Maximizing Recovery Resources After A Car Crash

You may be surprised to learn that in Pennsylvania, your options after a car accident can be limited by the choices you made at the time you purchased your car insurance. In Pennsylvania, one factor that may limit your recovery in the event of an automobile accident is your choice of coverage. In Pennsylvania, your choice of coverage affects your ability to recover for damages sustained as a result of another operator’s negligence. Specifically, the “Full Tort” or “Limited Tort” options offered when you purchase your auto insurance may determine your ability to recover for damages resulting from an auto accident. The “Limited Tort” option limits your ability to recover for injuries sustained as the result of another operator’s negligence to “serious injuries.” The law defines “serious injuries” as personal injuries resulting in death, serious impairment of a bodily function or permanent serious disfigurement. Most courts have held that “soft tissue” injuries such as neck and back sprains and strains do not rise to the level of “serious injury.” If you are shopping for automobile insurance, understand these differences in coverage and the effect your choices could have in the future.
