Understanding Pennsylvania Car Accident Claims
Pennsylvania's automobile insurance laws can be complicated. Issues involving limited tort, full tort, uninsured motorist coverage, and underinsured motorist coverage often determine the value of a claim.
Depending upon 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 Lackawanna County car accident lawyer can explain your rights and help you pursue the compensation you deserve.
Limited Tort and Full Tort in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania drivers generally choose between limited tort and full tort automobile insurance coverage. That election can significantly affect the damages available after a collision.
With full tort, an injured person generally preserves the right to seek compensation for both financial losses and pain and suffering, subject to the facts of the case.
With limited tort, recovery for pain and suffering may be restricted unless the injured person suffered a serious injury or qualifies for one of the exceptions recognized under Pennsylvania law. A serious injury generally involves death, serious impairment of a body function, or permanent serious disfigurement.
Exceptions may exist 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
Insurance coverage can be complicated, particularly when multiple policies or household members are involved. Our office can review your insurance coverage and determine whether you may pursue compensation for pain and suffering despite a limited tort election.
