What is the Most Common Personal Injury Claim?
Motor vehicle accidents are by far the most common type of personal injury claim, accounting for over 50% of all cases nationwide.
Why car accidents lead the pack:
With millions of vehicles on the road daily, accidents are unfortunately inevitable. From minor rear-end collisions to serious multi-vehicle crashes, these incidents generate the highest volume of personal injury claims.
Other common claims include:
Slip and fall accidents (premises liability)
Medical malpractice
Workplace injuries
Dog bites
Product liability cases
What makes car accident claims unique:
Unlike other personal injury cases, vehicle accidents often involve multiple insurance companies, complex liability questions, and varying state laws. Pennsylvania's limited tort vs. full tort options add another layer of complexity.
The aftermath reality:
Car accident victims face medical bills, lost wages, vehicle repairs, and dealing with insurance adjusters focused on minimizing payouts. Many people don't realize they're entitled to compensation beyond basic medical coverage.
