Compensation You May Be Entitled to After a Motor Vehicle Accident

Pennsylvania is a choice no-fault state, which means your car insurance policy's Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage initially pays for medical expenses and lost wages regardless of who was at fault. However, depending on the coverage type you selected, you may also have the right to step outside the no-fault system and sue the at-fault driver for additional damages, particularly if your injuries meet Pennsylvania's serious injury threshold.

Our motor vehicle accident attorneys can help you recover:

All medical expenses, including emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, and future medical costs
Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
Vehicle repair or replacement costs
Out-of-pocket expenses related to the accident
Punitive damages in cases of grossly negligent behavior (such as drunk driving)

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Pennsylvania?+

Pennsylvania has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including car accidents. This means you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Missing this deadline typically results in losing your right to compensation entirely.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?+

Pennsylvania uses a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover compensation as long as you are less than 51% at fault. However, your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Our attorneys work to minimize your share of fault and maximize your recovery.

Do I need a lawyer for a minor car accident?+

Even in seemingly minor accidents, injuries can be more serious than they initially appear. It's always wise to consult with an attorney before accepting any settlement. Many "minor" accidents turn into significant claims once the full extent of injuries is understood.
