Understanding Liability and Insurance Coverage Under PA Law

At Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC, our attorneys understand Pennsylvania’s choice no-fault system and how it can affect your legal options after a crash. Under 75 Pa. C.S.A. § 1705, drivers have the option of choosing limited tort coverage or opting out of the no-fault system and buying full tort coverage auto insurance. 

Whether you have full tort coverage or you suffer serious injuries in a crash with another policy, our team can help you build a convincing case to show the at-fault driver is liable for your accident injuries. 

Accidents typically occur because of a driver who violates a traffic law and this violation leads to a crash. This violation could be running a red light, failing to yield when turning, or improperly changing lanes. Other factors that could contribute to these collisions include: 

  • Speeding
  • Drunk or drugged driving
  • Aggressive driving
  • Distracted driving

Our attorneys will assess your options and identify the potentially liable parties for you. This allows us to pursue the compensation you deserve through an insurance claim with their auto liability provider.

Our Lawyers Take the Necessary Steps to Build a Compelling Case

Even when you have a right to pursue fault-based compensation and a strong case against the at-fault driver, the insurance company may make it difficult to recover fair compensation. The insurance companies are not on the side of victims and do not want to compensate them fairly. They want to pay as little as possible to close the case. 

This is why we must build a case with robust support for the claim. We must compel the insurance carrier to pay a fair payout by having evidence that definitively shows the accused driver is liable and our client deserves the payout we demand. Some of the steps we take to build a convincing case include: 

  • Investigating the accident scene 
  • Obtaining the police accident report and evidence like photos, traffic camera footage, and other video of the crash
  • Collecting relevant medical records and document all injuries
  • Taking witness statements 
  • Working with experts to support the claim
  • Analyzing insurance coverage and policy limits and communicating with insurance companies on your behalf
  • Documenting your economic and non-economic damages
  • Working with doctors to understand your prognosis and future care needs
  • Preparing and file all legal documents
  • Negotiating aggressively for a fair settlement
  • Filing a lawsuit and take the case to court if necessary

Why Is It Important to Act Quickly After a Crash?

It is important to act quickly after a crash. Critical evidence can disappear, witnesses’ memories fade, and there are several deadlines that must be met, usually including a two-year deadline to file a lawsuit under 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5524(2)

Having early legal guidance protects your rights, strengthens your case, and helps you avoid costly mistakes when dealing with insurance companies. When you hire our team, we manage the insurers and keep your best interests front and center.
