Helping Auto Accident Victims Get Fair Compensation
The severity of auto accident injuries varies widely depending on the size and speed of the vehicles, whether the vehicle had air bags and whether the passengers were wearing seat belts. Even low-speed collisions that cause minimal damage to the vehicle can result in serious injuries.
Injuries that form the basis of accident claims include:
- Whiplash
- Head trauma
- Brain injuries
- Broken bones
- Internal bleeding
- Fatal injuries
Any immediate pain treated with medicine could be just the beginning of your needs to address long-term damage to muscles and ligaments or nerve damage. It is important to review even the minor pain you experience after an auto accident with your attorney.
If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident in the Lehigh Valley or southeastern Pennsylvania, we can help you assess your current injuries and potential for future medical expenses. We go to work to make sure you receive the right compensation for your ongoing needs.
Representing Motorcycle Accident Victims
Unfortunately, when someone is hit on a motorcycle, the injuries are almost always severe. That is why having an experienced personal injury attorney handle the claim is of utmost importance. Motorcycle accidents are usually the result of careless driving by others and crowding the motorcycle on the roadway.
Common causes of motorcycle accidents include:
- Cars making sudden lane changes
- Drivers distracted by smartphones or GPS
- Ignoring blind spots
- Impeding a biker’s path
- Failing to yield to the motorcycle’s right of way
- Running stop signs and red lights
If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, call an experienced motorcycle accident attorney. Call Jill for Justice today.
Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Insurance Coverage Options And How They Affect Your Claim
Limited tort and full tort insurance coverage options: You can choose the type of coverage you want. Limited tort insurance is not as expensive, however, it does not provide as much coverage, especially for noneconomic damages. Full tort coverage costs more, but it provides more compensation for damages, including noneconomic damages such as pain and suffering.
No-fault coverage: In Pennsylvania, you are required to have personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. This is a no-fault policy that compensates you for immediate economic losses, including medical bills. We can help you get benefits under your PIP policy if necessary.
Uninsured motorist (UM) and underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage: You can opt out of this coverage if you choose, but it can be useful. UM insurance pays damages for physical injuries when the other driver has no insurance or leaves the scene of the accident. UIM insurance covers your medical expenses that are over and above the other driver’s insurance coverage. This type of insurance can cover critical gaps in the other driver’s coverage.
When we speak about your motor vehicle claim, we can review your insurance policy and explain what your options are.
