Pennsylvania requires drivers to carry at least $5,000 in first-party medical benefits. This insurance pays for injuries to the driver and other covered parties after an accident, no matter who is at fault for the collision. Drivers must also have auto liability insurance to pay for any accident damage they cause.
In addition, drivers must choose between full and limited tort coverage. Full tort has more expensive monthly premiums, but your right to seek compensation from a liable driver is unrestricted. According to the Pennsylvania Insurance Department, if you select limited tort, you may be unable to recover certain damages, including awards for pain and suffering.
An Altoona distracted driving accident attorney can help you with a claim against your medical benefits and fight for maximum coverage under your policy limits. We can also help you pursue a liability claim or personal injury lawsuit against a negligent driver, including proving your right to recover noneconomic losses.
