When you’ve sustained serious injuries in a car accident or by tripping over a pothole in a store parking lot, questions undoubtedly abound as you begin the process of recovering from those injuries—how will you cover the cost of medical care? How long will you be away from work? How will the ongoing need for physical therapy impact your life? Even taking into account insurance reimbursements, many accident victims are left struggling with significant out-of-pocket expenses related to their injuries.

FAQ: What if the insurance company says that I am barred from recovering compensation after my Crawford County accident because I was partially responsible for causing the accident? +
Under Pennsylvania’s comparative negligence law, you may still be entitled to compensation for your injuries even if you partially caused the accident. This means that as long as you were not more negligent than the defendant (i.e., if you were less than 51 percent responsible for the accident), you will be entitled to recover compensation based on the other party’s negligence. Your compensation award will, however, be impacted if you are found partially responsible. If you are found to be 20 percent responsible and are awarded a compensation package of $100,000, your award will be reduced by 20 percent (to $80,000).
FAQ: What if there were multiple parties whose negligence caused my accident? Can I recover compensation from any one of them? +
Every party to your accident can be held financially responsible for the portion of the accident that they caused. In other words, each defendant is held financially accountable for the percentage of fault assigned to that party. When multiple defendants are involved, each defendant cannot be held liable for the entire amount of your compensation award. For example, assume two people acted negligently to cause your accident, and one of them was found to be 50 percent at fault, and the other was found to be 50 percent at fault. If you were awarded $100,000 in compensation, one party would be responsible for $50,000 and the other for $50,000—you could not recover the entire amount from either party. However, if one party was found to be 60 percent or more responsible, that party could be held responsible for the entire award.
