We Handle All Types of Car Accidents in Penn Hill, PA
Whether you have been rear-ended at the Penn Hills Shopping Center or been hit by a
drunk driver on I-376, we are ready to represent you in your claim. Remember, you
generally have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit,
so don’t delay reaching out for representation.
Drunk Driving Crashes
Our car accident attorneys hold drunk drivers to account for every bit of pain and
suffering they cause our clients. Whether a corresponding DUI criminal case is filed
against the driver or not, we vigorously seek full compensation from impaired drivers.
Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end collisions are quite common, and the driver in the back is typically liable — but
not always. A driver who unlawfully comes to a stop on the road and is rear-ended can
face liability for injuries from a resulting collision.
If you’ve been in a rear-end accident, we’ll thoroughly investigate the crash to single out
the liable party and hold them accountable.
Distracted Driving Wrecks
An increasing number of car wrecks are caused by distracted drivers. Before
smartphones, distractions already posed a clear risk to road users. But now that every
driver has access to a phone, the consequences of distracted driving are more
widespread than ever.
DelVecchio & Miller car accident attorneys can meticulously gather evidence of
distracted driving when building a case, including cell phone records and traffic cam
footage.
Intersection Accidents
Intersections such as Frankstown Road at Duff Road are common locations for traffic
accidents. When traffic that is moving in multiple directions meets at an intersection,
one small mistake can lead to long-term consequences.
Driver negligence can lead to:
● T-bone accidents
● Rear-end collisions
● Head-on collisions
● Accidents with motorcycles
● Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
Often, serious and catastrophic injuries occur in intersection wrecks. Victims need help
to pay for their medical expenses and lost wages. Our attorneys serving Penn Hills
clients understand this need and fight hard for our clients’ futures.
Aggressive Driving Accidents
Aggressive driving includes many unlawful and dangerous driving behaviors, such as:
● Excessive speeding
● Street racing
● Road rage
● Brake checking
● Stalking by vehicle
● Following too closely
When an aggressive driver causes a wreck, the victims deserve justice. In some cases,
drivers who engage in these behaviors will face criminal charges. But even when the
criminal justice system fails, drivers should pay for the injuries they cause.
We are here to protect the rights of our clients who are victims of aggressive drivers,
whether criminal charges are filed or not.
Rideshare Accidents
Accidents involving drivers for Lyft, Uber, and similar services present complicated
issues that our attorneys will confidently handle. If you were injured by a rideshare
driver, we’ll diligently pursue what you are owed from the appropriate insurance
company.
Leave Insurance Company Problems to Us
Whether you have full or limited tort insurance coverage, your claim can be stronger
with the help of a car accident attorney. Insurance companies profit by increasing
premium payments and limiting claims payouts. The more they have to pay claimants,
the lower their profits.
These massive businesses prefer claimants who don’t have legal representation. Car
accident attorneys know the law and are familiar with every compensable category of
damages their clients deserve.
Sadly, victims without lawyers often take insurance company adjusters at their word.
The result can be settlements that are shockingly far lower than what these victims
deserve.
Limited Tort Coverage
Under the provisions of limited tort coverage, you must first seek accident compensation
from your own auto insurer. These benefits, which are paid without regard to fault,
include limited compensation for losses such as:
● Medical bills
● Lost wages
● Certain out-of-pocket expenses
However, your benefits will not include consideration for your pain and suffering.
In most cases, you are not allowed to sue the at-fault driver when you have limited tort
coverage. Exceptions in which you are allowed to sue include:
● Dismemberment
● Disfigurement
● Severe impairment
● Permanent, catastrophic injury
Additional exceptions are made for cases involving:
● Drunk drivers at fault
● Out-of-state vehicles
● Intentional harm
● Lack of insurance
● Commercial vehicles
● Motorcycles
● Pedestrians
Although you don’t have to prove fault to receive limited tort benefits, the value of your
claim may be contested by your insurance company. An attorney can help you recover
what you are truly owed.
When appropriate, our attorney can also build a case that allows you to sue under full
tort provisions, granting you access to more compensation.
Full Tort
Claims under full tort policies allow us to seek compensation for all of your losses,
including:
● Medical and hospital costs
● Full lost-wage compensation
● Compensation for associated expenses and costs
● Property damage
● Pain and suffering
● Emotional distress
● Loss of enjoyment of life
● Other non-economic damages
If your injury was very serious, the amount of compensation you need may exceed the
driver’s liability insurance coverage.
In that case, we might decide to explore other options:
● File a claim with your under/uninsured motorist coverage
● Pursue a judgment for damages directly from the defendant
We’ll assess both your and the other party’s insurance coverage, the strength of your
case, and the likelihood of a successful claim. Then, we’ll make every reasonable
attempt to get you the compensation you deserve.
Proving Liability
If we represent you in a full tort claim, our team will begin building a formidable case for
liability.
We’ll thoroughly investigate the accident and gather strong evidence, such as:
● Traffic and surveillance cam footage
● Witness statements
● Accident reconstruction data
● Police and accident reports
We’ll be looking for evidence that the other driver was negligent or reckless, such as:
● Driving while intoxicated
● Texting while driving
● Moving too fast for current conditions
● Speeding
● Making an improper lane change
● Running a red light
● Failing to yield
We will exhaust every effort to identify the liable actions and parties and hold them fully
accountable.
