How We Can Help After a Car Accident

When you’ve been injured in a car accident, insurance companies often try to minimize your claim or deny it altogether. Our experienced car accident attorneys will:

  • Conduct a thorough investigation of your accident
  • Gather and preserve critical evidence
  • Identify all potentially liable parties
  • Work with accident reconstruction experts when necessary
  • Handle all communication with insurance companies
  • Calculate the full extent of your damages, including future costs
  • Negotiate aggressively for a fair settlement
  • Take your case to trial if necessary

Compensation Available for Car Accident Victims

Pennsylvania car accident victims may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses (current and future)
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Vehicle repair or replacement costs
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Disfigurement and scarring
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Loss of consortium

Understanding Pennsylvania's Car Accident Laws

No-Fault Insurance System

Pennsylvania follows a “choice” no-fault insurance system, which means drivers can choose between limited tort and full tort insurance coverage:

  • Limited Tort: Restricts your ability to sue for pain and suffering unless you suffer a “serious injury”
  • Full Tort: Preserves your right to pursue compensation for pain and suffering regardless of injury severity

Our attorneys can help you understand how your insurance choice affects your claim and identify exceptions that may allow you to pursue additional compensation.

Comparative Negligence

Pennsylvania follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault in the accident. If you are found to be more than 50% responsible, you cannot recover compensation.

Our attorneys work diligently to counter any allegations of shared fault to maximize your recovery.

Statute of Limitations

In Pennsylvania, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a car accident lawsuit. Missing this deadline typically means losing your right to compensation. Don’t delay in seeking legal representation.
