According to the U.S. Department of Transportation and the International Institute of Highway Safety, a total of 38,824 people died in motor vehicle crashes in 2020. The leading causes of death by motor vehicle accidents are alcohol, speeding, lack of seat belt use and other problematic behaviors such as distracted driving. Catastrophic auto accidents can be complicated, with more than one party at fault. In addition, there can be parts of the motor vehicle that are defective that contribute to the accident. Whether your accident seems straightforward or is complex, it pays to have someone on your side who can help navigate the complexities of an auto accident lawsuit. Our team of trial lawyers actively litigates auto (car) accidents in Pennsylvania and New Jersey including cases from ride shares such as Uber and Lyft, SEPTA accidents, trucking accidents, car accidents, motor vehicle accidents, train derailments and accidents, and boating accidents. ## Why Should You Hire Us to Represent Your Auto Accident Case? Here are some key reasons why you might hire a personal injury attorney for your car accident claim: - Insurance companies and adjusters often times dramatically undervalue car accident claims. - Insurance companies routinely offer small settlement figures compared to what victims might win in a civil trial. - Since many injuries sustained during car accidents reveal themselves slowly over time, there is a danger that, without the help of a lawyer, you may settle for too little to cover the cost of your long-term medical care. An experienced car accident lawyer may direct you to medical professionals who will examine you with an eye toward future medical expenses. - A seasoned car accident attorney will know how to discover facts that will strengthen the liability part of your claim through discovery, investigation, accident reconstructions and depositions of witnesses and experts. - A veteran car accident lawyer will negotiate tough with insurance companies, earning maximum recovery. - A motor vehicle attorney will advise you concerning any statutes of limitations that might apply to your case. ## Our Car Accident Lawyers Are Here To Help The car accident lawyers at Green & Schafle understand how costly and distressing a car accident can be. There’s the damage to your vehicle, medical treatment costs, loss of employment, pain and suffering. We want to help.

I highly recommend David Carney of Green & Schafle for his outstanding work on my SIRVA vaccine injury case. After suffering a left arm injury that lasted more than four years, I faced a long and complicated settlement process. David was knowledgeable, responsive, and relentless in advocating on my behalf. He clearly understood the medical and legal complexities of SIRVA claims, kept me informed at every stage, and never lost focus on achieving a fair outcome. Thanks to his persistence and expertise, my case was successfully resolved. If you need trusted, experienced representation for a SIRVA or vaccine injury claim, David Carney is an excellent choice. —Barry Atlas

When I sustained a serious shoulder injury from a tetanus shot, I was made aware of the VICP and retained David Carney to represent me. I expected professionalism, transparency, and ethical advocacy. What I encountered instead was a pattern of deception and obstruction that ultimately forced me to terminate the relationship and file formal misconduct complaints. The problems began early. Mr. Carney submitted my damages demand to the government without informing me or involving me in its contents. When I raised concerns about being excluded from such a consequential filing, he responded with dismissiveness, condescension and accused me of insulting him. He claimed he was "not obligated by law" to inform me of developments in my own case. Rather than address my concerns, he attempted to shift blame onto me for expecting transparency. What followed was far more serious. On July 9, 2025, the Department of Justice submitted a settlement offer in my case. Mr. Carney never told me. More than a month later, on August 11, the very same day he filed a Notice of Impasse with the Court, he told me there were "no updates." I had been deprived of the opportunity to review or respond to a government offer before an impasse was formally declared on my behalf. When I discovered what had happened and terminated his representation, I requested my complete case file. Only after termination did Mr. Carney forward what he described as a new DOJ offer. But the email he sent reflected a later date than the original. When I cross-referenced it with the Court docket, the original confirmed the offer had been transmitted on July 9, weeks earlier. His version had been altered and included commentary urging me not to accept the offer, despite having already declared an impasse without ever disclosing it to me. The obstruction continued after termination. He refused to release my records unless I agreed to speak with him by phone and allowed him to be paid out first, falsely claiming payment was required before my file could be returned and that terminating him would automatically stay my case. I have text messages and voicemails documenting this. My records were only produced after further escalation, well past the point he was ethically obligated to surrender them. I escalated to Adam, the firm's founding partner, hoping for accountability. He minimized my concerns and took no corrective action. Mr. Carney then attempted to contact the Special Master independently after termination, without my authorization. After terminating Mr. Carney, I consulted with multiple attorneys who independently confirmed that my concerns were legitimate and that his conduct was inconsistent with acceptable professional standards. The toll was not only legal. The stress became so severe that I began experiencing debilitating panic attacks requiring medical intervention. I share this so others can make informed decisions. To anyone navigating this process: you are not indentured to your attorney. The VICP is designed so that petitioners control their case, not their counsel. Your name is on those filings, so make sure the content reflects your input and that your attorney is discussing every significant development with you. If you are dismissed or made to feel like the case belongs to your attorney rather than to you, find another one. It is your case. It has always been your case.
