The moment your vehicle is hit by another vehicle, or your motorcycle barrels into a tree, or a merging car bumps you off the road, your life can instantly change.

The chaos and the shock of an accident can overwhelm you, but knowing what to do in the moments immediately following an accident is very important for your personal injury case. It’s important to be diligent and follow these steps:
To figure out how much compensation you may be entitled to, it's important to understand that Pennsylvania is considered a comparative fault state. That means the number of damages you may recover in an auto accident lawsuit will be reduced by a percentage that is equal to your level of fault in causing the crash.
For instance, if you were involved in a car accident that was caused by another driver, but you were also speeding, the court may find that you were 10% at fault for the accident. As a result, that means your overall settlement will be reduced by 10% to account for your level of responsibility in causing the crash. If the court ultimately awards you $100,000 in damages for your injuries, you will actually only be entitled to receive $90,000.
It's important you have knowledgeable and experienced auto accident attorneys working for you to maximize your chances of receiving the compensation you need. It’s never a good idea to go at this alone.
