Our Upper Darby Lawyers Understand How PA Car Accident Cases Work

At Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC, our injury lawyers know how to navigate the Pennsylvania car insurance system and help our clients secure maximum compensation. Pennsylvania law is somewhat complex when it comes to navigating crash claims. 

Pennsylvania follows a “choice no-fault” system that allows drivers to choose between no-fault (limited tort) or fault-based (full tort) coverage under 75 Pa. C.S.A. § 1705. The differences in these two types of coverage could affect your rights after a crash. 

Limited Tort Coverage

Drivers who choose limited tort coverage can only recover economic damages such as medical care costs and lost income after a crash. They cannot pursue compensation for pain and suffering and other non-economic damages unless they suffer a serious injury.

Full Tort Coverage

Drivers who opt for full tort coverage can sue the at-fault driver for both economic and non-economic damages after a crash no matter the severity of their injuries.

Recoverable Damages With Help From an Upper Darby Collision Lawyer From Our Team

If a victim of an Upper Darby, PA, crash has full tort coverage or suffers a serious injury, they may be able to hold the at-fault driver accountable for damages that include: 

  • Medical Care: Treatment, surgery, rehabilitation, and future care needs
  • Lost Income: Income lost due to the injury and treatment
  • Diminished Earning Capacity: Lost future income if lasting injuries prevent their return to their previous job
  • Property Damage: Repairs or replacement of the vehicle and other personal property
  • Pain and Suffering: Money for intangible losses, including physical pain and emotional suffering
  • Other Non-Economic Damages: Compensation for other intangible losses suffered because of the accident and injures

Wrongful death is considered a serious injury under Pennsylvania’s financial responsibility laws. This means surviving family members can pursue economic and non-economic damages through a wrongful death action regardless of the type of insurance coverage the victim elected to buy. 

Steps Our Upper Darby Car Accident Lawyers Take to Handle a Case

When a car accident attorney from our Upper Darby team manages a case for an injured client, we need to take a number of steps to develop a case and determine the best case strategy. This could include: 

  • Investigating the accident, collecting evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and video of the crash
  • Reviewing insurance policies to understand the applicable insurance coverage and legal options
  • Obtaining relevant medical records and bills to evaluate and document the severity of the injuries
  • Working with accident reconstructionists, medical professionals, economists, and other experts to support the claim
  • Negotiating with insurance companies to reach a fair settlement that appropriately compensates our client
  • When necessary, drafting and filing a lawsuit in the appropriate court
  • Representing the client in court, presenting evidence, cross-examining witnesses, and asking the jury to award fair compensation based on the case facts

Often, we settle car accident claims without needing to file a lawsuit or go to trial. However, our injury lawyers in Upper Darby, PA, will not back down if litigation is necessary in your case. We fight for the justice our clients deserve. 

When we sue an at-fault driver, we navigate the litigation process and develop robust support we present to the jury at trial. The jury will determine the outcome of the trial, including how much money our client will receive if we win the case.

Our Upper Darby Lawyers Only Have a Limited Time to Begin Your Crash Case

Under 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5524(2), you may only have two years to begin an injury or wrongful death lawsuit in Upper Darby, PA. While this may seem like plenty of time to act, building a strong case takes time. We need to preserve evidence and protect your right to pursue fault-based compensation. 

Let us handle the insurance companies while you heal. Contact us as soon as your injuries let you make the call so we can begin work on your case immediately.
