Legal Question in Personal Injury in Pennsylvania

I was in a car accident 2 days ago. I was a backseat passenger in a car that was rear-ended at a red light. We were stopped at the light for some time, when all the sudden, boom, we were hit. It was clearly negligence on the other party involved. I sustained a descent case of whiplash from the accident. Am I entitled to sue?

If you're hurt & seek medical treatment you can sue. I've been handling injury cases like yours for over 25 years. Please call to discuss- free consultation. There's no attorney fee unless we recovery money for you.

Yes. However, if you are a limited tort insured, you may be precluded. I've got to ask you a few questions to determine if you're limited tort. Please call at your convenience--no charge for the call.

You are entitled to submit a claim for injuries. We would first notify the other driver's insurance of yoru claim. Once you have completed treatment, we would submit your medical records and bill and a settlement demand. Only if you do not settle, would we have to "sue" and go to court. You should immediately treat with your family doctor or emergency room. If you do not ahve a family doctor, I can refer you to medical professionals with several office locations. I have 6 office locations where I meet clients and offer a freee consultation. Philadelphiaaccidentlawyer.net
