Seeking Financial Damages for Your Injuries
In a high-traffic region such as ours, with busy highways like the Pennsylvania Turnpike, I-95, US-1 and Street Road, car and truck accidents ranging from fender-benders to SUV rollovers to serious multi-vehicle pileups are frequent. These accidents can cause major injuries such as brain and head injuries, neck and back injuries, fractures, and herniated or ruptured discs.
If you've been injured in a motor vehicle crash, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages and property damage, as well as your past and future pain and suffering. Experienced personal injury lawyers can help you pursue the best strategies for obtaining the maximum compensation to which you are legally entitled.
Auto Insurance Policy Consequences
If you've been in a car accident caused by another driver's negligence, you probably expect that driver's insurance company to compensate you. However, in Pennsylvania, what type of insurance you have can also have a major effect on your case.
In Pennsylvania, if you have purchased "limited tort" insurance, you may not be entitled to compensation for your injuries unless you have suffered a serious impairment of a bodily function, scarring or disfigurement. There are some exceptions, however. For example, if you were hit by an out-of-state vehicle, a drunk driver or were occupying a commercial vehicle, you are likely entitled to full compensation, no matter what your policy provides (even if it is a "limited tort" policy).
Also, you may have coverage on your policy for injuries caused by "uninsured" and "underinsured" motorists. These policy provisions protect you if you are in a car crash caused by someone with no insurance, a hit-and-run driver, or someone with too little insurance to cover your injuries.
