes that injured victims will give up and accept less. We do not let delay become a weapon. We push the claim forward on a steady schedule, and we file suit when an insurer refuses to engage in good faith.
Pennsylvania’s general statute of limitations for personal injury is two years from the date of the crash. Claims against PennDOT, a township, or other government entities may have shorter notice deadlines. Call us promptly to protect your rights.
Most Bucks County injury cases are filed at the Bucks County Justice Center in Doylestown. Smaller claims may be filed in magisterial district courts. We handle filings, hearings, and trials throughout the county.
PA Turnpike crashes are typically investigated by the Pennsylvania State Police. We work with state troopers’ reports, dashcam footage, and reconstruction experts. Liability against the Turnpike Commission itself is rare but possible in some roadway design cases.
Yes. We serve every Bucks County community, including Doylestown, Newtown, Bensalem, Levittown, Yardley, Langhorne, Quakertown, Warminster, Warrington, Richboro, Buckingham, New Hope, Perkasie, and beyond.
Nothing up front. We handle every injury case on a contingency basis, which means our fee comes only out of the recovery we win for you. If we do not recover anything, you do not owe a fee. The initial consultation is also always free.
Timelines vary widely. A clear-liability case with moderate injuries may settle in a few months once medical treatment is complete. A disputed case or one involving serious injuries may take a year or longer, especially if it has to go through litigation. We push for the fastest fair result, never the fastest result.
