Most people assume the driver in back is always to blame when a rear-end collision happens. While that might often be true, the law cannot make this assumption. Harrisburg first responders must fully investigate the scene and examine the evidence. Investigators must review many factors before fault can be assigned. At Schmidt Kramer, we represent […]

$250,000.00 Auto Accidents

Sometimes the party who causes a tragic situation will recognize their responsibility, and other times they have to be shown. Charles E. Schmidt, Jr., recently brought a police department to the table and was successful in resolving a case for more than $250,000 to the benefit of his client. The police still admit nothing. But Mr. Schmidt's relentless pursuit of the case through the Court of Common Pleas, and then the Commonwealth Court, brought the case to a successful conclusion. The police department had argued that they were immune from any liability because their vehicle had never hit the vehicle in which the innocent by-stander sat. Mr. Schmidt countered with alleging the failure of the police officer pursuing a suspect to turn on his lights and his siren. If a police officer is going to exceed the speed limit, he must turn on his lights and sirens to warn innocent by-standers of danger. Many police departments across the country have decided not to continue police pursuits because of the danger to by-standards, and this particular police department may have had a policy which was similar. In any case, the innocent by-stander's family was able to successfully prosecute their case against the police department through their lawyer's work.

Testimonials

One of the best decisions I ever made was choosing Schmidt-Kramer as my personal injury representative. I was given Scott Cooper's name through a family member shortly after my accident in July of 2024. After contacting the Schmidt-Kramer office, Scott came out and visited me in the hospital the very next day. From the very beginning, he was compassionate, upfront, and honest. He ALWAYS responded to my calls, texts, and/or e-mails in a timely manner and kept me up to date on developments in my case. I am very pleased with the outcome and highly recommend this law firm.
Very caring and compassionate
Debra Zervanos
Gerry and his team were very caring and compassionate. Gerry was always very responsive to me whether it be phone calls or emails. He kept me updated every single step of the way. His team and himself worked tirelessly to get me the best possible outcome to my situation. He was able to wrap everything up within two years with a nice bow on it. I will forever be grateful and will recommend him to everyone.

Solid, trustworthy and lucky to have on your side! Dennis Kergick represented me and I was very impressed. Finally a down to earth and easy to talk to attorney . When the time came he was a junk yard dog and I could see the opposing counsel was intimidated. All while maintaining a professional level of respect and courtesy. Would recommend to friends and family. Keep up the good work!!
It’s hard to believe it’s been four years already, but I’m still deeply thankful for my experience with Dennis. Now living in Illinois, I’ve had some similar encounters, and people here are often surprised — and even a bit shocked — when they hear my story. They always end up admitting just how good Dennis truly was. It’s something I didn’t fully realize at the time, but the more I share, the more it’s confirmed to me. God bless, and thank you I came back stronger than ever.
