      “Highly Recommended” is the epitome of an understatement when it comes to the firm of McDonald At Law!! Michael McDonald’s genuine pleasant, and empathetic demeanor masks his legal astuteness, and the level of aggressiveness he implements in pursuit of a victim’s right and the monetary compensation legally entitled to us. I was involved in a motor vehicle accident at the hands of an intoxicated driver in York County. In my case I suffered what I described as an atypical injury, Mr. McDonald offered to be my Lawyer immediately after explaining to him the events leading to and after being struck in turn causing me to have a heart attack, when another law firm seemed hesitant. McDonald At Law secured a sizable monetary compensation that not only met my expectation but exceeded it. Mr. McDonald’s wealth of experience, and legal prowess is priceless and never did he act as the case was beneath his practice. In the end my family and I were well compensated, but also felt justified. Thank you McDonald At Law!!

      Back in 2014 I was injured didn’t know what to do but my wife suggested I call Mike McDonald at law I’m not going to say that I really believe in luck but I will say it was the greatest blessing of my entire life that I had the opportunity to pick the best lawyer in Pennsylvania and maybe all of America in Mike McDonald. I needed surgery and Mike came to my home just to make sure that I was OK personally, and he told me not to worry about anything but to just get well he really cares about people and that is something you can’t pay for. Mike’s firm was the most professional operation I have ever had the opportunity to witness over the last 3 1/2 years . All I can say is this if you’ve been injured and you need help there’s only one person that you should call and that’s McDonald at law. From my experience is that when I arrived at his office the first time I met a lawyer and when I left his office the last time I felt like I had a friend. For superior service and expert litigation, remember there’s only one number to call if you ever get hurt it’s McDonald at law.

      Serving Accident Victims in Cumberland, PA

      Cumberland County is the 16th most populated County in Pennsylvania. Because it is so close to the rush hour traffic in and around Harrisburg, PA, Cumberland County is subject to more motor vehicle accidents than many other counties in the state.

      In 2020, Cumberland County had 2,030 vehicle crashes, representing nearly 2% of the total vehicle incidents in Pennsylvania.

      Cumberland County Motor Vehicle Accidents by Municipality

      Due to their proximity to Harrisburg, Hampden, and Carlisle have higher auto accident percentages, but other municipalities in the area are not much safer.

      The Cumberland County municipalities with the highest car accident percentages include:

      • Hampden Township – 229 (11.28%)
      • Carlisle Borough – 187 (9.21%)
      • Silver Spring Township – 178 (8.77%)
      • South Middleton Township – 159 (7.83%)
      • East Pennsboro Township – 124 (6.11%)
      • Middlesex Township – 118 (5.81%)
      • Lower Allen Township – 116 (5.71%)
      • Lemoyne Borough – 104 (5.12%)

      Cumberland County Motor Vehicle Accidents by Roadway

      Car accidents are more likely to occur on higher-populated roads due to the number of vehicles traveling on them daily. Pennsylvania Route 11 and Route 81 are bustling roadways and face a lot of daily traffic. Both roads run through Hampden Township and Carlisle, heightening the risk of a car accident in the Cumberland County, PA area.

      The roadways with the highest car and truck accident percentages in Cumberland County include the following:

      • Route 11 – 299 (14.73%)
      • Route 81 – 250 (12.32%)
      • Route 641 – 127 (6.26%)
      • Route 944 – 94 (4.63%)
      • Route 114 – 82 (4.04%)

      Due to the nature of these roadways, they are more subject to trucking accidents. Truck drivers are constantly on high-speed roads, which heightens the risk of a truck accident. A truck accident can be dangerous for the driver and the truck company.

      If your truck company does not provide access to a truck accident attorney, you may be eligible for financial compensation due to employer negligence. Injured workers can consult with Cumberland County personal injury lawyers at McDonald At Law to assess their claim.
