Pennsylvania follows a “choice” no-fault insurance model. According to the Pennsylvania Insurance Department, all drivers must carry a minimum of:
Drivers may also choose between limited tort coverage and full tort coverage. If you select limited tort, your premiums will be lower, but you cannot sue for certain damages after an accident, such as pain and suffering, unless you have a “serious bodily injury” as defined by state law. If you purchase full tort coverage, you have the unrestricted right to take legal action against a liable party, including pursuing pain and suffering compensation.
Our lawyers know that this system can be complex and unclear for injured parties, and we’re here to guide your through your claim for damages.
To recover damages from a liable party, you must demonstrate that their negligent actions caused your car accident. Examples of negligence include:
To prove the other party’s negligence, our Abington Township car accident attorney will collect evidence. This evidence may include:
These and other forms of evidence allows us to show that the driver’s actions contributed to the crash and your losses.
Under 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 7102, injured parties in Pennsylvania can seek damages as long as their degree of fault for the accident is less than 50 percent. If a court finds you partially liable, it will reduce your damages accordingly.
So, for example, if you have $100,000 in losses but the court determines you are 20 percent responsible for the wreck, you would receive $80,000. However, if the court finds you 51 percent liable, it will bar you from obtaining awards. Our accident attorneys can fight back against allegations designed to reduce or negate your right to compensation.
You should file car accident insurance claims immediately. Policy deadlines can be short, and the longer you wait, the harder it may be to obtain evidence and prove your injuries arose from the crash.
If you must take legal action, 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5524(2) sets a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death. If time runs out, you likely cannot file suit. Our Abington Township injury lawyers can tell you more about deadlines that apply to your case and help you get started before time expires.
