We Handle First- and Third-Party Car Accident Claims
Pennsylvania requires drivers to carry at least $5,000 in first-party medical benefits. This insurance pays for injuries to the driver and other covered parties after an accident, no matter who is at fault for the collision. Drivers must also have auto liability insurance to pay for any accident damage they cause.
In addition, drivers must choose between full and limited tort coverage. Full tort has more expensive monthly premiums, but your right to seek compensation from a liable driver is unrestricted. According to the Pennsylvania Insurance Department, if you select limited tort, you may be unable to recover certain damages, including awards for pain and suffering.
An Altoona distracted driving accident attorney can help you with a claim against your medical benefits and fight for maximum coverage under your policy limits. We can also help you pursue a liability claim or personal injury lawsuit against a negligent driver, including proving your right to recover noneconomic losses.

Contact Us Now For HelpWhat Is Distracted Driving?
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation defines distracted driving as anything that:
- Takes your eyes off the road
- Takes your hands off the wheel
- Takes your attention off driving
Common distractions include cell phones, vehicle controls, eating and drinking, grooming, and other passengers. When drivers don’t pay attention, they could make errors that lead to accidents. They may also fail to engage in defensive driving practices that could decrease a crash’s severity.
Distracted driving may cause a motorist to:
- Speed
- Tailgate
- Fail to brake behind a leading vehicle
- Fail to obey traffic signs and signals
- Fail to maintain lane position
- Fail to notice a driver in their blind spot
- Travel the wrong way down a divided highway or one-way street
- Make an improper turn or “cut off” another driver
You need an attorney with the experience and dedication to give your case the care it deserves.

Speak To An Attorney TodayHow Long Do You Have to Pursue a Distracted Driving Claim in Pennsylvania?
The statute of limitations for most personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits in Pennsylvania is two years, according to Pa. C.S.A. § 5524. If you do not file your case before the deadline expires, you likely cannot pursue damages in court. Being unable to sue will remove any leverage you have over insurance companies, so the time limit will also affect insurance claims.
