Some of the motor vehicle accident cases our award-winning Philadelphia collision attorneys handle include:
Depending on the circumstances and facts of the case, the compensation available for your injuries, expenses, and losses could vary. Our attorneys identify, document, and value the costs our clients paid—economic and non-economic—and estimate their future expenses and losses.
Some of the most common recoverable damages in these cases include:
While you may opt to manage a no-fault claim on your own, you may find it helpful to have the guidance of our car accident attorneys if:
Other situations when it may be challenging or impossible to manage a car accident case and recover fair compensation on your own include:
Our Philadelphia personal injury lawyers will explain the legal process to you and guide you through every step. You can feel peace of mind because you have their experience and knowledge on your side. You can focus on your treatment and rehabilitation while they take care of everything else.
As a car accident victim, the insurance companies are not on your side. The at-fault driver’s insurance carrier could use tactics or tricks that cause you to make a mistake, say the wrong thing, or otherwise jeopardize your ability to recover fair compensation.
Some evidence is also time sensitive, and we need to begin our investigation quickly to build the strongest case possible. This could allow us to gather evidence that will not be available to support your case later. Examples could include getting key details from eyewitnesses and obtaining video of the crash from nearby businesses or traffic cams.
By hiring our auto accident attorney quickly after a crash, you will have someone with the knowledge, experience, and resources to manage all aspects of your case. We will speak to the insurance adjuster, gather evidence, build a compelling case, and handle settlement negotiations on your behalf. Call us to get started.

Pennsylvania has complex auto insurance laws. In general, each party’s own insurance company is responsible for covering their medical care and some other related expenses. However, there are exceptions.
Pennsylvania drivers must carry a Personal Injury Protection (PIP) policy to cover minor and moderate injuries as part of their auto insurance coverage. This medical benefits coverage helps pay treatment costs for the insured driver and their passengers regardless of fault. The minimum medical benefits coverage limit in Pennsylvania is $5,000.
Still, under Pennsylvania law, crash victims can file lawsuits against at-fault drivers under certain circumstances. The best way to understand your rights is to discuss your situation with an attorney as soon as you can. We provide free consultations for victims and their families. Contact us for a free case assessment today.
If another driver’s negligence leaves you with a damaged or totaled vehicle, that driver will be responsible for repairs or replacement of your car. You can seek compensation through their auto liability insurance provider.
Pennsylvania’s auto insurance laws require all drivers to carry at least $5,000 liability coverage for property damage. Be aware that this limit is exceedingly low, so recovering enough money to repair or replace your vehicle could be difficult on your own.
If you’re responsible for an accident in Philadelphia, you could encounter the following insurance scenarios:
You can sue a motorist who caused your Philadelphia car accident under certain circumstances. If you have relatively minor injuries and carry no-fault insurance, you might have limited options. However, many crash victims can file a lawsuit to recover compensation.
Contact our team and discuss your case facts with a personal injury lawyer to learn more about your rights and legal options.
In Pennsylvania, you generally have up to two years to sue the at-fault driver, per 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5524(2). However, other deadlines could apply, and there are several other reasons why getting started as soon as possible is crucial. For the strongest case, contact our team as soon as your injuries allow.
A serious injury allows a claimant who opted into no-fault coverage to file a lawsuit against the at-fault driver. Pennsylvania law considers an injury “serious” when it causes:
If your injury leaves you with serious health concerns or interferes with your career, education, or activities, it may qualify as serious. Our knowledgeable car accident lawyers will assess your case and explain your legal options.
