Comparative Negligence

It is important to determine who was careless or at fault (negligent) in a vehicle accident because that person can be held liable for damages in a personal injury lawsuit. If a loved one died in your vehicle accident and you weren’t at fault, you may have a case for wrongful death.

Pennsylvania operates under a comparative negligence system that examines how much each party was responsible for the damages and injuries involved. You must show that the other party was 50% or more negligent (careless or at fault), and you must not be more than 50% liable in order to recover damages.

Recoverable Damages

If you were injured in a vehicle accident due to someone else’s carelessness, you may be able to collect monetary damages for any or some combination of the following losses:

• Disfigurement
• Embarrassment
• Emotional suffering
• Loss of consortium
• Loss of enjoyment
• Loss of love and affection
• Lost wages, including overtime
• Medical bills
• Mental disability
• Mental distress
• Pain and suffering
• Permanent scars
• Physical disability
• Property damage
• All out-of-pocket expenses, such as house cleaning, lawn mowing, transportation charges, and others you may have incurred as a result of your vehicle accident
