We know where your Allentown car accident happened

We travel in and around Allentown everyday. Chances are, we know where your accident happened and can visualize it just from speaking with you. Lawyers from miles away cannot do this with you.

For years, Allentown has been a growing area in Pennsylvania. This has caused tons of traffic on the highways and side-streets. This is especially true on our most popular highways, such as 78, 22, 33, and 476. This heavy volume of car and truck traffic on Allentown interstates and other roads increases the chance of car accidents resulting in serious injuries.

Therefore, it is important to hire a lawyer for your car accident case as soon as possible after the incident. This ensures that you have someone on hand who knows how Allentown courts operate and can help guide through this difficult time in life with compassion and understanding.

We also know that an Allentown car accident can cause traumatic emotional distress. We are here to listen and show you that we care.  Contact an Allentown auto accident lawyer at Kitay Law Offices today!

How can I get paid for my pain and suffering?

Believe it or not, in Pennsylvania your rights to recover for your injuries are frequently determined by the terms of your own car insurance policy. Unfortunately, you probably have no idea what your rights are because most insurance agents simply offer you the cheapest policy possible. Your attorney will review the terms of your policy to help determine your rights.

Basically, however, you can recover for your pain and suffering if you have selected the “full tort” option on your car insurance policy.  The “full tort” option is typically more expensive than your other option, “limited tort.” With the limited tort option, you can usually only recover your out-of-pocket costs related to your car accident.

Importantly, there are some exceptions where you can recover for pain and suffering even if you have the limited tort option on your car insurance policy.

If I have full tort on my policy, can I get money for anything other than pain and suffering?

Yes! If you are able to recover damages with the “full tort” option on your policy, you can recover money for many different effects your accident has had on your life.  While there can be more, some things you can receive money for include:

• Pain, inconvenience, and emotional distress
• Embarrassment and humiliation
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Disfigurement

My Allentown car accident has damaged my relationship with my spouse.  What about that?

If you suffered injuries in a car accident, your spouse may also have a claim called “loss of consortium.” Married couples have many different aspects to their relationship, such as who does the laundry, who cleans the dishes, who takes out the trash, and more.

You each also support each other when you have a bad day or come down with the flu. Finally, you have an intimate relationship. If your relationship with your spouse has been affected by your injuries in a car accident, your spouse may have a claim for compensation, as well.

What if it is my spouse’s car insurance policy?

If your spouse selected the limited tort option, you are likely bound by that selection. Unfortunately, the selection applies to every family member in your household.  Typically, this is true unless they have their own car and car insurance policy with the full tort option selected. Therefore, it is important to contact your car insurance company prior to an accident to ensure you have the full tort option on your policy.

Importantly, whatever option you have on your policy at the time of your accident determines your rights. You can’t change your policy to the full tort option after an accident in order to recover for your pain and suffering. The terms of your policy that are in effect at the time of your accident determine your rights.
