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 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.

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:
