The courts of the United States can be very confusing
and complex. Or at least that's the way it seems to me. It can be
difficult for the average person to find their way through the legal
system without this specialized type of schooling. At this site find information about
Pennsylvania
auto accident attorneys.
It is sometimes best to have an attorney, since even a small error in the
procedures
can be very damaging to the outcome of your case. In most cases, the best
way to protect your rights is to hire an attorney.
Basic questions to ask your
accident attorney before hiring him or her:
-
Please tell me the cost of the initial consultation
-
How many attorneys will be working on my case.
-
How long do you think it will take for my case to be
resolved
-
How much will my case cost
-
What can I do to keep the costs low
-
What can I do to improve my case
-
Will you keep me informed by phone or do I need to
come in to your office to get the progress of my case

information: The State of Pennsylvania has financial
responsibility/compulsory limits of 15/30/5. The first two figures refer
to bodily injury liability and the third figure to property damage
liability. 15/30/5 means coverage up to $30000 for all persons injured
in an accident, subject to a limit of $15000 for one individual, and
$5000 coverage for property damage.
The insurance industry and consumer groups generally
recommend a minimum of $100,000 of bodily injury protection per person
and $300,000 per accident since accidents may cost far more than the
minimum limits mandated by most states.
