Pennsylvania Injury Case Frequently Asked Questions

• Who pays for damage to my car?
  
  If your car is damaged in an accident, you are entitled to receive money from the person who was responsible for the accident. If your car is slightly damaged you may wish to recover through your own collision insurance.
  
  
• Will my premiums increase if I make a claim?
  
  An insurer cannot increase your premium rates solely because you or one of the insureds under your policy made a claim and was paid unless it is determined that you or the insured was at fault.
  
  
• Who pays the attorney fees?
  
  Most attorneys charge a contingent fee. This means that a percenage of the gross recovery is paid as an attorney's fees. If no injury or damage claims are recovered, then you don't owe any attorney fee. Except that the attorney may also charge the claimant costs in addition to the contingent fees.
