Help From a Team With Court Experience
Our legal team regularly appears in Philadelphia courts. We represent clients in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas. Collectively, our firm has obtained more than $135 million in verdicts and settlements for injury clients (results depend on individual circumstances).
Pennsylvania Insurance System Knowledge
Pennsylvania’s choice no-fault framework differs from both traditional fault-based and pure no-fault systems. We review your tort election, identify any exceptions (e.g., drunk driving crashes or out-of-state vehicles), and assess whether the serious-injury threshold is met.
Philadelphia Roadway Familiarity
Roosevelt Boulevard’s 12-lane design contributes to its reputation as Philadelphia’s deadliest road. On the Schuylkill Expressway, chronic congestion and narrow lanes contribute to crash clusters. Interstate 95’s heavy truck traffic generates serious crashes.
Common contributing factors to motor vehicle accidents include:
- Distracted driving
- Speeding
- Violations such as running red lights
We understand these hazards and work with accident reconstruction experts who are familiar with these corridors.
Accessible Representation With Flexible Terms
We work under contingency fee arrangements, meaning clients pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation. For seriously injured clients who are unable to travel, we conduct consultations at homes or medical facilities.

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Claims
Uninsured motorist (UM) coverage activates when at-fault drivers carry no liability insurance or in hit-and-run crashes. Pennsylvania law requires insurers to offer UM coverage equal to bodily injury liability limits unless you reject it in writing.
Underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage bridges the gap between at-fault drivers’ inadequate limits and the actual damage amounts.
Pennsylvania allows stacked and unstacked UM/UIM coverage. We can tell you more about this coverage when you contact us for help.

FAQ for Philadelphia Car Accident Cases
Our personal injury team can provide the answers you need after an auto accident.
Contact us for answers to questions like:
How Does Limited Tort Affect My Case?
Limited tort restrictions bar recovery of noneconomic damages unless the serious injury threshold is satisfied or an exception applies. Serious impairment requires physician-documented functional limitations or surgical interventions.
Exceptions for drunk driving, vehicles registered in other states, and pedestrian crashes eliminate restrictions.
What if I Share Some Fault for the Collision?
Pennsylvania permits recovery when the victim bears less than 51% responsibility, with awards reduced by fault percentages. Insurance carriers aggressively attribute fault to victims.
We counter allegations with witness statements and expert reconstruction analysis, establishing that primary liability rests with opposing drivers.
What Do I Need to Know About Car Insurance in PA?
Pennsylvania’s car insurance system doesn’t make it easy on crash victims. Drivers must choose between limited tort and full tort coverage when buying a policy, a decision that can later decide whether you’re allowed to recover for pain and suffering.
What Evidence Helps With Car Crash Claims?
Critical documentation includes:
- Police crash reports from the Philadelphia Police Department
- Medical records from all treatment providers
- Photographs of vehicles, crash scenes, and injuries
- Witness contact information and statements
- Vehicle repair estimates and diminished value assessments
- Pay stubs documenting lost income
Decline recorded statements to other drivers’ insurers unless advised by counsel. Bring complete documentation to consultations so we can assess your case’s strength.
How Much Money Can I Recover From My Philadelphia Car Accident Case?
Settlement values depend on the severity of injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the available insurance coverage. An experienced attorney can evaluate your case and provide a realistic assessment of its potential value.
