Car Accident Insurance
Need to deal with your insurance company? We can help!
Car insurance is required by law, but just because you have coverage does not mean that you will have a smooth experience if you do end up getting into a car accident. In the wake of a traffic collision, insurance claims adjusters are not on your side. They are trained to make it sound as though they are offering you as much coverage as possible, but they will do whatever they can to avoid a full payout for your accident, even if it was not your fault.
Your best decision after a car accident is to hire a Pittsburgh personal injury lawyer who has experience working with insurance companies. Such representation will give you the highest chance of recovering the compensation you deserve.

We know what insurance companies can and cannot do and we can ensure that you receive the coverage that you have been promised through your policy.

Pennsylvania Auto Insurance Requirements
The state of Pennsylvania requires that all drivers purchase at least the minimum coverage options:
- Medical benefits
- Bodily injury liability
- Property damage liability
- Limited or full Tort Coverage
Optional coverages include:
- Uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage
- Funeral benefit
- Income loss
- Collision
- Comprehensive
- Extraordinary medical benefits
- Accidental death benefit
- Rental reimbursement coverage
- Towing coverage
- Gap coverage
If you are involved in an accident that was not your fault, the at-fault driver’s insurance company will be paying your damages up to the at-fault driver’s policy limits. If your injuries and other accident expenses exceed what the at-fault driver’s insurance will cover, then your insurance policy may be able to make up the difference. In some cases, you can sue the at-fault driver for additional damages.
