PEDESTRIAN ATTORNEY
The defense adjuster told me not to hire an attorney to represent me for my PA pedestrian accident case. Why is he wrong?
- The adjuster is paid by his insurance company to settle your Pennsylvania pedestrian accident claim as soon as possible for the LEAST settlement amount.
- Who would he rather battle with - an attorney who has handled over 1,000 PA personal injury claims or an unrepresented victim?

PEDESTRIAN MEDICAL BILLS
I was walking in the crosswalk on Main St. when a car hit me. Why should my car insurance company pay my medical bills when the PA pedestrian accident was caused by the negligent driver?
- Pennsylvania is a "no-fault" state.
- Your own auto insurance carrier pays your medical bills regardless of who was at fault for the Pennsylvania pedestrian accident.
- Your automobile insurance rates can NOT go up because of the payments of your medical bills.
My son was walking on campus at Lehigh University when he was hit by a car. Will the driver's insurance company pay his medical bills?
- When a car hits a pedestrian, the pedestrian's Pennsylvania car insurance company pays the medical bills.
- If your son doesn't own a car but still uses your home as his primary residence, your insurance company will pay.
- Remember, your car insurance premiums can not be increased due to medical bill payments after a Pennsylvania pedestrian accident.
I was a pedestrian hit by a car in Stroudsburg PA. I live alone and don't own a car. Who pays for my medical bills?
- Pennsylvania law regarding pedestrian accident cases requires the driver's insurance company to pay your medical bills regardless of who is at fault for the pedestrian-car accident.
If the medical bills after a Pennsylvania pedestrian accident are higher than my medical coverage on my car insurance policy, who is responsible for my unpaid medical bills?
- If you have private health insurance coverage, they will pay the medical bills after your Pennsylvania pedestrian accident lawyer supplies them with proof that you used up your auto coverage.
- If you do not have private health insurance coverage or if they don't cover the medical care that you need, your PA pedestrian accident attorney will make those outstanding medical bills a part of your personal injury claim.

PEDESTRIAN MEDICAL CARE
I have a pedestrian accident case after a car hit me on Broad St. in Bethlehem PA. Do I need to obtain any referrals or pre-certifications before starting my medical care?
- No. When a car hits a pedestrian, each Pennsylvania pedestrian accident victim makes their own decisions as to what type of medical care to get. They also choose their own doctors.
I need chiropractic care and physical therapy after I was hit while walking to the Perkasie PA post office. Is there a maximum number of visits allowed under my automobile insurance policy?

I want to see a specialist after my pedestrian accident in Stroudsburg PA. Do I have to pay any co-pays or deductibles in order to see the doctor?

PEDESTRIAN LOST WAGES
I lost time from work after being a pedestrian accident victim in an Allentown PA crash. Who pays for my lost wages?
- If you paid for that optional coverage with your insurance company, they will pay your wage loss claim.
- If you don't have wage loss coverage with your carrier, your Pennsylvania pedestrian accident attorney will add that loss to the value of your personal injury case when negotiating with the defendant's car insurance company.
If I paid for lost wage coverage on my automobile insurance policy, do I receive 100% of my lost wages after my pedestrian accident in the Lehigh Valley?
- No. There is no payment for the 1st five work days missed and, then . . .
- Your car insurance pays 80% of your gross wages up to the monthly maximum you paid for.
How do I recover my lost wages not paid by my car insurance policy after my Bucks County PA pedestrian accident?
- Your Pennsylvania pedestrian accident lawyer should demand that the Defendant's insurance coverage pay:
- your first 5 work days missed
- 20% of your gross wages up to your monthly maximum
- 100% of your wages which exceed your monthly maximum coverage amount
If I use sick leave or vacation time to pay for work days missed due to my Pocono Mtns. pedestrian accident, is the negligent car driver responsible to pay me for that loss?
- Yes. The driver's insurance company must repay you for benefits you used up after your PA pedestrian accident.
- Your Pennsylvania pedestrian accident attorney should not accept any denial of this claim by the Defendant's insurance carrier based upon a "double recovery" theory of defense.

PEDESTRIAN TORT OPTION
