Philadelphia Traffic Accident Near Me

Looking for a Philadelphia traffic accident lawyer near you is a wise decision. This is because Pennsylvania has complex traffic laws that make it challenging for the injured to recover damages if their claims don't meet certain requirements. When nursing your injuries or mourning a loved one killed in a traffic accident, the last thing you want is to deal with manipulative and tight-fisted insurance companies. Add that to the state's often-confusing "choice" no-fault system, and you'll likely feel overwhelmed even before your case reaches the negotiation table or appears before a judge or jury. That's where we come in as America's largest injury firm to help you navigate these complexities. Contact us today to learn more about how we might be able to help.

FAQ

Where Do I File a Claim if I Get Injured in a Traffic Accident in Philadelphia?

That's usually one of the trickiest things about auto insurance laws in this city. You can typically file a claim with your insurance provider if you purchased a 'no-fault' coverage. The other option is to file a claim with the other party if you purchased the 'full tort' insurance option.

What Damages Can I Recover if I File a Claim After a Traffic Accident?

Again, it all narrows down to the specifics of your case. If you purchase no-fault insurance, you'll recover medical and out-of-pocket expenses. On the other hand, if you are covered by the tort-based insurance option, you'll recover both economic and non-economic damages.

What if My No-Fault Insurance Is Not Enough To Settle My Medical Bills?

Even though you may be able to recover compensation from your own insurance provider through the no-fault insurance coverage (if you opted for this option), state laws allow you to "step outside" this rule if you meet what it describes as the "serious injury threshold."

What Is Pennsylvania's Serious Injury Threshold for Traffic Accident Claims?

The specific threshold for what constitutes a "serious injury" often includes:

Injuries that result in death.
Serious impairment of bodily function.
Permanent serious disfigurement.

How Can Morgan and Morgan Help Me?

Because car accident laws in Pennsylvania are complicated, insurance companies will try to hide valuable information from you.

At Morgan and Morgan, we have an army of more than 800 trial-ready attorneys ready to fight for your rights. Whether it was a case of hit and run, wrongful death, or bad faith insurance practices, we have the right attorney to take on the at-fault party and their representatives.
