In general, when someone is injured as a result of an auto accident due to another person's negligence, the injured party may file a claim against the party or parties that caused the injuries.
If the defendant is found to have been negligent and that negligence was the cause of your injury, you have the right to compensation for an auto accident. Any injury case depends on liability, damages, and whether or not you can collect from the negligent party or parties.
If you have been involved in a car accident, as a driver, passenger, or pedestrian, call Conexión Legal immediately so that an expert from our team can provide you with the best free consultation and achieve the fair injury compensation you deserve.
Even if you were partially at fault for your injuries, you may be entitled to recover a portion of the damages. In the case of Pennsylvania, the doctrine of modified comparative negligence has been adopted, by which a claimant's action will be barred if their concurrent negligence was greater than the negligence of the defendants.
Otherwise, the claimant's recovery is diminished in proportion to the amount of negligence attributed to the claimant.
The Personal Injury Law attempts to cover all areas and types of injuries suffered by individuals. Some of the most common areas are auto accidents, premises liability, medical malpractice, and product liability, among others. Whether or not you are entitled to compensation may depend on the type of accident that caused the damage.
In the case of a car accident, you should be examined thoroughly by a doctor, as some injuries that might appear minor can lead to serious health problems.
Even if you do not have broken bones, cuts, lacerations, or bruises, you may have suffered connective tissue injuries, which if not treated in time, can lead to long-term adverse effects. The insurance company of the at-fault party is responsible for paying for all damages caused in the accident.
Accident victims and families of those who have died in these traffic incidents face a difficult situation that is further complicated by Pennsylvania's complex insurance and legal matters laws.
Insurance companies are primarily interested in reducing their payments, so the victim's needs take a back seat. While insurance companies may offer a settlement that you might consider an attractive offer, it is advisable to consult with a lawyer who will prioritize your needs over the insurance company's interests.
Insurance companies have a team of investigators, agents, and legal assistance that protect their interests. As a victim of an accident, you need your own team of experts to protect you.
The damages that can be recovered after a car accident vary depending on the state. Victims of this type of accident in Pennsylvania and survivors may sue the driver of the vehicle when any of the following criteria are met:
- The victim dies, or suffers serious permanent disfigurement.
- A bone is fractured.
- Loses one of the senses.
- Loses a limb.
- Medical or similar expenses are $2,000 dollars or more.
- Personal Injury Protection (PIP) policies required by law
