Can You Hire a Private Attorney Even if You Have Limited Tort Option

Pennsylvania car accident victims with limited tort insurance have the same right to hire a private attorney as victims who have full tort insurance coverage.

Limited tort may, in some instances, limit a victim's ability to recover damages for pain and suffering but it does not limit a victim's right to hire a lawyer.

That said, not every private attorney in Pennsylvania has the same experience with limited tort and some lawyers may not be comfortable handling limited tort cases. For that reason, it is important to look for a lawyer who has experience and past success helping victims with limited tort insurance coverage recover the damages to which they may be entitled pursuant to Pennsylvania law.

Do you know someone who is hesitant to contact an attorney because he or she has limited tort coverage? If so, please forward this page to that person so that he or she can understand that the rights of a person with limited tort insurance to hire an attorney are the same as a person with full insurance coverage.
