https://www.schmidtkramer.com/blog/herniated-disc-injury-from-car-crash-in-harrisburg.html

Moments after a car crash in Harrisburg, you walk away feeling shaken but okay. You don’t seem to have any broken bones. No visible cuts or bruises either.

Scott Cooper recently settled a claim involving a life insurance policy benefit. After his client's family member was tragically killed in a car accident caused by another person south of Harrisburg, a claim was presented for the life insurance policy of the deceased relative.

$250,000.00 Auto Accidents

Mike Kosik successfully pursued an under insured motorist case against State Farm. After reaching a settlement with the driver responsible for the accident, a claim for under insured motorist benefits was pursued against the clients own insurance policy. The claim was pursued because the other driver was under insured and the client were not fully compensated. State Farm refused to settle and after suit was filed removed the case to the Federal Middle District of Pennsylvania. State Farm made several small offers of settlement which were rejected by the clients and the case proceeded to trial. The jury rejected State Farm’s position and awarded $250,000 against State Farm which the court molded to $150,000 based on the previous settlement.

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

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.
