Understanding Pennsylvania Car Accident Claims

Pennsylvania has unique automobile insurance laws that can significantly affect your claim. Questions involving limited tort, full tort, uninsured motorist coverage, and underinsured motorist coverage are often more complicated than people realize.

Depending on your circumstances, 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 Columbia County car accident lawyer can evaluate your case and explain your legal rights.

Limited Tort and Full Tort in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania drivers generally choose between limited tort and full tort when purchasing automobile insurance. That choice can significantly affect the compensation available after a collision.

With full tort, an injured person generally retains the right to seek compensation for both economic losses and non-economic damages, including pain and suffering, subject to the facts of the claim.

With limited tort, an injured person may still recover medical expenses, lost wages, and other financial losses, but recovery for pain and suffering is generally restricted unless the person suffers a serious injury or qualifies for a statutory exception. Pennsylvania law defines serious injury as an injury resulting in death, serious impairment of a body function, or permanent serious disfigurement.

Exceptions may apply in certain circumstances, including cases involving:

A drunk driver
A vehicle registered outside Pennsylvania
An uninsured driver
An intentional act
A serious injury
Certain claims involving defective vehicles or vehicle components

Insurance coverage and household residency can also affect which tort option applies. For example, the tort selection made on a family policy may sometimes apply to other household members insured under that policy.

Because these issues can be complicated, you should not assume that limited tort prevents you from pursuing a claim. An experienced Columbia County car accident lawyer can review the insurance policies, accident circumstances, and injuries to determine what compensation may be available.
