Motor Vehicle Accidents
Traffic accidents in Pennsylvania and nationwide have become an unfortunate part of life. These crashes happen for a variety of reasons including:
- Driver error or inexperience
- Vehicle defects including defective brakes
- Excessive speed
- Dangerous road conditions
- Distracted driving
- Impaired driving
As populations grow along with the number of drivers on American roads, so too do the number of people who lose their lives in car accidents.
Jason has represented hundreds of clients in motor vehicle related claims during his career. It is important to hire an experienced lawyer in this field to navigate the complexities of insurance coverages. These complexities include the following:
- First party benefits provided by the injured party’s insurance company.
- Uninsured motorist claims. This applies when the negligent driver has no insurance.
- Underinsured motorist claim. This apples when the negligent driver does not have enough insurance to compensate for the injured party’s harm.
- Pennsylvania laws with respect to various insurance provisions that are no longer applicable.
Further, it is important to retain an experienced lawyer shortly after an accident to protect your rights and not jeopardize your claim by speaking with the negligent driver’s insurance company. In addition, it is important to gather evidence early in the process before it no longer exists. This includes video footage from local authorities and photographs of vehicle damage, injuries, accident scene. It is important to speak with witnesses shortly after an accident while their recollection is fresh.
