Understanding Auto Insurance in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania’s “choice” no-fault insurance system can affect the damages you can recover after a car accident. According to the Pennsylvania Insurance Department, the following car insurance is mandatory:
- At least $5,000 in first-party medical benefits – This coverage pays for your medical bills after a collision, regardless of who was at fault.
- At least $15,000/$30,000 in bodily injury liability per person/accident – This coverage pays for the other party’s medical expenses if you are responsible for a crash.
- At least $5,000 in property damage liability – This coverage pays for the other party’s vehicle damages if you are responsible for an accident.
You must turn to your medical benefits coverage first to pay for your medical expenses. You may also be able to seek compensation from a liable party, but the insurance policy you selected can restrict your ability to do so. The commonwealth allows drivers to choose from two coverage options:
- Limited tort – Limited tort coverage offers significant savings on insurance premiums but prohibits the insured from seeking certain damages from liable parties, including compensation for pain and suffering, unless they have a severe injury as defined by law.
- Full tort – Full tort coverage has higher premiums, but drivers who select this coverage have the unrestricted right to seek all types of car accident compensation from those at fault.
Our lawyers in Lower Merion can review your insurance policy and explain your options for pursuing compensation. We can handle claims with your insurer and claims against other parties involved. We can seek the maximum settlement possible under the policy limits.
Proving Liability for Your Lower Merion Township Auto Accident
A driver is financially liable for your car accident if their negligence caused the collision. Examples of negligent driving include:
- Tailgating
- Speeding
- Illegally passing/failing to stay in the proper lane
- Making an improper turn
- Failing to yield the right of way
- Failing to stop at a stop sign or red light
- Driving distracted
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Driving recklessly or aggressively
Our legal team can do the work needed to support your case and prove that a liable party caused the crash. We can visit the accident, take photographs and video, and collect physical evidence. We can locate and interview eyewitnesses and obtain available surveillance footage of the collision. We can also obtain and review police reports and medical records and hire and consult with experts when necessary.

Injury victims usually have two years to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit in Pennsylvania, according to 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5524(2). The court may refuse your case if the deadline expires, so do not wait too long to take action.
