Types Of Car Accidents And Common Injuries In Pittsburgh

We represent individuals injured in a wide range of motor vehicle accidents, including:

  • Passenger vehicle collisions: Often caused by distracted driving, speeding or failure to yield
  • Commercial truck accidents: Involve large vehicles and can lead to severe injuries and complex liability issues
  • Motorcycle crashes: Riders face high risk, even in low-speed accidents
  • Bicycle and pedestrian incidents: Injuries that result from driver inattention or failure to observe right-of-way
  • Drunk or impaired driving: Alcohol or drug use remains a major factor in serious and preventable crashes
  • Uninsured/underinsured motorist accidents: Require careful insurance navigation to secure fair compensation

Each type of accident presents unique challenges, and our team is equipped to guide you through the legal process with clarity and care.

These accidents frequently result in serious physical injuries, such as:

  • Fractures and soft tissue damage
  • Neck, back and spinal cord injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Internal organ damage
  • Burns and nerve injuries
  • Psychological trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

If you or a loved one has sustained any of these injuries, our attorneys will advocate for your right to fair compensation and help you understand your options under Pennsylvania’s no-fault insurance laws.

Understanding Fault And Insurance In Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania uses a no-fault insurance system. Your own insurance policy covers medical expenses and lost wages after an accident, no matter who caused the crash. This coverage is called Personal Injury Protection (PIP).

If you chose full tort coverage on your auto insurance policy, you may pursue additional compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. This can include damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress and long-term disability.

Our attorneys provide these services:

  • Review your insurance coverage and explain your legal options
  • Investigate the accident and determine liability
  • Communicate with insurance companies
  • Pursue fair compensation through settlement or litigation

We also help clients in West Virginia, where fault-based insurance laws apply. Whether your case involves limited tort, full tort or third-party liability, we guide you through the process with clarity and care.

Steps To Take After A Car Accident

If you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident, taking the right steps can protect your health and your legal rights. We recommend the following:

  • Seek medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor
  • Report the accident to law enforcement and your insurance provider
  • Document the scene with photographs and witness information
  • Keep records of medical treatment, expenses and communications
  • Contact an experienced car accident attorney before speaking with insurance adjusters

Our firm offers free consultations and works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you do not pay unless we recover compensation for you.

Why Clients Choose D’Amico Law Offices

Choosing the right attorney after a car accident is a critical decision. Our personal injury law firm offers a level of service and experience that sets us apart:

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents In Pennsylvania

If you’ve been involved in a crash, you likely have questions about your rights, your insurance, and what to expect next. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we hear from clients.

What Should I Do Immediately After A Car Accident?

Seek medical attention, report the accident to the police and your insurer, document the scene and contact a car accident attorney before speaking with insurance adjusters.

Can I File A Lawsuit If I Have Limited Tort Coverage?

Limited tort coverage restricts your ability to sue for pain and suffering unless your injuries meet specific criteria. Our attorneys review your policy and explain your options.

How Long Do I Have To File A Car Accident Claim In Pennsylvania?

You must file a personal injury lawsuit within two years from the date of the accident. Acting quickly helps preserve evidence and strengthens your case.

What Compensation Can I Recover After A Car Accident?

You may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other related costs depending on your coverage and the facts of your case.

Do I Need A Lawyer For A Minor Car Accident?

Even in minor accidents, legal advice helps protect your rights and ensures fair treatment from insurance companies. A lawyer assesses your case and guides you through the process.
