Bristol’s location along major routes means traffic is constant and accidents are, unfortunately, common. While every crash is different, certain factors come up repeatedly in serious collisions across Bucks County:
If someone’s negligence caused your crash, we’re here to help you hold them liable for harm.
In Pennsylvania, determining fault after a car accident isn’t always straightforward and it can directly affect your ability to recover compensation. The state follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means your financial recovery may be reduced if you’re found partially responsible for the crash.
Per 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5524(2), drivers who are more than 50 percent at fault generally cannot recover damages from the other party. If a victim’s level of fault is 50 percent or less, their compensation may be reduced based on their percentage of responsibility.
Insurance companies often use fault disputes to minimize payouts. That’s where legal guidance can be useful. The lawyers at Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC can review your case, work to protect your interests, and help pursue the compensation permitted under Pennsylvania law — even in situations where fault is shared.
If you’re considering legal action after a car accident, it’s important to be aware that strict deadlines may apply. In Pennsylvania, injured parties generally have two years from the date of a crash to file a personal injury lawsuit per 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5524(2). However, certain factors could affect how much time you actually have, depending on the details of your situation.
Missing the applicable deadline can affect your ability to seek compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, or other losses. That’s why it can be helpful to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible after an accident.
