Pennsylvania Lawyer Fighting Car Insurance Companies
When you have been in an accident, many people do not know that the law often affords you more coverage than what the insurance company tells you that you have. The solution is working with an experienced attorney like Douglas V. Stoehr to protect your interests.
Attorney Stoehr has numerous years of experience resolving car insurance disputes, including those involving uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage and the limited tort coverage election. He will also file bad faith actions against insurance companies, if necessary, in western and central Pennsylvania.
What Your Insurer Isn't Telling You About Your UM or UIM Coverage
If you have been hurt by an uninsured or underinsured motorist, or have been the victim of a hit and run, you may be able to make a claim against your own insurance company. In order to make this claim, you must have uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage on your policy. Frequently, many people do not know whether they have this coverage, and their own insurance company usually does not bring this to their attention. Thus, you need to consult with an attorney who is experienced in these matters. Do not leave money on the table, call our firm to make this claim for you and thoroughly analyze your insurance coverage.
Working with Attorney Douglas V. Stoehr can help keep your insurer accountable. When insurance companies know that you are working with a lawyer familiar with their tactics, they know they can't cut corners and keep things from you. Take action. Call us at 814-946-4100.
The Limited Tort Option Does Not Always Mean Limited Results
Under Pennsylvania law, you may have selected the "limited tort option" on your car insurance coverage. This option saves money, but it also limits the rights that you and others covered by your policy have to sue for pain and suffering.
Often when you have been in an accident, insurers tell you that this limited tort option prevents you from taking the legal action you need. This is not always true.
There are exceptions to limited tort coverage. For example, you may make a claim if the vehicle that injured you is registered out of state, if you were struck by a drunk driver who was later convicted, or if you were driving a rental or business-owned vehicle. The best way to know whether an exception applies to your situation or whether your injuries are serious enough to overcome your “limited tort” election is to talk with Attorney Doug Stoehr about your options.
