Proving liability for personal injuries requires building a case based on the four elements of negligence:
While you focus on recovering, our attorneys will focus on constructing a solid personal injury case supported by evidence. We can:
Several Pennsylvania laws can affect a personal injury claim, including:
Pennsylvania follows a modified comparative negligence system, outlined in 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 7102. According to the law, when determining personal injury compensation, the court will consider each party’s degree of liability for the accident. If the court assigns the victim a percentage of fault, it can reduce damages by the corresponding amount.
So, if someone has $100,000 in losses but are 15 percent responsible, they could receive $85,000. Those who are more than 50 percent at fault cannot recover any compensation. This law can affect insurance claims even if victims do not go to court. If necessary, our attorneys can defend against allegations that blame you for your injury in order to reduce your damages.
The statute of limitations dictates how long you have to file a personal injury or wrongful death case in civil court. According to 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5524(2), the deadline in Pennsylvania is two years. If time runs out, the court will usually bar you from taking legal action. If you cannot sue, you also lose your leverage over the insurance company.
If your personal injury occurred in a motor vehicle accident, your case will likely involve an auto insurance claim. The type of insurance you carry will determine the damages you can recover.
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Insurance, drivers get to choose whether they want full or limited tort coverage. Depending on the coverage, drivers may not be able to seek certain damages, including pain and suffering, unless they have a severe injury as defined by Pennsylvania law. These laws can complicate already difficult claims, and our team is prepared to handle these nuances.
