Who is at Fault in a Car Accident?

One reason why it’s advisable to discuss your situation with an attorney if you suffered an injury in a car accident in Pennsylvania is the state’s often-confusing “no-fault” insurance system. With no-fault insurance, the victim’s insurance covers medical expenses up to the personal injury protection (PIP) limit. Pennsylvania drivers have the option to choose between no-fault insurance or traditional insurance, or what is legally defined as limited tort coverage or full tort coverage. The limited tort, or no-fault, option comes with a savings on premiums and allows you to recover all out-of-pocket medical expenses up to the PIP limit. However, it prevents you from recovering certain damages, like pain and suffering, unless there’s an injury that meets one of the exceptions defined by the state.

Can I Sue A Drunk Driver?

A drunk driver can be prosecuted in criminal and civil courts since drunk driving is illegal. Hagelgans & Veronis are experienced car accident attorneys who pursued compensation for many persons and their families who were injured or killed by a drunk driver in a civil lawsuit. Check out our blog post that answers this question in more detail.

Car Accidents without Insurance

Pennsylvania does not require drivers to purchase additional uninsured motorist (UM) or underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage. Motorists may choose to supplement their required car insurance coverage with these options. If you were hurt in a collision with an underinsured or uninsured driver and lack UM or UIM insurance, you have the option of taking legal action against the at-fault driver, but there is a risk that person lacks the assets to cover your claim. UM coverage provides protection if you or your passengers suffer bodily injury in a collision with an at-fault, uninsured driver. UIM covers you and your passengers for bodily injury if an underinsured driver hits you. While you can have UM and UIM coverage, neither option covers damage to property. UM or UIM coverage is the best way to protect yourself if you’re in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver. Even with supplemental UM or UIM insurance, your insurance company’s initial offer may not be sufficient to cover your actual costs.
