Frequently Asked Questions

What if the damage was partially my fault?
If you’re partially at fault for the damage, it’s okay. You should still be eligible for compensation for the damage the other person caused. For example, let’s say you believe that you were 25% at fault for the accident while the other person is 75%. This percentage is negotiable with the insurance adjuster and our team provides professional counsel throughout the negotiation process.
Does my insurance pay for the damage? Or the other person’s insurance?
When the damage to your property is a result of another party’s negligence (read: carelessness), most often it’s the other party’s insurance company that pays for your damages.
What if the other person doesn’t have a good insurance plan?
In Pennsylvania, for auto accidents in particular, insurance companies offer what’s called Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage. This insurance will help to cover your expenses (medical bills, property damage, etc.) if the person who is at fault doesn’t have enough insurance to cover it.
Do I have to go to small claims court?
Typically property damage claims are settled between you and the insurance company outside of court through informal negotiations between you and the insurance adjustor. Small claims court, like the kind you see on TV, is most often for parties who don’t have adequate home and auto insurance.
