Legal Question in Personal Injury in Pennsylvania

You are not bound by your mother's tort option if you do not reside with her. Moreover, if you suffered a serious injury (as defined under PA law), you would overcome the limited tort threshold. The bottom line is that if you suffered an injury, you need to seek medical treatment for your personal health and there is absolutely no reason that you should not pursue a claim under the circumstances.

First, your tort option is determined by YOUR policy, even though you weren't in your car--since you don't live with your mother, her policy's tort option won't affect you unless you were a "named insured" on her policy. Second, there are several exceptions to the limited tort "problem" if you are deemed to be a limited tort insured. If you have a serious injury, if the other car had a non-Pennsylvania license plate on it, of if the other driver was DUI are 3 main exceptions. Most importantly, regardless of yorr tort option, you are entitled to at least $5000 of medical coverage from your automobile insurance policy. So, if you are experiencing any medical problems, you MUST get them checked out--it won't cost you a dime. Lastly, you should speak with an experienced personal injury attorney to give you advice, recommend the best doctors to treat each of your medical conditions, and represent you. I've been representing victims of car accidents for more than 33 years. If you call me, there's no charge to talk. If you like what I say and how I say it, you can then decide whether you want to meet with me to discuss how I can get you all of the money you deserve because somebody rear-ended you. Please call ASAP (and don't talk to any insurance company--that's what your lawyer will do for you). Richard Senker 610 279 1600.

As pointed out above you may not be bound by limited tort if you did not live with your Mother.

As the other's mention, it is your policy that determines whether you have full or limited tort. Even if you only have limited tort, there may still be some options where you can recover. If you have full tort, you certainly have more options.
