Compensation for Car Accident Claims in Pennsylvania
When pursuing compensation for car accident claims in Pennsylvania, it's crucial to understand the types of damages available. Victims may be entitled to recover both economic and non-economic damages, which could include:
- Medical Expenses: Covering the costs of emergency care, surgeries, physical therapy, and ongoing medical treatments.
- Lost Wages: Compensation for time missed from work due to injuries or recovery.
- Property Damage: Repair or replacement costs for your vehicle and other personal property damaged in the accident.
- Pain and Suffering: Non-economic damages for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident.
- Loss of Consortium: Compensation for the impact the injuries have on a victim's personal relationships.
Understanding Insurance Claims After a Car Accident
Dealing with insurance companies after a car accident can be a stressful and confusing experience, especially when you're focused on recovering from your injuries. It’s important to understand how insurance works and the role it plays in your claim.
In Pennsylvania, the state follows a no-fault insurance system, which means that your own insurance will initially cover medical expenses, no matter who is at fault for the accident. However, if your injuries are severe, you may be able to pursue compensation from the at-fault driver's insurance company. One of the most challenging aspects of the insurance process is dealing with adjusters. Insurance companies often try to offer quick settlements that don’t fully cover the true cost of your injuries, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. This is where having an experienced lawyer on your side can make all the difference.
We’ll Stand Up Against the Insurance Companies for You
Navigating the legal process and dealing with insurance companies can be overwhelming. To recover compensation after an accident, it’s essential to level the playing field against insurance companies. No matter what an insurance adjuster tries to make you believe, the fact is insurance companies will try to pay you as little as possible for your accident claim.
An adjuster works for the insurance company. They have a responsibility to try to pay you as little as possible. Insurance adjusters will try to get you to settle your case early before you even know the full extent of your injuries and before you even stop treatment. This is where our team of experienced car accident attorneys can help. We work hard to fight for the compensation you're due.
How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Claim in Pennsylvania?
In Pennsylvania, you have two years from your car accident date to file a personal injury claim. If there were injuries that were not discovered until after the car accident, such as experiencing neck or back pain a few days later, the clock would not start ticking until the injury discovery date.
The courts will typically not agree to hear a case if the claimant has missed their deadline to file. Even if the courts allow the claimant to proceed, it will most likely drop it later when the defendant uses the missed deadline to defend the claim.
If you lost a loved one, you have two years from the person’s date of death to file a wrongful death claim. Different types of accident claims have other deadlines. It’s crucial to speak to a lawyer about your specific case.
How a Pennsylvania Car Accident Attorney Can Help
Obtaining a car accident lawyer can be very valuable to your injury claim. After an accident, hiring an experienced lawyer puts someone in your corner who knows the state’s laws and tricks insurance companies may try to play. Accident victims who have an experienced car crash attorney on their side typically receive more than three times the compensation than those who
handle their claims on their own. By working with a knowledgeable car accident lawyer, you’ll have someone on your side who knows how to get things done and ensure you are not taken advantage of.
