According to the Pennsylvania Insurance Department Automobile Insurance Guide, McCandless drivers operate under a no-fault insurance law. No-fault states require all licensed drivers to seek coverage for losses caused by accidents through their own insurance provider. A few exceptions apply, but if you suffered severe injuries, your medical bills and other financial losses may very well exceed the amount of coverage offered by your own insurance plan. In these cases, the law allows those victims of severe injury to file personal injury lawsuits against the liable parties.
Uninsured motorist coverage (UM) also provides an option for additional compensation from your own insurer if you experience an accident with an uninsured driver or a driver who flees the scene of the accident. Not everyone carries this additional coverage, though. Personal injury lawsuits allow for a legal avenue to pursue damages from a responsible party. The burden of proving liability and losses (as well as the task of navigating litigation) then falls on the victim’s shoulders. They have the right to seek legal representation when pursuing a lawsuit of this nature.
If you experienced an accident while on your motorcycle that you believe resulted from another driver’s carelessness, you may qualify for compensation either through an insurance claim or a personal injury lawsuit. A McCandless motorcycle accident lawyer may assist you with both options, should you choose to pursue compensation.

If you retain our services, our first course of action may be to seek a settlement from the negligent driver’s insurance company. We may do this to avoid the cost and time it would require to take your case to court so you can receive your compensation sooner rather than later.
If we cannot reach fair negotiations with the other driver’s insurer, we have no problem representing your case in court. If we do this, though, certain deadlines apply. In Pennsylvania, Section 5524 of the state’s limitation of time allows you two years from the date of the motorcycle accident to file a personal injury lawsuit against a negligent party.
Two years may seem like enough time to go through all these legal processes, but the legal system takes more time than you may expect. Negotiations with insurers alone may prove lengthy if an insurer and your lawyer struggle to come to a fair settlement. You want the peace of mind of knowing you have the time to file a personal injury lawsuit should you need to do so when seeking fair compensation for your injuries.
You also want to make sure you have time to follow through with any doctor-ordered treatments or follow-up visits, as these may go a long way in proving the severity of your damages in a court of law.
We can address all the legal hurdles that may be keeping you from getting a fair settlement.

If you lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident, you may also qualify to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Please accept our deepest condolences if such a tragic event occurred in your family. Sometimes, taking legal action may help deal with the financial aspects of the loss, including the funeral expenses and lost wages (if your loved one worked).
In Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death lawsuit also allows for two years from the date of your loved one’s passing under Section 5524. The more time that passes between the accident and your loved one’s passing may complicate gathering evidence for your lawsuit. So, you may want to contact a lawyer as soon as possible in this situation.
