Experienced Personal Injury Attorneys Serving Hershey, PA
Hershey attracts millions of visitors each year to Hersheypark, Chocolate World, and the Giant Center — and the resulting traffic congestion on Hersheypark Drive, Route 422, and Route 322 leads to a steady stream of serious vehicle accidents. From rear-end collisions in tourist traffic to high-speed crashes where PA-39 meets Route 322, our attorneys know the roads, the intersections, and the insurance companies that handle claims in this community.
Insurance companies in Central Pennsylvania are aggressive about minimizing payouts after vehicle accidents. They deploy adjusters quickly, pressure victims into recorded statements, and make lowball settlement offers before injuries are fully diagnosed. Our Hershey personal injury attorneys level the playing field — we handle all insurance communications, coordinate with your medical providers, and build evidence-backed claims that reflect the true cost of your injuries and lost income.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Hershey
Car Accidents
Tourist traffic around Hersheypark Drive and daily commuter congestion on Route 422 create dangerous conditions year-round. We reconstruct accident scenes and fight insurance companies to recover full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain.
Truck Accidents
Commercial vehicles traveling I-83, PA-39, and Route 322 through Hershey cause devastating collisions. We investigate trucking company compliance records, driver hours-of-service logs, and maintenance histories to hold all responsible parties accountable.
Motorcycle Accidents
Scenic rides through Hershey's countryside attract motorcyclists, but distracted drivers and left-turn violations cause life-changing crashes. We fight the bias that motorcyclists are always at fault and pursue maximum recovery for catastrophic injuries.
Uber & Lyft Accidents
Rideshare services surge during Hersheypark events and Giant Center concerts. When rideshare drivers cause accidents, multiple insurance policies may apply. We navigate the complex coverage layers to maximize your claim against Uber or Lyft's commercial policies.
Pedestrian Accidents
Heavy foot traffic near Hershey's attractions, crosswalks on Chocolate Avenue, and hotel corridors put pedestrians at risk. When negligent drivers strike pedestrians, our attorneys pursue claims that cover long-term medical care and permanent disability.
Bicycle Accidents
Cyclists riding through Hershey face serious risks from distracted drivers and narrow road shoulders. We establish driver negligence through witness testimony, surveillance footage, and accident reconstruction to secure compensation for injured riders.

Fighting Insurance Companies After a Hershey Accident
Insurance adjusters contact accident victims within hours of a crash — often before injuries are fully diagnosed. They request recorded statements designed to undermine your claim, and their initial settlement offers rarely cover even your immediate medical costs. Accepting too early means you cannot go back for additional compensation when long-term injuries emerge weeks or months later.
Our attorneys handle all insurer communications from day one, ensuring nothing you say is used against you. We document the full scope of your injuries, calculate future medical needs and lost earning capacity, and negotiate from a position of evidence-backed strength. When insurers refuse fair settlements, we are prepared to take your case to trial in Dauphin County Court.
"A distracted driver rear-ended me on Hersheypark Drive during summer traffic. The insurance company wanted to settle for barely enough to cover my ER visit. PA Attorney Source took over, got me proper imaging that revealed a herniated disc, and negotiated a settlement that paid for my surgery, rehab, and lost income. They never rushed me and kept me informed every step of the way."

Choice No-Fault Auto Insurance
Pennsylvania drivers choose between "full tort" and "limited tort" coverage, which determines when you can sue for pain and suffering after a car accident.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Cases in Hershey
After a car accident in Hershey, call 911 and seek medical attention even if injuries seem minor. Document the scene with photos of all vehicles, road conditions, and any visible injuries. Exchange insurance and contact information with all drivers involved. Do not admit fault or give recorded statements to insurance companies. Contact our attorneys as soon as possible — early legal guidance protects your right to full compensation and prevents insurance adjusters from undervaluing your claim.
Pennsylvania drivers choose between full tort and limited tort coverage when purchasing auto insurance. If you selected limited tort, you can only sue for pain and suffering if your injuries meet a 'serious injury' threshold — such as permanent disfigurement, broken bones, or significant impairment. Full tort policyholders retain the unrestricted right to sue. Our Hershey attorneys analyze your policy, identify exceptions that may override limited tort restrictions, and pursue every available avenue of compensation.
Yes. Pennsylvania law requires insurers to offer uninsured motorist (UM) and underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage. If the at-fault driver has no insurance or insufficient coverage, your own UM/UIM policy can cover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Many Hershey drivers carry this coverage without realizing it. Our attorneys review every applicable policy — including household family members' policies — to identify all available sources of compensation.
Pennsylvania's statute of limitations gives you two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, critical evidence like traffic camera footage, witness memories, and vehicle data can deteriorate quickly. For accidents near Hersheypark Drive or Route 422, we recommend contacting an attorney within days — not months — to preserve the strongest possible case. Missing the two-year deadline bars your claim permanently.
Truck accident claims in Hershey typically involve larger settlements than car accident cases because commercial trucks cause more severe injuries. You may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, reduced earning capacity, and property damage. Trucking companies carry substantial insurance policies, often $1 million or more. Our attorneys investigate driver logs, maintenance records, and federal compliance data to build claims against the trucking company, not just the driver.
