Reading Vehicle Accident Lawyers
Experienced Motor Vehicle Injury Attorneys Serving Eastern Pennsylvania
You or a family member has been hurt while in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident. You’re facing medical bills, insurance issues, and police investigations. Liever, Hyman & Potter is the longest-standing motor vehicle injury law firm in Reading, PA. During its 67-plus years, the firm has won many million and multi-million dollar results for clients in Berks County, Pottsville, and throughout eastern Pennsylvania.
We work on a contingent legal fee. That means you’ll pay us no money — not even a cent — until we recover money for you. After your recovery, our contingent fee will be based on a percentage of the award or settlement that will be clearly defined in the initial agreement signed.
Unlike most other law firms, our agreement says you won’t have to repay any of the expenses we may have advanced on your behalf until we recover money for you.
Injuries Resulting from a Motor Vehicle Accident
In one recent year, motor vehicle crashes killed over 35,000 people in the United States, which is about 96 people every day. Motor vehicle-related injuries send more than 2.3 million people to hospital emergency rooms every year.
In Pennsylvania alone, more than 1,200 people were killed in one year. Liever, Hyman & Potter thoroughly investigates every case on behalf of our clients. We use the best investigators and, if necessary, preeminent engineers and accident reconstruction experts, including former police officers, to get the evidence that you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What Kind of Lawyer Do I Need?
The legal world is a complicated environment with countless nuances to take into account. As a result, there is a wide range of specialized attorneys dedicated to specific legal areas, such as criminal lawyers who handle criminal defense. With so many fields, it can be difficult to determine which kind of lawyer is best suited for your circumstances. If you call Liever, Hyman & Potter, P.C. and offer an overview of your situation, then they can help narrow down what kind of personal injury lawyer is best suited to handle your case. Our law firm was founded in 1959 and is knowledgeable in numerous areas of personal injury law.
-
Do I Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?
After sustaining a severe injury, you will need to pay medical bills for treatment, potentially miss time at work, and experience pain and suffering. With a qualified and skilled lawyer’s assistance, it is possible for you to receive fair and full compensation for these damages. A knowledgeable attorney will increase your chances of reaching an acceptable settlement agreement and receiving more compensation than you would on your own. Additionally, personal injury lawyers can help settle a liability dispute to determine who is responsible for an accident.
-
How Will I Know I Have a Case?
No one has to make this important decision by themselves. Contact Liever, Hyman & Potter, P.C., and set up a free consultation to go over your situation in detail. Our attorneys will be able to identify who you can sue and what you can expect to gain based on the facts of the accident and the laws in Pennsylvania. In most scenarios, you’ll have a case if it can be proven that someone acted carelessly and caused injuries. Applying this standard is more complex than it may initially appear, which is why it is important to consult us.
-
When to Call a Lawyer After a Car Accident?
If you’ve sustained severe injuries in a car accident, you should reach out to a lawyer shortly after the crash takes place. Not only will a professional car accident attorney help you gather vital evidence before it is lost to help your case, but they can also handle communications with your insurance company and deal with the careless driver’s insurance company.
-
What Should I Do if an Attorney or Insurance Adjuster Calls Me?
You should never speak with insurance adjusters for someone else involved in the accident. While they may sound friendly and sympathetic to your case, they are almost certainly trying to get statements from you that would reduce or eliminate the liability of their insured. This is also true when an attorney for another person contacts you.
-
How to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit?
As previously mentioned, filing a medical malpractice lawsuit starts with contacting a lawyer. However, it is crucial that we have sufficient information before filing the claim because malpractice claims can be significantly more complicated than other lawsuits. Our dedicated attorneys will collect all of your medical records and thoroughly review them.
Your medical malpractice attorney must determine whether the case warrants a lawsuit before they file with the court. If we do go forward, we will rely on highly qualified doctors who will be able to explain why you or your loved one were wrongfully harmed by medical treatment.
