Pennsylvania Car Accident Lawyer
Most car accident victims in Pennsylvania don't need a lawyer — until they realize their own insurance company is the one fighting them. We handle Pennsylvania auto cases from fender-benders to fatalities.
What sets Pennsylvania car accidents cases apart
Pennsylvania is a 'choice no-fault' state. Whether you have 'limited tort' or 'full tort' on your policy dramatically changes what you can recover — and exceptions to limited tort (serious injury, DUI driver, out-of-state vehicle, commercial vehicle) often apply.
First-party medical benefits (PIP) pay for your initial medical care regardless of fault. We make sure the right benefits are coordinated and that PIP exhaustion doesn't leave you stranded.
Underinsured and uninsured motorist (UIM/UM) coverage is often the most valuable asset in a serious case — and we stack those limits whenever the law allows.
Distracted driving, drunk driving, and commercial drivers raise the value of a claim and can open the door to punitive damages.
Adjusters routinely lowball injured Pennsylvanians who do not have a lawyer. Represented victims consistently recover more, even after attorney fees.

- Medical expenses beyond PIP
- Lost wages and lost earning capacity
- Pain and suffering, embarrassment, and loss of life's pleasures (subject to your tort election and its exceptions)
- Property damage and rental costs
- Punitive damages against drunk, drugged, or recklessly distracted drivers
