How to Seek Compensation for a Car Accident in Pennsylvania

Understanding Pennsylvania’s car insurance requirements can be challenging. The state follows a “choice” no-fault system that can limit the types of damages you can recover after a motor vehicle accident. 

The “choice” you have relates to your premiums and potential compensation. If you select a limit tort policy, your premiums will be cheaper, but you cannot recover certain losses, such as pain and suffering, unless you have a severe injury and exceed your medical benefits policy limit. If you select full tort, you pay more for your insurance, but your right to seek damages is unrestricted. 

Insurance Requirements

According to the Pennsylvania Insurance Department, drivers must purchase a minimum of:

  • $5,000 in first-party medical benefits
  • $15,000/$30,000 in bodily injury liability coverage per person/accident 
  • $5,000 in property damage liability. 

Medical benefits pay for medical expenses for you and your passengers, regardless of fault for a collision. Liability insurance pays for injuries and damages caused to another party if you are responsible for a crash. 

Our Reading car accident lawyer can explain how insurance may affect your case. If necessary, we can work to establish your right to collect damages from an at-fault driver.  Contact Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC, online or by phone 24/7 for a free consultation

How Our Reading Car Accident Attorneys Build Your Case

Our Reading auto accident lawyers will work tirelessly to construct a robust claim. Our law firm can:

  • Investigate the crash – We can visit the accident scene and collect physical evidence, photographs, and video. We can also obtain medical records, police reports, eyewitness statements, and testimony from relevant case experts. We can use this information to identify liable parties and prove they acted negligently. 
  • Manage case details – Our lawyers can prepare and file paperwork, track and meet deadlines, and handle case-related meetings, phone calls, and emails. We will keep you constantly informed and updated at every stage.
  • Aggressively negotiate – We tirelessly negotiate to get our clients the maximum compensation possible. We oppose bad-faith insurance tactics and refuse to settle for less. If necessary, we can take your case to civil court and represent you at trial.   

We take personal injuries personally—we know how these accidents can upend your life. We’ve seen firsthand the effects of negligence on our clients, and we’re determined to get you the compensation you need.

When Should You Get Started? 

You do not have unlimited time to pursue car accident damages. You should notify your insurance provider and the at-fault party’s provider immediately after a crash to avoid missing policy deadlines. 

If we cannot settle your case through insurance, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit in Pennsylvania is two years, according to 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5524(2). If this deadline passes, the court will likely throw out your case, and you will no longer have legal leverage behind your insurance claim.
