Frequently asked questions about Pittsburgh car accidents

Should I accept the first insurance offer?

Usually not without legal review. Early offers may not account for future treatment, missed work, permanent impairment or pain that continues after the initial claim is opened.

What if the other driver was working?

If the driver was working, a business, employer or commercial insurer may be involved. That can change the investigation and available insurance coverage.

Can passengers bring a claim?

Yes. Injured passengers may have claims depending on who caused the crash, available insurance and the nature of their injuries.
