When you hire the Wieand Law Firm, you will work directly with founding attorney Brent Wieand. He strives for continuous improvement in both trial strategy and presentation. To accomplish this, he uses the latest courtroom technology to prepare cutting edge courtroom demonstrations including medical illustrations, computer simulations and other materials to help the jury relate to the victim and understand how the accident happened. Brent has developed a reputation for meticulous case preparation and effective litigation skills. Insurance companies know that if they don’t make a fair offer, he will be prepared to present the most powerful evidence in support of your claim in court.
Insurance agents are known to tell their insureds that they have full coverage. However, “full coverage” carries a different meaning to different people. To insurance agents, full coverage may mean the minimum required automobile insurance needed to drive legally in Pennsylvania. However, to attorney Wieand, full coverage means adequate coverage in the event you are injured in an accident.
Although you can save some pennies by purchasing the minimum required auto insurance coverage, selecting minimum coverage can have devastating results if you are seriously injured and cannot make the recovery you need. Brent Wieand recommends that all Pennsylvania motorists carry, at a minimum, the following auto insurance coverage in order to protect yourself in the event you are hurt in a car accident.
If you are hurt in a collision, the first thing you should do is seek necessary medical treatment. If you don’t need emergency treatment, try to collect as much information as you can at the accident scene, including:
Always report the accident to police. If they respond to the scene, tell them how the accident happened so that your version is included in the accident investigation report.
