Frequently Asked Questions

  • In Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit after a car accident is two years from the date of the accident. If you do not file within this time frame, you may lose your right to pursue compensation.

    However, there are exceptions:

    • If the accident involves a minor, the statute of limitations may be extended until they turn 18 years old.
    • If the at-fault party is a government entity, special notice requirements and shorter deadlines may apply.

    Since legal deadlines can vary based on specific circumstances, it’s crucial to consult an experienced car accident lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights.

  • If you’ve been injured in a car accident due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to various types of compensation, including:

    Medical Expenses – Covers hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, medication, and future medical treatment.
    Lost Wages & Future Earnings – Compensation for missed work due to injury and any loss of earning capacity.
    Pain and Suffering – Non-economic damages for physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life.
    Property Damage – Covers vehicle repairs or replacement costs.
    Loss of Consortium – Compensation for the negative impact on your personal relationships due to your injuries.

    Our Abington car accident lawyers work tirelessly to ensure our clients recover the maximum compensation possible for their losses.

  • Taking the right steps after a car accident can protect your health and legal rights. Here’s what you should do:

    1. Ensure Safety – Move to a safe location if possible and check for injuries.
    2. Call 911 – Report the accident and request medical assistance if needed.
    3. Document the Scene – Take photos/videos of vehicle damage, injuries, road conditions, and traffic signals.
    4. Exchange Information – Get contact and insurance details from all involved drivers.
    5. Speak to Witnesses – Collect statements and contact information from bystanders.
    6. Seek Medical Attention – Even if injuries seem minor, visit a doctor to document any potential injuries.
    7. Contact an Attorney – Speak with an Abington Car Accident Lawyer before discussing your case with insurance companies.

    Avoid admitting fault or signing any insurance documents before consulting an attorney.

  • No. Insurance companies often offer low settlements in the hopes that you will accept less than what you deserve. These initial offers usually fail to account for:

    • Future medical expenses
    • Lost earning capacity
    • Ongoing pain and suffering

    Before accepting any settlement, consult with an experienced car accident lawyer who can negotiate on your behalf to secure a fair and full compensation package.

  • Pennsylvania follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning:

    • You can still recover compensation as long as you were less than 51% at fault for the accident.
    • Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

    For example, if you were found 20% at fault for the crash and your total damages were $100,000, your compensation would be reduced by 20%, leaving you with $80,000. Insurance companies often try to unfairly shift blame onto the victim to minimize payouts. Our Abington car accident lawyers are skilled at proving liability and fighting against blame-shifting tactics to maximize your compensation.
