Understanding Pennsylvania Car Accident Claims
Pennsylvania's automobile insurance system is different from many other states. Questions involving limited tort, full tort, uninsured motorist coverage, and underinsured motorist coverage often determine what compensation may be available.
Depending on the facts of your case, you may be entitled to recover compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Future medical treatment
- Lost wages
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Permanent disability
An experienced Carbon County car accident lawyer can evaluate your claim and explain your legal rights.
Limited Tort and Full Tort in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania drivers generally choose between limited tort and full tort automobile insurance when purchasing coverage.
With full tort, injured victims generally preserve the ability to seek compensation for pain and suffering, in addition to financial losses.
With limited tort, recovery for pain and suffering may be limited unless the injured person sustained a serious injury or qualifies for one of Pennsylvania's statutory exceptions.
Exceptions may apply when:
- The at-fault driver was under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- The at-fault vehicle was registered outside Pennsylvania
- The injured person suffered a serious injury
- The accident involved an uninsured vehicle
- The injuries resulted from an intentional act
Determining whether limited tort applies can be complicated. Our office can review your insurance policy, the facts of your accident, and your injuries to determine what compensation may be available.
