INJURY | PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER | PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY | INJURIES

In Pennsylvania, car insurance companies give drivers the option of purchasing “limited tort” or “full tort.” Limited tort means you can’t sue for pain and suffering unless you suffer a serious, permanent injury. Full tort means you can sue for all damages related to the accident, including pain and suffering, regardless of injuries. Most attorneys suggest you pay the slightly higher price for full tort to protect yourself in the event of a serious car accident. Besides car accidents, Pennsylvania personal injury cases include medical malpractice, defective products, defamation, wrongful death, and more.

Pennsylvania’s statute of limitations for personal injury cases is two years, which is a very short time period to prepare a claim. If that two year mark expires, personal injury victims cannot file claims. Most personal injury attorneys suggest you file as soon as possible, and with their help, you can recover damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, and property damages.
