It may be possible to win a car accident settlement on your own, but there are many things you will need to know in order to ensure you get a fair settlement. In addition, the Pennsylvania auto insurance laws are among the most complex in the nation, and your claim and settlement will need to abide by them and fall within their parameters.
In most cases, we recommend letting a car accident attorney in Pittsburgh from Berger and Green review your case and handle your insurance claims on your behalf. This will ensure you identify as many losses as possible and pursue a wide range of damages, as allowed based on the facts of your case and the commonwealth’s auto insurance law.
Understanding “Choice No-Fault” Auto Insurance
Title 75, (Chapter 17) of the PA Code is sometimes referred to as “choice no-fault.” When you purchase car insurance, you choose full tort or limited tort. Depending on your choice, there may be limits on the type of damages you can recover from the at-fault driver following an accident.
If you opt for a full tort policy, you can pursue both economic and noneconomic damages from the at-fault driver. This includes your accident-related expenses, as well as pain and suffering damages. With a limited tort policy, you cannot recover noneconomic damages from the at-fault driver unless you meet certain criteria.
Known as the serious injury threshold, these criteria include suffering:
- Death
- Serious impairment of bodily function
- Permanent serious disfigurement
When you trust our team to help you with your case, we will review your insurance policy and help you file your claim.
