Another 24.8 million people visit physicians’ offices for treatment of unintentional injuries, while around 98 million victims head to hospital emergency rooms for care.

How Liability Works Under Pennsylvania Law
Accidents happen because of carelessness or misconduct, so the legal theory of negligence applies to these cases. To recover monetary damages, you must have evidence showing that the at-fault party breached the duty to exercise reasonable care, and this breach was the direct cause of the accident. Though not an element of proof, you must also comply with Pennsylvania’s statute of limitations. You have 2 years to sue in court, and the clock starts to run the date of the accident.
The concept of negligence will be a key factor at all stages of the legal process, including:
Filing an Insurance Claim: Because motorists, property owners, and businesses carry liability insurance, you will typically file a claim under the at-fault party’s policy. It is possible to settle, but insurers often deny claims to protect their own financial interests.
Litigation: If the insurance company refuses to pay a fair amount, the next step is suing in court to recover damages. The case starts by filing a complaint, but the proceedings will also include court appearances, motion hearings, discovery, and depositions before getting to trial.
