Car Accident Lawyer Serving Philadelphia, PA
Car accident cases in Pennsylvania are not “just like” other injury claims—auto insurance rules, first-party benefits, and tort elections can shape what you can recover and when. At Crouthamel Law, our personal injury lawyer helps Philadelphia crash victims handle their claim the right way from day one.
Car accident cases we handle
- Rear-end and intersection collisions
- Multi-vehicle crashes
- Hit-and-run claims
- Uninsured/underinsured driver scenarios
- Pedestrian and bicycle impacts involving motor vehicles
Pennsylvania Auto Coverage Issues That Affect Your Case
- First-party medical benefits: Pennsylvania auto policies include required medical benefits, with minimum coverage requirements set by law.
- Limited tort vs. full tort: Pennsylvania law allows an election of tort options that can limit recovery for certain non-economic damages unless the “serious injury” threshold is met.
Proving Fault and Maximizing Compensation
- Preserve photos/video, black-box data (when available), and witness details
- Obtain crash reports and evaluate violations, sight lines, and roadway factors
- Use medical documentation to show causation and long-term impact
- Present a damages package that includes future treatment and wage loss
Move Quickly as Evidence Can Disappear
Surveillance footage and vehicle data can be overwritten, and witnesses become harder to locate. Early legal involvement protects leverage.
