Start A Free EvaluationUnderstanding Your Legal Options After a Dormont Car Accident
Pennsylvania has unique car insurance laws that can complicate understanding your rights after a crash. Our team will assess your case and explain your options during your free case consultation.
Under 75 Pa. C.S.A. § 1705, Pennsylvania has a choice no-fault insurance law. Drivers who live and register their cars in Dormont have two options for purchasing auto liability coverage:
- Full Tort: You retain the right to pursue the at-fault driver for both your economic and non-economic damages.
- Limited Tort Coverage: You can only pursue your economic damages from the driver who caused your crash unless the facts of your case fall under an exception.
Our team can review your case to determine your options after a crash. In many serious injury accidents, victims can pursue the other driver regardless of which type of insurance policy they hold. Our Dormont car accident attorneys represent victims hurt in these crashes.
After we determine your coverage and help you understand your options, we may offer to handle your claim with no upfront fees. To do this, we must show that the at-fault driver acted negligently. This requires evidence of liability and injuries caused by the accident. We identify and gather this evidence and then seek compensation for you.
We know you’re hurting. We can help. Free case evaluations, home and hospital visits.

When we file an insurance claim or sue on behalf of an injured client, we are seeking compensation. We do not believe our clients should have to pay expenses and losses when they did nothing to cause the crash or their injuries. Instead, the at-fault driver should pay.
This is the ultimate goal of a Dormont car accident and claim. We want to get money to cover our client’s expenses and losses, including intangible losses like pain and suffering. These recoverable damages differ from case to case. We identify the damages our client suffered, document them, determine a fair settlement range, and often demand a fair settlement from the insurance company.
The examples of damages common in car accident cases include:
Economic Damages
- Medical care costs, current and future
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Property damages, such as car repairs or replacement
- Miscellaneous expenses
Non-Economic Damages
- Pain and suffering damages
- Loss of the enjoyment of life
- Inconvenience
Wrongful Death Actions in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania law allows families to recover compensation if their loved one died in a crash. In most cases, the law limits who can file these claims to only the personal representative. This is likely the party handling probate of the estate or the party who will serve as executor of the will. Our team can assess your options during a free case evaluation.
You need an attorney with the experience and dedication to give your case the care it deserves.
Start A Free EvaluationHow Long Can I Wait to File a Dormont Car Accident Lawsuit?
One way we protect our clients’ rights is by ensuring we meet all applicable timelines in their cases. Missing the deadline to sue set by the state’s statute of limitations could have a negative effect on your ability to recover just compensation. We understand how and when to take legal action in a car accident case. This includes the two-year deadline set by Pa. C.S.A. § 5524.
We know that lawsuits are sometimes necessary and are effective at recovering fair compensation for clients whose case stalls in settlement negotiations or meets other criteria for a lawsuit.
We often continue to negotiate with the insurance company even after we begin the litigation process. In many cases, the insurer or legal team representing the liable party recognizes the strength of the case we have against their policyholder. This could lead to an out-of-court settlement before the trial date arrives. Negotiated settlements are still common after we file a lawsuit.
We can address all the legal hurdles that may be keeping you from getting a fair settlement.
