Your Legal Rights After an Accident in Allentown, PA
Allentown accident claims are governed by Pennsylvania law. Verified Pennsylvania law, with sources. General information — not legal advice for your specific case.
You have 2 years to file [source]
Pennsylvania's statute of limitations gives you 2 years from the date of the crash to file a personal-injury lawsuit. Miss it and you usually lose the right to recover — one of the most important reasons to talk to a lawyer early.
Fault & your right to recover [source]
Pennsylvania follows modified comparative negligence (51% bar) — you can recover as long as you were not more than 50% at fault. At 51% or more, recovery is barred. Pennsylvania is a "choice" state: whether you can sue the at-fault driver depends on the coverage option you selected on your own policy.
Minimum insurance coverage [source]
Pennsylvania's minimum liability coverage is just $15,000 per person / $30,000 per accident for bodily injury and $5,000 for property damage — often far less than a serious injury costs, which is why uninsured/underinsured-motorist coverage matters.
Limits on compensation [source]
Pennsylvania does not cap the compensation you can recover in a general personal-injury claim — your award is based on your actual losses.
