Common Car Accident Injuries

Car accident injuries can vary in type and severity based on the circumstances of the accident. The type of collision (i.e. rear-end accident, speeding accident, rollover accident, etc.) can also affect the type of injuries a victim obtains. Common injuries suffered in a car accident:

Compensation for Car Accident Claims

Car accident victims can obtain legal damages if they are injured in a negligence-based accident. There are two types of legal damages:

• economic damages, which compensate you for losses and damages that have a clear value, such as bills for your property damage, medical bills, lost wages, etc., and
• noneconomic damages, which aim to compensate you for losses that do not have an exact price tag like pain and suffering, post-traumatic stress disorder, loss of quality of life, or loss of consortium (for your family).

Is Pennsylvania a Comparative Negligence State?

Pennsylvania is a modified comparative negligence state, which means that a claimant can pursue damages if there are not more at fault for the accident than the liable parties. Thus, you can still pursue damages if you were less than 51% at fault for the accident, and a claimant’s settlement award will be reduced based on their percentage of fault.

A claimant may be assigned a percentage of fault if they:

• Made an illegal lane change
• Were driving while distracted (i.e. texting, eating, fiddling with their radio, etc.)
• Were speeding or driving recklessly
• Wore shoes or clothing that contributed to the accident (i.e. certain footwear and baggy clothing can interfere with the pedals, etc.)
• Contributed to the accident in any way because of their own negligent actions
