Re: Auto Accident

Dear Sir/Madam:

The short answer to your question, in my opinion, is "yes".

However, I need to know more facts about your case to give you a more full answer to your question. You are entitled to be compensated for any/all reasonable and forseeable work related damages (including vacation days used).

I am an attorney who handles cases such as yours in PA, NJ and FL.

Please email me at the address below.

Perhaps I can help you out a bit.

Re: Auto Accident

The answer is yes, you do need an attorney to represent you, to get actual legal advice based on all the facts. But that wasn't your question, I know.

The basic rule is that a defendant is not entitled to any credit for insurance or other benefits that a victim may have. The victim paid for them, not the defendant.

However, in auto accident cases, PA insurance law has changed a lot of the traditional rules, and it depends on the nature of the benefits you received, and possibly the options on your own insurance policy.

You may also be entitled to income loss benefits from your own auto insurance, under PIP coverage.

If the other driver didn't have enough insurance, then you may have a claim under your own Underinsured Motorist coverage. But all those issues depend on various things so you really need an attorney. Unless the at fault driver's insurance company's already offered the policy limits and you don't want to pursue any other angles.

Re: Auto Accident

Yes. You should be making a claim against the at-fault driver's insurance company for lost wages, unpaid medical bills, and, most importantly, pain and suffering. I'm biased, but I'm convinced you'll get far more money if you're represented by an experienced personal injury atty who knows how to manage cases like yours, knows how to "package" your case, and knows how to "sell" it to the at-fault insurance company. Please call (toll free) if you want to discuss.

Re: Auto Accident

The short answer is yes. It sounds like a serious motor vehicle accident that requires the assistance of an attorney experienced in this area. Do not settle any portion of the case until you are sure that all available coverages have been exhausted. There may be layers of insurance from both the at fault party, and within your household. Please contact me to discuss further.
