What Kind of Lawyer Do I Need If I Am at Fault in a Car Accident?

What Kind of Lawyer Do I Need If I Am at Fault in a Car Accident?

If you cause a car accident, it is best to consult a lawyer. This is due to the fact that insurers are not always eager to settle cases fairly. In Pennsylvania, there is another issue associated with car accidents. The state is no-fault, which means both the at-fault party and the injured person go to their own insurance company to be compensated. However, there are situations where the amount of compensation is greater than the insured’s policy. In this case, a lawsuit can be filed against the at-fault party.
